Dutch Lunch Sandwich (1936) on Sandwiches of History⁣

Yes, it is another one of those sandwich where it is hard to discern where the name came from. After all, the name Dutch Lunch Sandwich of 1,001 Sandwiches from 1936, may have been a nod to the use of tinned fish in Dutch cuisine. But I suspect that the author was leaning into the more pejorative use of Dutch back in the day. Still, despite its small size, it seems like it’d be a tasty little number. Just not, you know, filling.

[@GhostManBrandonDDpre]

A Dutch caper sounds like a gangster movie.

[@feepluk0]

We are still cheap and stingy, tbh. Kinda proud of it.

[@eddieburrelli]

'frugal' :)

[@christinashelby6083]

You'd think it would have been Scottish, not Dutch, lol. I tell ya, this has long been a favorite in our house - whenever my husband isn't around for a meal, the kids and I break out the saltines and canned sardines and have a great meal. My husband doesn't like any tinned fish; it's a wonder our marriage has succeeded, lol.

[@Thoroughly_Wet]

Basically my favorite snack. Knäckerbröd with cream cheese, kippered herring ,and pickled onions.

[@malosua9790]

In the four days that I've known about this channel it has taken up so much of my time it's almost a problem

[@SandwichesofHistory]

😂 sorry-ish?

[@joshuawells5953]

As a person who frequently enjoys sardines and crackers, I highly recommend mustard or hot sauce.

[@noahmoerbeek6580]

My Dutch grandfather would have loved this.

[@gseivert]

Mine would have done it with pickled Herring.

[@1revjay]

Your entrance cracked me up.

[@williampalchak7574]

A dash of a good dark mustard.

[@blktauna]

looks like it could be a fun hors d'oeuvre

[@Thoroughly_Wet]

Gotta love some horse do-overs

[@Origamidude]

I've been certainly enjoying this in some form, usually open faced and some ingredient adjustments. Certainly not filling, but makes a decent snack. Glad to see it showcased here!

[@TreasureTrain]

I enjoy that you reiterate each ingredient before each taste. Thank you

[@SiegeBallista]

Barry since the state of Indiana has just legally decreed that tacos and burritos are officially sandwiches will you now be covering them on your channel as well?

[@SandwichesofHistory]

Nope. First, that ruling was to settle a who can open a restaurant where dispute so, not wide-reaching. And two, in practicality, they are not sandwiches (though I do love them both)

[@donnabarrett2781]

The entrance ala Kramer, perfecto. Incorporate the door next time.

[@ShopKatIndustries]

Maybe a vague nod to Dutch pickled herring? It's usually pickled with lots of onions. Mmmm.....now I'm hungry!

[@samhermans8236]

I had a Dutch boss once who asked me to bring a sandwich from the canteen. When I asked what he wanted he said ‘ just bring me a Dutch sandwich’. I came back with a plane drie piece off baguette thinking Dutch = stingy = cheap = plain. Apparently he wanted a cheese sandwich. Oepsie 😇☺️

[@obelix703]

Cool. Now when I haven’t had anything but some cheese crackers all day, I can legitimately say I ate a sandwich.

[@Jabjabs]

As someone with Dutch heritage... yes I am cheap.

[@alacrijaxproductions]

The anchovies in the fridge are so jealous of the sardines right now.

[@SteveHorne]

Love the vids- just wish you would pause the still of the cover of the cookbook a little longer. My brain cannot parse the image at all before it spins away!

[@SandwichesofHistory]

Now this is constructive criticism I can use. Thank you. I will start doing that as I am sure you're not the only one who feels that way. Cheers!

[@jorishenger1240]

I'm Dutch and i really thought it was gonna be a slice of brown bread with a slice of young cheese (which is a little boring but also very good imo)

[@saffron5802]

Since you're touching on Dutch recipes, have you ever thought of trying sandwiches with "Hollandse Nieuwe" (pickled herring)? It's one of the best things ever imo.

[@SandwichesofHistory]

I shall add it to my list. Thank you!

[@grokashrimp]

Thank you

[@Levi-gh1sq]

Man, this channel is awesome

[@SandwichesofHistory]

I appreciate that!

[@DeborahMaufer]

*Really* stretching the definition of sandwich here! 😄 Maybe it should be called Lilliputian Lunch Sandwich.🐟

[@EastSider48215]

Sardines and saltines are a favorite snack of mine.

[@allenfinley5778]

Some locations and other things in North America were labelled “Dutch” when that was actually a misinterpretation of “Deutsch”, meaning German (in German). You would have to look back to the location and probably immigrant population who popularized this - it could have been either Dutch or German.

[@bcham7373]

I’d have to plus that one up into the can.

[@phronsiekeys]

Dutch people love herring (raw) and onions. I've eaten it there many times. Maybe it's a nod to that. They don't eat it on saltines though!

[@burtbacarach5034]

Looks like a real Dutch Treat.

[@northernbackwoodsman263]

I would try all the versions. Would be a small lunch.

[@bmolitor615]

I'm stealing dainteeaintee. It's gone. It's mine.

[@CarlosRodriguez-dd4sb]

Have you made a Dagwood?

[@SandwichesofHistory]

Not yet it but is on the to-do list.

[@actionsub]

So you're telling me...Lunchables are a Dutch invention?

[@jemooney]

How many sandwiches do you have left to go in the 1001 Sandwiches book?

[@SandwichesofHistory]

Many

[@frankmacleod2565]

small, but tasty.

[@Aquablecs]

Day 30 of asking Barry to make the sandwich I submitted!~~ This is an interesting idea for a snack. I'd like to see a version of this with halibut and some tartar sauce. Cheers Barry!

[@VladamireD]

Probably from the same source as "going Dutch".

[@vinnieramone4818]

What the Dutch are known for is being very unexcited about very unexciting food My mother and my uncles would eat cheese on bread with tea.

[@user-cp9id1mj8b]

I'm dutch, 11 seconds into the video, and very curious what this sandwich entails

[@user-cp9id1mj8b]

0:16 :l

[@infraredux]

Enunciation Check Level Two! Did you Punch Up and Munch a Dutch Lunch to Judge?

[@jmason61]

Well it's a filling between two pieces of....bread? Are saltines bread? New court case in the works...

[@theofficialczex1708]

It's as much Dutch as I am! That is to say... Not a whole lot.

[@BELCAN57]

Looks more like a canape and less like a meal.

[@BobSacamano666]

Id hate to know what the irish lunch sandwich is.

[@melissalambert7615]

Made by my good Irish friend Mike Duggan, it's mashed potatoes on bread.

[@BobSacamano666]

@@melissalambert7615 shepherds pie on soda bread with a side of Guinness sounds good..

[@richlewis4594]

Is it just me or have saltines really gone down hill recently? They're making them so thin they barely have two sides to them now.

[@evaisgewoonsuperstom]

Always hopes you would get a Dutch sandwich! The Dutch love their bread and have if for almost every meal. Would expect some cheese, but canned sardines and salmon? Yikes 😂. Maybe for international sunday, you can try to make a ‘broodje kroket’: deepfried ragout on bread😋😋

[@SandwichesofHistory]

Great news! I tried that a couple of years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4K3ZYNsZ6mGabM

[@1GrilledFoot]

What is this, a sandwich for ants?

[@SandwichesofHistory]

😂 extra points for the Zoolander reference

[@melissalambert7615]

Not a Dutch treat that is for sure.

[@brianklaus2468]

Dutch? Seems fishy to me

[@niellahell]
