@@SandwichesofHistory I think bibs typically go up to the neck, hence why I suggested that. Aprons don't go quite as high up, so there's the nightmare possibility of something falling down on your shirt and some how getting trapped between the apron and your shirt for extra mess
I feel like "just dehydrate the pepper" kinda misses the point. It's easy to get dried chili peppers, and I know Berry frequently uses them as a plus-up. But stable fresh chili isn't as trivial. If freezing has more of the fresh chili flavor contribution, that seems worth it.
Chicken salad works surprisingly well with cranberry. You will never catch me dumping sauce onto a sandwich (too messy to eat). Maybe the soup could be used as a dip.
I've just discovered this channel and I kind of love how no matter how gross the concept is, there's no over-the-top retching and spitting over the sink. It's just "yeah I see what they were going for but it doesn't quite work." It's kind of refreshing.
Apart from deli turkey, there wasn’t really a market for turkey outside of the holidays. No turkey breasts or ground turkey or turkey legs in the grocery store, and definitely no canned turkey. I don’t know if we even have canned turkey now, but we sure didn’t in the 70’s.
@@EastSider48215 That's an entirely fair point. It just seems really odd to lean in so strongly with "Thanksgiving flavors"...but with a protein that really doesn't show up on many menus for that day at all.
@@johnwilliams3075: Yeah, I thought that was a little off. Maybe the original idea was meant to be a riff on a tuna melt, but then it got away from them?
This is the taste of my childhood. I think my Mom might've picked the recipe up from the same place this originated. In our home it was always an open faced kind of situation, and mom used cream of mushroom soup instead and no celery. I'm in my 50's now and still make it every now and then, but usually just for myself…my wife and kids think it's weird. Ahhh the 70's.
Ohhhhhhhhhh as soon as I saw the cranberry sauce, I knew it was gonna be good!! Ok, maybe not great, but good. The coffee shop I worked at years ago sold a sandwich called the California Turkey sandwich, and it was cream cheese, cranberry sauce just like that, and turkey on whole wheat. So good. I make it to this day. Also - I would argue freezing and grating a chile like that is totally different from dehydrating it. Closer to fresh. Yum.
So many of these make me go "Nooooooo," immediately and very often I don't change my opinion. One my great (born 1941) was fond of when I was a child was tomato, miracle-whip, and pepper. Probably a depression era sandwich.
Holy moly what an unusual sandwich with the plus up being fittingly unusual as well, but I do appreciate the ingenuity of utilizing a frozen serrano like that
When the cranberry made it's appearance on the scene, I backtracked to make sure I had heard and seen tuna with my own eyes, and not spicken or spurkey.
I guess one thing I’ve learned by watching your videos, is the seemingly voluminous amount of sandwich recipes, that call for fish or water creatures. I grew up in cattle country, where a sandwich typically was made with meat or fowl. Who knew?😜😜
I don't know if I'm the only one, but I believe that once a sandwich becomes too messy to eat with your hands, it ceases to be a sandwich. When the knife and fork comes out it becomes a hot shot or a casserole. 🤷🤷
This is a "tunified" version of my mom's leftover Thanksgiving sandwich...cold turkey and cold cranberry gel between toast with hot turkey gravy* poured over it. The cold/hot contrast was nice. *my mom's turkey gravy was 50% real homemade gravy and 50% Campbell's cream of chicken soup.
I would have added a piece of cheddar cheese, scrapped the chicken soup mixture, heated it up as directed in toaster oven with toasted bread and THEN added either the cranberry jelly or made some cranberry mixture (works cold or hot but I would go with it cold) on top and I would have loved to have given it "a go". I don't do peppers too much or like heat so that ruins it for me, but I love that you are adventurous with heat as well as unique mixtures from other countries. I love your bravery and willingness to try new things! I used to be that way. Now I am just an old goattess who likes what she likes. LOL
I don't think I fully appreciated the weirdness of this sandwich until you described how the serrano pepper works well with the cranberry and cuts through the soup.
Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup also makes an appearance on the "Edible Glop of History" channel. I suspect it's one of those synchronicities that Sting is always going on about.
As an Australian I was sure the cranberry sauce was pickled beetroot, and I was like hell yes this sandwich is awesome lol. Then the heating up with the celery and the soup on top it took a few turns.
No need for a dehydrator. Peppers will typically dry out nicely, even here in damp Seattle, if you just let them hang out where they can get some air. I buy my peppers at the restaurant supply store in 4 lb packages, and since there’s only me eating them I usually have a fair number left at the end of the week. I alternate letting them dry and fermenting them, as the mood strikes me. The peppers usually ripen as they dry. So my last batch of serranos all turned red. They make a really fiery powder. I also have a batch of jalapeños fermenting ATM. Lacto fermentation is fun and easy. I highly recommend buying too many peppers as a standard practice.
Without the soup I'd probably eat it. Have to use whole berry sauce, of course. Great PU. I'll have to steal that trick. Know someone who freezes whole lemons and grates them into dishes. The whole lemon, not just the peel.
My theory is... it was the 70s. For whatever reason, there's a span of maybe 15 years where there was a big canned tuna push and as such tuna started to appear in a lot of dishes. I don't think this is too far away from the infamous tuna casserole of Welcome Back Kotter fame. If you had two things in your working-class pantry, it was likely a can of Campbell's Soup and a tin of tuna. I suspect that if there was an original recipe out there, it was indeed a chicken salad sandwich. I also suspect that that tuna inclusion recipe may date back to the 60s when Franco-American owned BOTH Campbell's and Bumble Bee Tuna. That kind of grocery store syntergy took off like an Atlas V rocket in the years following WW2. I wager there's a Campbell's cookbook circa 1960 that has this recipe in it.
Was canned chicken a thing in the 70s? I was but a mere child back then but I don't remember it until many years into adulthood. I actually remember being amazed by its existence. That said, Spam and similar canned "meats" existed and it seems like they would still be a better combo with cranberry sauce than tuna.
Why not canned chicken in 1977? Because it really wasn't a thing. Canned, cooked, flaked chicken wasn't readily available until later. I'm not saying it didn't exist. I'm just saying that I think a lot of people didn't even know it existed. That's why.
Keeping peppers in the freezer to grate has gone straight onto my list of kitchen hacks.
Freeze a peach and grate it on some toast with some yogurt or butter. Yum
This recipe is bringing 'throwing together all the random things left in my pantry' energy
Chicken instead of tuna. Wait to put the cranberry slice on after heating. Might be something worth a try.
Grating a frozen serrano pepper onto a sandwich.. Brilliant!
We've been doing the freezer to grater thing for years. Ginger root especially.
Barry needs to get a Sandwiches of History bib for these extra-messy sandwiches. 😂
That’s a very amusing merchandise idea too!
Or I could actually wear the Sandwiches of History apron that is literally hanging behind me in every video 🤦♂️

