Two pieces of bread joined together with a filling in between is a sandwich. But did you know that as sandwiches go, there are different types of them?
Any food and catering services in Connecticut knows that you cannot just eat and make sandwiches and not specify which one. Here’s a list of the different types of sandwiches:
- Open or Open-faced
Open sandwiches use one bread and put the filling on top. This type is similar to canapes or the French hors d’oeuvre. - Plain
Perhaps the most common type among all is the plain sandwich. It is made with two slices of bread. Mayonnaise, peanut butter, jelly, or other spreads can be used as a lining to prevent the bread from getting soggy and add flavor to it. Its crust can be removed depending on your preference. - Pinwheel
As the name goes, pinwheel sandwiches are made from fresh bread, which is cut lengthwise and flattened using a rolling pin. Its spread can be softened butter or margarine and other smooth fillings like cream cheese, marmalades, and jams. The bread is then rolled and chilled. - Closed Tea
These sandwiches are made ahead of time and frozen. They can be removed from the freezer three hours before serving. - Ribbon
To create this type, you would need to layer the bread, spread, meat, cheese, and another layer of bread to create multi-tier food magic. Its crust can be removed to create that clean, sleek look.
