Barry Enderwick makes a sandwich every day on video for his YouTube and other social media platforms under the name Sandwiches of History. We've featured him here before. Since he started his daily sandwich project, Enderwick has made more than 700 videos of more than 700 sandwiches, and hasn't had to make one up yet. These sandwiches are all from published or otherwise documented recipes dating back as far as 2,000 years ago. They can be pretty strange, like a 1909 sandwich recipe with popcorn, cayenne pepper, sardines, ketchup and parmesan. In an article at The Guardian, Enderwick explains how his channel got started and makes us hungry with his picks for the five best sandwiches featured so far. That will make you crave a sandwich, but then you can read his list of the five worst sandwiches and lose your appetite. Or you can skip that one. -via Metafilter
A word on the humble tomato sandwich. There's nothing better than a couple slices of fresh tomato between two slices of untoasted white bread with mayo, salt, and pepper. That's it - done. It's so good as is, but like the simple grilled cheese, people want to improve on it and start messing around by changing it up or adding things. Then it becomes something else and no longer what it was intended to be. Just stop messing around and keep it simple.
