13 Sandwiches from all over the World

How many sandwiches from around the world do we actually know? Some have international reputations, like the panini or the croque monsieur. Some are definitely worth getting to know better, such as the choripán or the Gatsby. All of them have great stories to tell.

Made with flatbread or from sliced loaves; white or whole grain; wheat, corn, or rice flour; triangular, square or round; puffy or crusty; hot or cold; filled with meat, fish or vegetables; topped with butter, mayo or other sauces… there is a sandwich for every taste. For some people, sandwiches are the basis of their daily diet. For others they are reserved for eating out during work or school, at picnics or while traveling. As international cultural exchanges gets richer, our landscape of world sandwiches expands a bit more every day.

In this video you will discover a little series of 13 sandwiches from all around the world:

The Chicken-Avocado-Aioli from Australia.
The Gatsby Sandwich from South Africa.
The Cucumber Sandwich from Great Britain.
The Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich from North America.
The Danish Smorrebrod.
The Italian Panini.
The French Croque Monsieur.
The Turkish (or German) Döner Kebap.
The Vietnamese Banh Mi Sandwich.
The American Sloppy Joe.
The South American Choripan.
The Polish Zapiekanka.
The Toast Hawai from Germany.

Naturally there are a lot more sandwiches in these countries and all over the world. We like all kind of sandwiches and we would have loved to talk about the Katsu Sando from Japan, the Huco from Guatemala, the Vada Pav from India or the Mexican Cemita… But it might be for a next video!

I'm fairly sure about 6 people in England eat cucumber sandwiches, and about 6, 000 eat chip butties and/or ploughman's

You've got the cucumber sandwich as UK and technically yes - but I wouldn't try and feed one to a Scotsman unless you want to learn new words to express your contempt :)

I'm glad my keyboard is waterproof. With all the drooling and stuff.

Im wearing headphones... and this music is really freaking me out.
But in a good way.

Us Brits do eat cucumber sandwiches. I'm not sure why so many are saying we don't. I've been to so many events where small cucumber sandwiches cut into triangles are served.

you know that in Italian"panini" means "sandwiches" (yep, that's plural), right? Like two pieces of bread with something in the middle? I would call that a caprese sandwhich or panino alla caprese, caprese being the combination of fresh mozzarella and tomato.
other than that...I'm hungry.

Roti-John from Singapore. If you can find anyone who does that. Try it.

Good video, but you forgot about the bocadillo con pan tomate y jamon from Spain ;) one of the best ones in the world!

[bandt]

you add ham to zapiekanka from Poland too :) but its pretty accurate :) the one with only mushrooms and cheese only is from...80s and 90s if I remember right :)

Great video. What song is playing throughout the video?

[radbot]

As a British person, I've never seen anyone eat a plain ass cucumber sandwich like that.

Where is the Portuguese Francesinha?? 
It was considered by Aol Travel, an American megasite on tourist and leisure destinations, one of the 10 best sandwiches in the world. as well as the 'site' British "The Culture Trip" and by the prestigious Spanish magazine trips "Conde Nest Traveller".
