Ham-Cheese-Pineapple Sandwich (1936) on Sandwiches of History⁣

[@LindaM2005]

Ham, pineapple, and green pepper are a common pizza in Canada, so I'm not surprised they went together. I was waiting for cream cheese to be the binder.

[@jamespopham5077]

Agreed! Add some tomato sauce or dunk the grilled version in some tomato soup.

[@Maj0rB00thr0yd]

Pineapple on Pizza was invented in Canada, by a Greek man that ran a Chinese takeaway, and the brand name on the tin of pineapple that the restaurant used was “Hawaiian.” How’s that for the origin story of pineapple on pizza.

[@dirtporcelain]

I replace the bell pepper with the jalapeno variety

[@Maj0rB00thr0yd]

@@dirtporcelain As you should.

[@SpookyHelder]

I actually came to suggest pizza sauce alongside the grilling

[@cyrollan]

sounds all right, after all i do enjoy ham, pineapple, and green bell pepper on pizza!

[@BnaBreaker]

I was chanting to myself for the grilled cheese treatment, and Barry delivered, as usual! Gotta have that cronch!

[@Unkn0wn_U5er]

here in germany we have something that's called "Toast Hawaii". Really straightforward. You take Toast, usually we don't toast it but i think you can do it. On it a slice of ham, then sliced pineapple out of a can and on top cheese. I put gouda on it but you can use every cheese you like and put it in the oven 'till the cheese is melted. In the hole of the pineapple you can put an cocktail cherry if you want to but that's totally optional. Boom you have a german classic, that's dates back to 1953 and it's the creation of the first german televison chef.

[@SarahK86]

My Swiss mother made it for us when we were kids. Love it.

[@WCBriton]

As a native New Mexican, I eat a lot of grilled cheese sandwiches with green chile. Not quite the same as peppers, of course, but I kinda want to add pineapple now.

[@LVVMCMLV]

Cream cheese for a binder

[@jbolty]

for the binder I propose pizza sauce

[@Nashvillain10SE]

I don't even use the WORD pizza together with pineapple!

[@docseamonster3491]

Ah man! I was hoping that he was gonna grilled cheese treatment and he did and I was like YEAH!

[@FishareFriendsNotFood972]

I would plus up with a little honey chiptole bbq sauce as a binder

[@cherylthompsonsmith1733]

I one of the favorite favorite sandwiches I’ve ordered was this: JASON‘s deli tuna sandwich on wheat 86 the tuna sub, chick salad. That ends up being is wheat bread with chicken salad with chicken, mayo, pineapple, almonds on wheat with Swiss and sprouts (the kind that look like hair) run through the toaster machine it’s really really good.

[@lesliekanengiser8482]

Growing up, a Canadian bacon, pineapple and cheddar sandwich was a common sandwich. Loved it. No mayonnaise although my family added it for themselves And it was sliced canadian bacon and pineapple with the sharp cheddar extra toasted bread

[@stephenmorton8017]

This would be a great preparation for mountain pie sandwiches. I'd like to try it with diced jalapenos.

[@Conargle]

i need a compilation of my favourite sandwich man entering the camera frame from various angles

[@dgpi504]

Totally agree with the need for a binder. I'd also be curious to try swapping out the bell pepper for something with a little heat like a jalapeno or serrano.

[@SteveHorne]

My mom used to make a pineapple/cheddar bake with a crumb topping for thanksgiving. So good…. Thanks for verifying you are indeed finishing 😂

[@VIpanfried]

A slice of cheese for the grilled cheese version would hold everything together nicely.

[@BardovBacchus]

Bingo Bango! Just what I was thinking: GCT. Perhaps a softer cheese would bind better, lots of options too

[@homecentipede]

A lot of people are going to hate this comment but when you said you weren't expecting the green bell pepper to work on this sandwich, it reminded me of a pizza my vegetarian friend and I once ordered that had both pineapple and green bell pepper as a topping and it was really good, actually.

[@GhostManBrandonDDpre]

I have ham, cheese and pineapple. I will give it a try, definitely with the grilled cheese treatment.