This is weird, let's try it is my motto tbh. Barry being the bright spark in my day as always

Nice you still make it. Doesn't matter if anyone else get it, you enjoy your taste memory. Mushroom soup might be better.
very generous rating, I don't think I could have swallowed that canned soup / sandwich!
It's a bizarre sandwich, but "not horrific" is my favourite description yet!
@@bostonrailfan2427 change all the ingredients and it'll be great!

Cranberry "sauce" is an affront to all of my senses, but the rest sounds good! Thanks bro.
The way you said “a go” in this one says it all.
Thanksgiving of the Sea. I love tuna and I love a good Thanksgiving sandwich. You lost me at cream of anything. That's a deal breaker.

You are a hero for trying a sandwich like this for the rest of us. The grated pepper was a great addition. Still don't want to try it though 😅

Nope, soup on my toasty sando, just nope. Thanks for taking one for the team, Barry. Better luck next time. ☺️
I'm struggling to find what it's called, but I swear I've seen an Australian(?) thing where they straight up plop a whole sandwich into a bowl of soup
This is "knife and fork on a cold day" food.

that looked kind of hard to get down

I'll take one with out the cranberries please.

Cranberries are my favorite savory sandwich plus up, even more than pickles.
"That must be...the Sinner's Sandwich..."
When this said “berry” I wasn’t expecting a slab of cranberry, but considering the year it came out in it makes sense. 😂
i do put craisins in my tuna salad so i can almost see me liking this? something about the canned cranberry sauce just feels so much worse though
You could cut a slit in the pepper and microwave it till dehydrated.
Old school moist maker right there.
Pregnancy craving sandwich.
i was hoping for a Tuna-Barry Sandwich! (whatever that means)
Made a version with canned chicken and jalapeño jam...its scary good lol
Dang that intro! Nice turn!
Recipe remake with chicken instead o fish??Would it be worth the trouble?
Tuna-berry... I am afraid.
Was expecting a gross sandwich but that doesn’t seem so bad
Dang, I thought I invented the frozen Serrano pepper microplane hack! Oh well…

Oh, they used to sell whole chickens in a can back in the 60s/70s. It is a sight to behold when it comes out of the can lol
It’s a little basic, but maybe try a Gerber sandwich from St Louis
I've been wanting to but don't want to buy a 2 lb block of the cheese it calls for (which isn't sold here)
Anyone else shocked Barry didn't puke?
Oh Barry... Oh no...
Make that tuna caperberry and we'll talk 😉

I’d rather use whole cranberries
I think the Barry Tuna sandwich would have been better...
Can you do a five course sandwich it’s from the 20s and a huge fan of you
My great grandmother use to make all the time
Thank you
Chicken of the sea
What an odd sandwich
What us George Washingtons favorite sandwich?
Video, because I am a monster. Lol!
Yay! First time being first on comments. Been loving the videos, keep up the great, consistent work!
Thank you!
Use turkey meat instead I think.
Did they even have tinned chicken in the 70's?
Just... why tuna? Turkey is right there
... rosemary... nope, a frozen serrano pepper!
that does not look like a winning sandwich recipe to me
Not tuna-Barry?😂
Hey, don't pin this on me! lol
I think turkey would have worked. But no, they couldn't go with turkey. Tuna instead. Yuck.
