My idea of a lettuce sandwich would be a good amount of shredded lettuce on bread with mayonnaise , salt & pepper. Both white & black pepper maybe even some pink salt.
I was tempted to say that maybe the butter was supposed to be melted so the mayo would have been more like a hollandaise, but then I thought about what a peanut butter, hollandaise, and lettuce sandwich would taste like and it sounded even worse than this. This could be the first sandwich you've done where the way to plus it up is to *remove* ingredients ...
The quick cut away to the kitchen at 0:10 explaining the horrifying mayonnaise dressing is one of the best laughs I've had. You KNOW its not about to be a Lettuce Sandwich lol
I ate so many lettuce and mayonnaise sandwiches as a kid. Iceberg lettuce, mayo, white toast. That’s it. When we had some, I got a slice of ham on them. 🎉
My lettuce sandwich consist of two slices of white bread, a 2 inch slice of iceberg lettuce and some salt and pepper… I lived on that for five years between the age of 13 and 18. That and frozen hotdogs.
@@DeborahMaufer this was a basic grab and go sandwich so nothing that could drip off of it or fall out of it. The hot dogs were a side dish. A hotdog and one hand and a lettuce sandwich in the other hand as I hit the door My mother always bought hot dogs when they were on sale and froze them.... We were poor, so there wasn't much food around
😮don't take this wrong, but honestly that menu sounds like you might be "on the spectrum"... I have a couple friends who are, and their food choices are quite similar. But ye, poor works too... sometimes you have to take what you can get.
I have a tomato sandwich that I think you will love. The trick is to use perfectly ripe tomatoes and homemade mayonnaise. I use regular Roma tomatoes from Kroger that have ripened on my counter top for 4-5 days then they go into the refrigerator to chill. I use salt, fresh ground black pepper, mayonnaise, bread and that’s it. Homemade bread helps. So, if you make that, using your plullman loaf pan, you will be in great shape. This is a sandwich from history because I made one two weeks ago. If you want my homemade mayonnaise recipe, let me know.
This was one of the most hilarious sandwiches of history reviews ever! Toasted peanut butter and lettuce is a tasty number, though. Jack Kerouac was fond of the sandwich and mentions it in Lonesome Traveler and Visions of Cody.
Here's a recipe that my uncle makes quite a bit. Peanut butter and red onions. I think he puts Miracle Whip on it which is like overly sweet mayonnaise to me
My guess is the "lump" of butter refers to softened butter. While they did have ice boxes by this point that were quite popular I assume the recipe was written with soft salted butter in mind.
@@SandwichesofHistory Maybe whoever wrote came up with this sandwich lived in Arizona like me. Our "room temperature butter" is pretty much a liquid for most of the year. But I think probably they were just not very good at writing instructions.
@@SandwichesofHistory ב''ה, this one is hilarious and anyone who's ever tried to follow a recipe knows.. but as the top few dozen comments haven't said it, I wonder if the combination of smaller, warmer eggs back in the day plus the enthusiasm to whip them into an actual merengue might have done something here. The mechanical geared eggbeaters existed then (hand driven) and I still can't see it being worth the trouble what with modern stringy whites that don't belong in mayo, the food safety concerns currently if bird flu is going around.. but maybe a farm fresh egg and 15 minutes with a beater would look like something, something not necessarily better enough to actually attempt (though if I ever get my own kitchen again I'll try this one for you).
It looks like you made coleslaw dressing - mayo, vinegar, and sugar. Were your eggs and butter at room temp? We leave a stick of butter for cooking and sandwiches out of the fridge and it gets very soft when it's about 70 F in the house. 120 years ago we weren't really refrigerating eggs like we do now. Those things would change the consistency of the mayo dressing. It still sounds like a gruesome sandwich but the mayo concoction might have turned out better with room temp ingredients.
That mayonnaise dressing should have been beaten a lot more. You are right that cooks at the time would have understood that the eggs would be beaten until fluffy, and the butter incorporated gradually to make a smooth, if pretty runny, dressing. But mayo issues aside, PBLs are my very favorite sandwich. Loved ‘em when I was a child, love ‘em now just as much, and loved ‘em for all those man decades in between. Yum! (I put a lot more lettuce on mine - like about 4-5 times as much as you had. And I like iceberg because it’s so crisp and mild that the peanut butter really shines.)
Lettuce Sandwich!! This vegan got SO excited!! 😜 When I was growing up the only lettuce that was “lettuce” was iceberg lettuce, crunchy water. You grow up, you go to big citay market-you branch out. I still like crunchy water to eat but cut calories.
Doris Roberts did a movie where she played a grandmother that lived with two friends. Her grandson moved in with her. She found her grandsons stash, did not know what it was and they made tea. Her grandson had a party that night and stoned granny comes out of the kitchen with a platter of ice cream sandwiches. Vanilla ice cream on whole wheat bread with lettuce!
You are a brave man. Problem here might be old cookbooks often assume you know to heat something. Think the assumption here is to have put the egg/butter mix over a water bath. Plus up for this (V2) would be lettuce!
Well, definitely more cohesive. Wouldn't solve the dilemma of this being a Lettuce Sandwich yet having peanut butter and Miracle Whip be the dominant flavors.
I've never tried making mayonnaise with melted butter instead of oil... would you need to clarify the butter first, for it to emulsify? Maybe I should google this instead of talking to myself in youtube comments? Haha ;)
The dressing recipe is pretty close to some old-fashioned "cooked mayonnaise" recipes where they'd basically temper eggs, butter, vinegar, sugar and flour on the stove to approximate mayonnaise, wonder if that is what the recipe was going for?
Take 2. Still no. Peanut butter? Was this recipe written by ChatGPT? "Im sorry, I should have told you to melt the butter before adding and emulsify. Also, Samuel Josephine Jefferson Baker was not the second president of the United States."
This reminds me of when BrutalMoose did a video on making gross recipes from the 1970s and mayo and banana's were part of some recipe with lettuce. I dont know why but man. . . people kept trying to combine mayo with random stuff until they realized that if you do that you are just a weirdo
I love marmite and lettuce! Also, marmite, peanut butter, and lettuce on a nice whole-grain bread. I don’t know how you wife made it, but all it needs is that whisper of marmite - like maybe a teaspoon at most. But marmite on hot buttered toast is even better.
@@EastSider48215 Marmite on toast with lashings of butter, is perfect.. She also made me a cheese and pickle (branston) sandwich, but forgot to put the cheese in. It was very disappointing.
Sir, the answer to your problems is----Soups of History. You start the soup, make the sandwich as it GOES, make the sandwich video, make the soup video, and do the COMBBOOOO plus up.
Wonder how many of these bad sandwiches are the result of misprints & or typos in the bookmaking process? Seem my share of those in some cookbooks i've experimented with.
I assume most kitchens had a hand crank egg beater in 1900 and it was common sense to make sauces with that but this recipe is a crime. Peanut butter and mayo, why???
😢....to me, beaten eggs means more like beaten until... something!! To me, just stirring them with a fork is not beating them up. But either way, this sandwich sounds like a disappointment at best and a health hazard at the worst.

