The Bun Burger

This is the most famous sandwich, though not many realise it. Most people do not come to the conclusion that the humble burger is a sandwich but it can be classified as one because it has a filling between two pieces of bread. Burgers are sold widely across the face of the Earth in many fast food joints and restaurants. Some Irish restaurants have recently started to sell a 100% Irish beef burger.

The average burger consists of gherkins, lettuce, tomato ketchup, along with the beef and the bun. Other popular burger ingredients include cheese, relish, jalapeños, peppers, red onion marmalade, onions, mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, sweet corn, olive tapenade, sundried tomato pesto. For non-meat eaters, there is the vegetarian option – the veggie burger. The same ingredients are possible in a veggie burger, bar all meat products which are replaced by fresh and roasted vegetables.

The normal average burger is one tier, but can range up to six tiers depending on a person’s hunger levels. My favourite burger of all time is homemade on a barbecue. The advantage of a homemade burger is that I can choose all the ingredients and the quantity that I like.

Sandwiches are a good way of getting food quickly. They are very handy to make, they keep you going, they’re healthy and they taste terribly nice. They are the handiest snack and the most common lunch. So you wouldn’t think they’re fancy and served in restaurants… think again! Here are a variety of sandwiches sold in restaurants:

B. L. T. the classic sandwich – that tastes so good. A delicious mixture of crispy bacon, shredded lettuce and hand vine-picked tomatoes.

Seafood sandwich – a variety of fish and shellfish e.g. smoked salmon, shrimps, crab, prawns on a bed of crispy lettuce and Marie Rose sauce on a lightly malted linseed bread.

Steak sandwich – for those muscly men. Medallions of quality assured Irish beef, traced to source, oozing blood, slapped down on a hunk of home baked bread – only the most hard core young males can handle these extreme sandwiches! This sandwich is truly second to none.

Panini – the Prince of sandwiches. Made with ciabatta bread, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, due to authentic European grilling methods. A variety of fillings, a firm favourite is the finest salami, sun dried tomatoes, mayonnaise and a topping of melted Emmentaal cheese.

Just to say, the pictures on this blog are from google images and the video is from google videos.

How to make the Ultimate sandwich.
The first thing to do is choose your type of bread. Most people choose sliced pan. Personally I think sliced pan is full of to many different chemicals used to preserve it and it doesn't taste nice. My first choice of bread would have to be home-made. Before you make it, you can choose what type of bread it is (obviously), so you can have your favourite bread in your Ultimate Sandwich. Next is the type of spread/condiment that you use. Some people use butter, but my preference would have to be mayonnaise. Next you choose your meat, people choose a variety of different meats including salami, ham, tuna, chicken, bacon or sausages. Next you choose your salad. You could have lettece, olives, tomatos, onions or any other vegtables you can think of! Then you can choose if theres another sort of topping like sundried tomato pesto or red onion marmelade... There is also the option of how big your sandwich is. this depends on how hungry you are feeling! you can have a normal sandwich or you can have five teirs... whichever you want! Personaly my favorite is a simple sanwich. I find if you add too many ingredients it gets complicated and all the bursts of flavour merge into one.

Different types of bread.

Bread is the main ingredient to a sandwhich. No bread, no sandwhich. It would be like having a guitar with no strings... pointless! The most common bread used in ireland is slice pan. Closely followed by soda bread. When using slice pan in your sandwich, my vast experience in these matters tells its best to very lightly toast each slice of bread to the point that it is crispy but not at all brown. This way, when you pick up your sandwich to munch on, it won't flop down and spill its insides all over the place. But I do not like Using slice pan for sanwiches. Slice pan is full of nasty preservetives to make the bread appear fresh when actually its five days old and theres mould growing on the other side of it!

I find the best, healthiest most flavoursome bread to use is always home-made. Theres nothing like steaming bread just out of the oven with butter melting slowly on top...yumy! When you mak your own bread you can decide wat type of bread it is, whether it is spelt bread or sour dough bread or naan bread or ciabatta bread or facachio bread or soda bread or just plain normal white bread. you can also have some fun choosing how you present the bread, whether you maske a plated loaf or make roles or just have a normal loaf. So i challenge you, next time you feel like making a sandwich, instead of using boring old slice pan make own bread of your choice! Have a ball! Knock yourself out!

There are different plants and animals that grow or live in different climates. The people living in these climates have their own food sources eg.in Europe we have cows, pigs vegetables...;in Africa they have giraffe and buffalo and other such animals! People make their food and sandwiches out of what is available to them. So a European lunch, diner or breakfast would be very different to a South American lunch, diner or breakfast. but the food in Spain would be very different to the food here in Ireland. Also there sandwichs would be very different!
A typical Irish sandwich would consist of either jam and butter or ham with a sprinkeling of cheese with mayonaise or some other such condament oozing out the side.116 In Australia you might find something mad like a kangaroo or koala bear sandwhich. In France you might find something slimey like frogs legs, snails, pate veil or liver...! Also different vegetables are used in different countries. In Ireland people put all different types of vegetables in their sandwhiches eg. letace, sweatcorn, beetroot onions and pickled gurkens. Spanish people might put peppars in New Zealand if you where a bit mad you might even put a yam in your sandwhich.
