Ham and Currant Jelly Sandwich (1917) on Sandwiches of History

Every once in a while I come across a sandwich recipe that could best be described as shooting fish in a barrel. In other words, an easy win. The Ham and Currant Jelly Sandwich from “Salads and Sandwiches” is one of those recipe. It does have an interesting spice addition that, while a little surprising, works really well too.

oooh, I love currant jelly!! it's the best on a pb&j. I bet this sandwich would be delish plus'd up with brie cheese or cowboy candy too!

[Origamidude]

Those panning camera bits in the beginnings of your vids have been a funny, welcome addition! Yeah, hard to go wrong pairing pork with sweet, the cheese was a great idea that complements the marriage of those ingredients quite well 👍

[David_Kyte]

Ham and fruit, and sandwiches with sweet and savory, are both underappreciated. Are you surprised, Barry, that a Monte Cristo is my favorite sandwich?

[Dephire]

It's crazy how currants used to be illegal in the USA! They're so good!

now I can't stop thinking when I am trying some new food .."LET'S GIVE THIS X food... A GO B-) " haha :D

[davescookingchannel]

Honestly, it looks delicious. Definitely one of the less surprising ones 😂

[saraschneider]

YAAAS. You plussed it up exactly the way I wanted you to. Cowboy candy would have been another great addition.

This is now my favorite channel on YouTube. The only thing I don’t like about it is that I didn’t think of it first. You’re awesome Barry! Looking forward to the book!!!

[HanktheFrank]

Hot Ham and Swiss is undoubtedly the best flavor combination!!

[jacobuponthestone]

Hah. I love this channel. Let's give this life thing. Today. A go. Hey but I think I can plus it up a little.

[CarlosRodriguez-ddsb]

Looks like a winner!! Pls make a Gerber Sammich!

Hey Barry! I have a currant jelly recommendation for you: Tiptree/Wilkin & Sons Cumberland Sauce. Red currant, port, citrus, and spices. It's like a prepared cranberry sauce. Sweet, tangy, with the warmth of mincemeat spices.

[bmolitor]

I can't plus that up, it's perfect... but toasty cheese is nice!

[GhostManBrandonDDpre]

Nice. Now you are making me want to experiment with red and black current jellies and maybe even a softer, creamier, ripe cheese. I'll end up eating a whole pig and a 12 month jam calendar. Quince and Camembert can't be far off.

[brandon_cox]

Y'know what? I'm about to look up how to make my own ham. I have a chest freezer full of pork shoulder that needs a purpose.

[danielmckeon]

Brie would also be a good plus up for that combo.

The video/book says 1927 but the title says 1917?