I actually made an audible "ugh" noise when I saw that so-called mayo.
Feeling real good about my egg allergy today.
Go for it, dude.
@@KeiFlox you win the comment. Love it
Your commitment to the bit is commendable, if not sometimes horrific.
My idea of a lettuce sandwich would be a good amount of shredded lettuce on bread with mayonnaise , salt & pepper. Both white & black pepper maybe even some pink salt.
That’s how I make a lettuce sandwich, too. Sometimes I even add a schmear of honey mustard.
That's exactly how I eat a lettuce sandwich.
Ugh. My stomach turned just by looking at that "mayo."
I was tempted to say that maybe the butter was supposed to be melted so the mayo would have been more like a hollandaise, but then I thought about what a peanut butter, hollandaise, and lettuce sandwich would taste like and it sounded even worse than this.

He’s definitely done that before, I can’t remember the exact video but I think he took out canned asparagus to plus something up and it worked

That was the most labored "a go" I've heard on this channel.
I really could have seen that one as a "put lettuce on bread"
That would have been preferable. Boring, but not nausea-inducing!
i love this channel so much. keep at it, bud!

I’d use regular mayonnaise and a slice of apple and a thin slice of onion before adding the lettuce.
Here's a recipe that my uncle makes quite a bit. Peanut butter and red onions. I think he puts Miracle Whip on it which is like overly sweet mayonnaise to me
Pickled red onion on peanut butter is killer.
I feel badly that people didn’t think sandwich making all the way through in 1900.
You definitely took a hit for the team with that one.
That initial mayo looked like what all my kids did on my shoulder when I burped them as infants.
My guess is the "lump" of butter refers to softened butter. While they did have ice boxes by this point that were quite popular I assume the recipe was written with soft salted butter in mind.

Sounded more like a hollandaise than a mayonnaise
i love the unit of measurement for the butter
I’ve seen that a lot in old recipes for butter. Funny.
My dad said when he was young (51-61) they often had mayo and peanut butter sandwiches lol
I've done that. It is actually pretty good. The mayonnaise just provides a bit of richness (unless you use a strongly flavored one)
I remember my mom telling me having lettuce sandwich , durring ww2.
Crazy, crazy sandwiches 🥪 I ❤️
Is this the first zero sandwich? Usually they at least get a one for "some nutritional value"
I love peanut butter, mayo and lettuce.
Toss it in the Bin!
Being from the south, dukes mayo and jiff peanut butter sandwiches are a staple...never thought to add a bit of lettuce...that will be my plus up!
You are a brave man. Problem here might be old cookbooks often assume you know to heat something. Think the assumption here is to have put the egg/butter mix over a water bath. Plus up for this (V2) would be lettuce!
"I know just how to plus up this sandwich.
*drops it in the trashc-* Oh okay
What were they smoking in the year 1900
The mayonnaise with sugar and vinegar kind of sounds like a proto-Miracle Whip. Would that have been any better?
Well, definitely more cohesive. Wouldn't solve the dilemma of this being a Lettuce Sandwich yet having peanut butter and Miracle Whip be the dominant flavors.
Maybe they meant beat with a whisk? For an hour
Try it and report back lol
@@SandwichesofHistory I don’t have a whisk, I’ll just use my fingers like a buffoon Neanderthal
Thank you for showing the instructions. Even seeing where they put the commas in the sentence was weird.
Thats the least enthusiastic "Lets give this a go" I've ever heard. 😂
🤢 I could hear your gag reflex fluttering even before the 1st bite. You brave soul. 😂😂❤
I would do this but using Kewpie mayonnaise (it's tangier, and I think it might go very well). In fact, I PLAN on doing it this week! Thanks!!!!
not even gold leaf could improve this one, I'd wager
Nice green feast for 4/20.
Hmmm... do we have the year's #1 sandwich followed by the worst?
Beat up two eggs? Thug!

There was a comma in there. Two separate ingredients: 1. Lump of butter, 2. Size of a walnut
Take 2. Still no.
Peanut butter? Was this recipe written by ChatGPT?
"Im sorry, I should have told you to melt the butter before adding and emulsify. Also, Samuel Josephine Jefferson Baker was not the second president of the United States."

I think some sriracha or chili crunch may have helped, but there isn’t much helping that sandwich lol

Follow up with some Listerine.

no X 2
