INTRODUCTION

Sandwiches are one of the most versatile foods prepared around the world. They usually consist of one or two slices of bread with a filling of meat, chicken, fish, cheese, vegetables, or other ingredients. Bread comes in a variety of shapes and sizes and an almost limitless variety of fillings. As a result, sandwiches are served in various ways depending on their intended use.

Sandwiches are accompanied by wafers, chiffonade (shredded) lettuce, watercress, juliennes of cabbage, or carrots. Sandwiches are made with white bread, brown breads, French loaf, bread rolls, or boat-shaped breads.

Types of Sandwiches

1. Simple Sandwich

2. Open Sandwich

Examples Of Sandwiches:

 Sandwich Cake: - These looks like ice layered cakes, and they're made with round bread loaves. Soft icing with butter, cheese, and other ingredients is sliced in two or three round slices. Like cakes, it's cut into wedges.

 Loaf: - The loaf bread is sliced lengthwise, then filled and iced in layers to make a loaf sandwich. It's served by slicing it across the bread.

 Pinwheel: - The bread is sliced lengthwise to make a pinwheel sandwich. Butter and a soft filling of contrasting colour spread evenly on the bread.

 Ribbon: They are made with two different coloured breads. Two slices of brown bread and one slice of white bread, or the other way around. Three slices of bread are used to make the sandwiches, with two different coloured fillings. They're served cut into thin strips.

 Double Decker: As the name implies, three slices are used, with the first slice containing the filling and the second slice containing the butter. The third slice is topped with lettuce, tomato, and cucumber before serving.

 Bookmaker: A grilled steak is sandwiched between a buttered roll or French bread spread with French mustard.

 Broadway: This sandwich comprises two layers of toast, smoked salmon, shredded lettuce, and sliced hardboiled egg. It's accompanied by mayonnaise.

 Tea Sandwiches are made with thin slices of bread with the crust removed and any fillings cut into triangles.

 Grilled Sandwich: To make this sandwich, fill two slices of bread with fillings, then grill them on a salamander or griller. They're served steaming.

 Canapés are small bites of food with a savoury flavour. They can be served either warm or cold.

 Zakuski: These are canapés made with traditional fillings, such as smoked fish on toast with aspic jelly.

Parts Of Sandwich:

 BASE: In sandwiches, the base comprises bread, loafs, and other similar items.

 Spreads are greasy and flavoured butter or emulsifying agents like mayonnaise or hollandaise sauce used to bind the ingredients together.

 Fillings: To give the sandwiches a distinct flavour, fillings such as vegetables, meat chunks, or fruits can be used.

 Dressings: Many different types of dressings can be used to make sandwiches, but the most common are mayonnaise, tomato sauce, hollandaise, and vinaigrette. The dressing is mixed in with the fillings and can also be served alongside the dishes.
