The Sandwich Holiday - You have 1 Day but we have 1 Week

Hello Hello food lovers!

I am so banging along with the multitasking in November.

Thanks to @traciyork and her wonderful chart of daily suggestions for Hive Blog Posting Month (aka #HiveBloPoMo) I found out that today November 3rd is ...

wait for it ...

NATIONAL SANDWICH DAY

As live in a world that is NOT joined up, I did a wee bit of digging...

Yes today is National Sandwich Day in the US of A, however, in the traditional home of the sandwich, we in the UK have a British Sandwich Week which this year ran from 22nd-28th May

Funnily enough I did have a sandwich this morning, for me elevenses! Now that is another story in itself.

A bacon butty, that is what I call that. Some call it a bacon roll. You could even call it a bacon bap!

What do you call it?

After I had found out about the American sandwich day I was multitasking again in a meeting with the editorial team of @hiq and @hiq.magazine and asked what the German was for sandwich.

A long debate ensued where I found out that toast can be bread and you can toast that toast to have more toast!

But as for sandwich they don't really say anything directly translatable apart from sandwich or belegtes brot

I did discover that there is a German National Soup Day on November 19th. Winter is coming so that makes sense, no surprise there for our efficient friends from across the North Sea.

Some fun sandwich facts source

  • 1762 The Earl of Sandwich
    John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, names the sandwich after his town in the county of Kent.
  • 2006 What is a Sandwich?
    A court in Boston, Massachusetts rules that a sandwich includes at least two slices of bread, and does not include burritos, tacos, and quesadillas, as they are typically made with a single tortilla.

I did tell you earlier that today seems to be a day of multitasking, so this post is my third post in the #hiveblopomo challenge for November.

And this will form part of my daily podcast for the #napodpomo challenge for November that I am also participating in!

Hello Super Ed!!!
Happy Sandwich day 🥪, which for me could be any day. A Soup day, I can like that one too.
My multitasking friend is going to be exhausted this month, hehe. By the way, I thought of you today because guess what? I was so tired that I had to take a nap, LOL and I rarely do.
Tonight I will listen to today's episode of It Takes Two to Tengo. 😉🌀

That was a rush, with HiQ editorial meeting and their new website proofing, I was late so only just made the podcast, just made tengogaming post, but I made it.

Now back to Super Eli, I saw your burger post by the way, delicious, and I will get there in a minute, once Aureal publishes the podcast I go and edit it to add some words...
You were tired and thought of me, aww how cute I love you too btw and you had a nap hehe was that to keep mummy Eliana company!
And my wee nephew I have to figure his voice when I do his stories, how is he!

Hehe!! you're in demand Super Ed. But I think it's great. I have to make time to check out HiQ, from what I've read about you there, I see you're doing great.

The nap today, I really needed it. Your nephew is well more spoiled than ever. I'm going to see if I can record him these days when he meows and "speaks" hehe.

Okaaaay... National Sandwich Day. I didn't know such day exists. Hehe. Love the Germans! Toast a toast to make more toast! I don't think there's a direct Filipino translation to "sandwich" either. Maybe "sandwits", lol.

What a busy man you are. I've not heard of hiq. I'll try to check that out. And you have a podcast! Omg. Where do you recharge for energy? 😳

Wait, What??? Hahahaha, i have only missed that because to me every day is Intergalactic Sandwich Day forever and ever... 😁


What would i call a bacon bap? Porkies Awesomeness


For the German version of a sandwich you would have to travel from county to county, since there are many dialects for it... TL;DR


Ha, the English and the Americans... always good for a laugh. Like that we needed a costumed clown to tell us what a sandwich is. What would he know about cooking anyway. 😎


Thanks my dear BFAM, this post is awesome...

btw... the spotify link can't be played here in France, to me at least. Gives me an error and i wouldn't subscribe since i'm on twoo many sites already...

may i propose the idea for uploading to soundcloud, the only site i know that listeners are not forced to sign-up to connect to the whole audio files. #justSaying
