Cupid’s Butter Sandwich (1909) on Sandwiches of History

What better day to try the Cupid’s Butter Sandwich from 1909’s Salads, Sandwiches, and Chatting Dish Daintiness than Valentine’s Day? Unlike everything else today, this has no red color to it whatsoever. Go figure. But it does have a yolk shoved through a sieve because why wouldn’t it?

Has anyone ever answered the "obsession with sieved egg yolks" question satisfactorily?

[@sc149]

Honestly for this recipe it seems like a natural combination, as an angels food cake involves extra whites without yolks, and in 1909 you lack large amounts of constantly available refrigeration, so if those yolks are usable in the filling/frosting/icing, well there you go! Plus for any cook who uses egg whites or yolks seperately, you are gonna have more of the other leftover, so these kinds of recipe naturally fall out of just assuming rational behavior when someone makes Curds (yolks) or Meringues (whites) or egg white omelletes or mayonaise or hollandaise or light cakes like angel food cake or all sorts of things. Plus egg availability wasnt standardised: when hens lay more you have more eggs to use, and eggs might be cheaper locally when hens are laying more seasonally or daily even if you dont keep them yourself, so having a bunch of ways to use up leftover eggs so you arent wasting food is vital to be thrifty!

[@davidfulton179]

I was convinced you'd plus it up with 5 spice! I think some raspberry preserve would with it.

[@AllysonWhipple]

I admire your commitment to your work . . . I absolutely just would have made a boxed angel food cake.

[@BlakeTheEmperor99]

No idea what I would have added to the sandwich. Chocolate though? Seems fitting, it works well with orange flavor.

[@MonologueMusicals]

Oh my, with the shaved chocolate. Just make it a frosted cake, then drizzle orange liqueur syrup over that.

[@PgLangGang]

The mixing music is always a vibe to listen to.

[@cyberpunkcentral8500]

Your angel food cake looked great! I would never have the patience to pass egg yolks through a sieve, that looks so tedious. What a fun Vday recipes, thank you 💖

[@kameljoe21]

shaved chocolate I had no clue how you would have plused it up. Yet I seen the egg and was like... ummm Looks kinda good!

[@bostonrailfan2427]

sieved yolks could easily be replaced by microplane grating…a lot easier to do and you’re used to doing it

[@VIpanfried]

Nice job with that cake! That Cupid’s sandwich looks delicious 😋 you’d need to find a use for the edges, but those should be darling if you cut each sandwich with a heart shaped cookie cutter.

[@mattapropism]

Barry, did you make this today?? I always assumed you pre-taped and edited these ahead of time, but if not, I'm absolutely in awe of your work ethic. Love the work, as always.

[@SandwichesofHistory]

No, I tend to film the day before to give myself time to edit, write, and stage. When I started I was doing it same-day and not only was it stressful but chock full of errors. Not that I am error-free now by any means lol

[@sheryl7837]

Sounds like it was probably a tea sandwich not a lunch sandwich. I’m glad you liked it.

[@jetpackminer]

Man that looks phenomenal

[@bobloblaw2342]

your willingness to make the missing ingredients brings me untold amounts of joy

[@mikec63136]

The 1909 sieves were probably less fine amd easier to use.

[@saraschneider6781]

Yummy!

[@aimeewynhausen9924]

Happy Valentine's Day!

[@retroinspect]

I know you go for accuracy but I'm thinking you could reduce the sieved egg yolk with just powdered egg yolk

[@BPB9973952]

home made Angel food cake is delicious

[@ShiivaWilding]

I like the music for the making of section, though it should go all through until the taste test, be a little quieter, and fade out as the video transitions. If it's going to stick around that is, I honestly think this is one of the few channels on this platform that could do identical videos every day and keep gaining an audience regardless.

[@englishatheart]

Your girlfriend (assuming you two aren't married, since you call her your SO and not "wife") and I share the same name. 🙂 I just always find it funny when I find someone else named "Christine," since it doesn't seem to be that common of a name. It's usually "Christina." Ugh, can't tell you how many times people have called me that instead of "Christine." Sometimes they do it just to piss me off. 😂

[@SandwichesofHistory]

😂 Yes, she hears that all the time as well. Drive her crazy. The worst I get is a misspelling (Berry) or "What is Barry short for?"

[@Betta66]

Sounds delicious

[@Hambam123]

My Valentine’s Day present was a colonoscopy. Yay

[@Hambam123]

Everything checked out don’t worry 😂

[@SandwichesofHistory]

@@Hambam123 Alas, a good thing to do despite what you have to do prep for it. Glad it all turned ok in the end.

[@wfleming537]

Happy Valentine's Day Barry! But I have to ask do you really record these the same day you release them or were you lying when you said what day it was?

[@SandwichesofHistory]

"Lying" lol I used to shoot/edit/post same day but it was stressful and error prone. And honestly, when you saw the video it was valentine's day so...

[@RealHeyMark]

Oh look, more hard boiled eggs!

[@SandwichesofHistory]

😂Right? Finally!

[@nantwon]

I think egg flavor is mostly in the white

[@SandwichesofHistory]

Hmm not so sure I agree with you tbh

[@bostonrailfan2427]

it’s in the yolk, but since your grated it you’re making it light thus less taste if it were true then you’d taste it in the food cake and other desserts that feature the whites

[@HanktheFrank]

Wow! I read your mind on the plus up, dark chocolate all the way. Incidentally, is Cupid shooting an arrow through the heart of your intended mate really appropriate to signify love? Sounds like murder to me.💘😵🤣

[@SandwichesofHistory]

I've often thought about that too. I guess it's a metaphor that your heart is dead except to me? Still, odd.

[@PeterBJames]

Barry, next time record your audio with our company's product, the Audeze Filter, and having your take interrupted by leaf blowers and other noises will be a thing of the past.

[@SandwichesofHistory]

When I Google it I see a bluetooth speakerphone. Is that what you're referring to?

[@melissalambert7615]

Might be good using pound cake. Sieving egg yolks is worth the bother. I do this when making devilled eggs for a party. Unless it's all guys, then who cares. Ha, ha.

[@stormobsession]

That tone in your voice as you mashed the yolks. I suppose using a fork to mash them in a bowl wasnt good enough for them

[@equalizer1553]

Cake sandwich, is this a first?

[@SandwichesofHistory]

Haven't done a ton of sweet sandwiches but there are many.

[@frankmacleod2565]

ouch, sounds so dirty

[@alexander_richter]

Who's Christine?

[@SandwichesofHistory]

My significant other. Probably should've mentioned that lol

[@DamplyDoo]

Your video editor is adding sassy comments🤔

[@SandwichesofHistory]

Yes, yes I am heh

[@joshschmidt4546]

you seem like you know your way around a kitchen, are you just a home cook or have u worked in kitchens? you should make a video about yourself

[@SandwichesofHistory]

Thanks, Josh! I just love to cook (and clearly eat lol) and have a lot curiosity. This was my first time making Angel Food Cake and as my significant other will attest, I have a terrible track record at baking. But I keep at and seemed to have turned corner a bit thanks to do thing this series.