[@theofficialczex1708]

The Hawaiians got that combo nailed.

[@JuiceJive]

Bell pepper and ham seems like a common enough combo, but the cinnamon and nutmeg were strange enough.

[@Lettuce-and-Tomatoes]

This looks more like a sandwich from the recipe book “3:00 AM Sandwiches for Hungry Drunks With Almost Empty Refrigerators”. Cool video! 🫡

[@frankmacleod2565]

Wow that looks good.

[@Nashvillain10SE]

There's no way I wouldn't bind that with mayo.

[@infoscholar5221]

My plu up; I'd mix those initial ingredients up with a bit of mayo.

[@blackdog5857]

Toast Hawaii!!! You should make that!!!

[@SandwichesofHistory]

I did!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHeoZWZnnatrsLM

[@BELCAN57]

Use the butter as a binder.

[@ShopKatIndustries]

Idea for a binder: pizza sauce!

[@saraschneider6781]

Agreed!

[@lessweet3093]

Had the ham, cheese & pepper ingredients been sliced, it'd sandwich better, sans binder.

[@DeborahMaufer]

With the butter on the inside and non-melted cheese, that looked ass-backwards. Butter on the outside, grill it and melt the cheese, and all is right with the world. Now it looks delicious!

[@Cobralalalala]

That sounds really good, though I think I would mix in some mayo and maybe a bit of mustard. I should probably try this when I get the chance. 🙂

[@JsDoingStuff]

I would substitute the bell pepper for jalapeños and plus it up with pepperoni

[@dannyakbar]

This is how my grandmother enters rooms :)

[@midnightfox6378]

Sounds like this would be delicious on pizza

[@Aquablecs]

Day 57 of asking Barry to make the sandwich I submitted!~~ This looks good minus the pineapple. Not a sandwich I would make, but I’d try it if someone else made it for me. Cheers Barry!

[@GrahamJ-ct4ti]

Ham-cheese-pineapple oh I’m going to love this! Ohno…

[@lavenderoh]

I think that would work well in the sandwich maker. Butter on the outside instead.

[@ddewittfulton]

Your German viewers (you might have a couple!) are likely familiar with a popular snack call "Toast Hawaii" which is what I thought I was going to be seeing . That's more of a ham steak with a ring of pineapple on toast. This version you showed seemed counterintuitive (maybe even LUNCH counter intuitive?) I am not sure what all the dicing (especially without like, an egg binder to hold it together after it's all fried up?) brings to the table (or the LUNCH table?). A tea sandwich for those who don't like dressing? (Could it be a NAKED lunch, then?). I'll be here all minute.

[@SandwichesofHistory]

Oh, I'm familiar with Toast Hawaii kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHeoZWZnnatrsLM

[@MisterWiza]

you should try the sinners sandwich from deadly premonition

[@edunn2805]

I’d love to see you wearing some short-sleeved shirts for the summer! Maybe even a Hawaiian shirt for a sandwich from Hawaii.

[@kyrastuart1920]

I wonder how it would be with cream cheese in there.

[@retiredarchitect3462]

Maybe the pineapple is supposed to be juicier, and thus binding?

[@melissalambert7615]

Back then it was probably canned not fresh. So, the pineapple would have been juicier.

[@retiredarchitect3462]

@@melissalambert7615 that was my guess too

[@SandwichesofHistory]

Fwiw, I used canned crushed pineapple for this.

[@melissalambert7615]

@@SandwichesofHistory Oh, looked like fresh pineapple.

[@Nashvillain10SE]

Director's cut!

[@voxpanic]

Barry, is there a numerical threshold at which a sandwich would or would not be made again? I ask because some 7s were “make agains” and some were not. Or is it more of a vibe? Maybe just for my own curiosity I’ll crank up the ol’ Excel chart and see if there’s a statistical pattern 📈

[@SandwichesofHistory]

Great question! Sometimes a sandwich is tasty (e.g. a 7) but the complexity of making it shifts it to the "not going to make it again" column as it is too much effort for the payoff.

[@TotallySearch]

Dude should try a Tofu Sandwich, vegan moment

Why did you walk on all menacingly
