It's got to be ham and cheese. No matter where you go, usually two out the three will be excellent, so a good sandwich is easily available
France - Amazing bread, amazing cheese, good ham
Spain - Crap bread, reasonable cheese, world class ham
UK - crap bread, world class cheese, good ham
Germany - world class bread, good cheese, amazing ham
America - bread that has to be called cake in other countries because of the sugar content, homogenised dairy product, and chlorine-washed minced pork-amalgam
Ah shit it was going so well
I suspect this will be a controversial comment
Ahem. That chlorine-washed minced amalgam has a name.
…and it comes in a can. Does your amalgam come in a can?
I did see spam once in 1987
But have you enjoyed the culinary delicacy that is TREET?
E: Albeit, I’d be lying if I didn’t suggest that you hold out for our true hero here in the states:
America definitely has good bread and cheese, it's just that the worst instances of each are particularly terrible
Their regular supermarket bread is way, way too sweet for me, but there are decent bakeries still
Doesn’t help that those low-quality ingredients are the ones that line the freedom section in foreign supermarkets fueling the stereotype… not that it isn’t a warranted stereotype since this is what they feed the folks in public schools
The great bakeries are going out of business because everyone shops at Walmart.
If you're paying for crap supplies, you get crap sandwiches
