    In James Beards' cookbook and autobiography, Delights and Prejudices, he uses sweet onions for this recipe, and the insides spread with sweet butterr. These were served at cocktail parties by his catering company. They were a big thing in the 1950's. Try again using a sweet onion if available in Korea.

    It tastes like "Summer" and filled with nostalgia. Over 5 decades ago my grandmother made these for me as a kid in Eastern Europe. Even the green edge, but because we couldn't waste precious food there were no "round" shenanigans, just trimmed crusts. 😢😍

    Jacque Pepin is the man, his onion sandwich is a great Video. I have watched it too. On a side note, Jacque Pepin was always on PBS on KCET (create) in my 20's when I lived in Los Angeles. They also played classical music in the evenings. The rare good use of government funds.

    it's a tea sandwich, so yeah, I've seen lots of them (and this one is fantastic). cute little cut-out sandwiches rolled in herbs are super-nice. I like sweet onions for this particular one and chives are extra-good, but there's nothing wrong with parsley! Jacques Pepin is the man.

    Sandwiches don't need to have cold cuts/meats all the time. A little veggie/fruit sandwich with mayo hits from time to time. Tomato and Onion is my favorite mix. I do dab in the occasional cucumber with pickle. You just gotta find the right mix that suits your palette. Pretty good as a thrifty struggle meal in those college days, too.

    My grandmother used to make these back in the 80s. I'm almost certain she used the Pepin method but she also sliced them into smaller bits and the mayo and butter did a lot of the heavy lifting taste-wise. I know I'm tasting nostalgia but they were great when she would use yellow onions and mayo (though, Kewpie probably hits better) and she'd use soft butter around the sides to line the sandwich with parsley. I hated onions back then when I was a kid, but I would devour those things whenever she made them.

    I recommend everyone try to do delicious things with crusts when they cut them. Fry in butter and dip in roasted garlic or spaghetti sauce with lots of melted cheese, dip in hot butter then slather on some jelly. Tons of ways to use it!

    I have made these, and they are surprisingly good. Just let the leftover bread dry out for a day or two on your countertop, then run it over a box grater... free bread crumbs. You should try cucumber sandwich. Another old school artifact that is way better than you would think.
