  • Quick programming note: I am super slammed with my day job. So much so that in this video, I plus up the sandwich with an ingredient already in the sandwich because the book said to garnish with it. It was good but come on, bro 🤦‍♂️ Was planning on re-recording but ya know, slammed. Anyway, hope you still enjoy and go a little bit was on my in comments 🙏 Ok, back to our regularly schedule description. Our first foray into Salads, Sandwiches, and Chafing Dish Recipes of 1916 yielded the odd combo of peanut and sardines in the Virginia Sandwich. Like that sandwich, this one also has a mysterious name seemingly not tied to the sandwich ingredient. But while the combo of ingredients aren’t odd this time, the way it is put together is.

    I would guess that Carmen was most associated with the famous french opera, in the zeitgeist of 1916. Carmen was a saucy Roma woman in 1800's spain, which is famed for it's ham. And much like anyone who eats butter + mayonnaise + cream cheese sandwhiches, Carmen also met an untimely demise

    Carmen was a beautiful enchantress. But more importantly, the "protagonist" of the opera ruined his own life through jealousy and indulgence. The message of the play is that while Carmen may be superficial, it is actually our own response to the games people play that truly matters. With enough indiscretions, it is us and our own bitterness that can drive us to become our own worst villian.
    Its a pretty sandwich, and way too rich. So it is probably after the opera lol.
    Fortunately, not much villainy going on! Always good!

      Literally means "sandwich cake" and it's pretty much what it sounds like: a cake but everything's swapped out for sandwichy equivalents. Bread instead of sponge, mayo/cream cheese instead of cream, ham/cheese/eggs/shrimp/veggies/etc. instead of the... everything else
      I think it's a banger but it's probably an acquired taste to have y'know, cake texture with savoury flavours, and exactly like the reaction in this video, it is (quite literally) _drenched_ in mayo/cream cheese/creme fraiche

    I know there were two smash hit Carmen films released in 1915, one directed by Cecil B DeMille and one by Raoul Walsh, plus Charlie Chaplin made his Burlesque on Carmen. Movie tie-in recipes were quite popular at the time.

    Can you just plus it up by assembling the ingredients as a sensible sandwich? Bread, butter, green onion, ham, tomato(salt and pepper as we are not savages), cream cheese, mayo, bread?

    Loving this channel! -- great work you're turning out. O/T: I'd suggest trying a little fresh mint and and Famous Dave's Sweet'n'Spicy pickles on anything you think is salvageable for plussing, and/or Durkee Famous Sauce from NJ. Maybe I haven't found 'em yet in all those videos, but they sure have saved some dullsville sandwiches for me.

    I looked up "Carmen peppers". They're a thin-skinned Italian sweet pepper. Carmen peppers come into season during late summer and hang around through fall. They are a thin-skinned Italian sweet pepper. I'm not sure if that has ANYTHING to do with the name "Carmen sandwich", especially because the recipe doesn't mention peppers at all.

    Is the top meant to be a hat for a woman, maybe? As someone else noted, Carmen Miranda would've been like 7 years old when this book was published....so that ain't the Carmen this sandwich is looking for. The mystery continues I suppose. That is a bit of an odd recipe though.
