there you go, cucumber sandwiches, they're as "meh" as they sound. It's basically just a sneaky way to justify eating salad cream.

>>8654547
a nice cool treat for a summer day

>>8654558
what in the ever loving hell is salad cream?

A delicious treat that's fun to eat.

>>8654558
Proper one is just salt, cucumber and butter on a very delicate bread.

>>8654816
It's a sandwich spread. It's like the British equivalent of Miracle Whip; almost mayonnaise, but not quite.

>>8654823
Nope.

Anyone who says this is lying to help hide the secret truth, cucumber sandwiches are literally just a vehicle for consuming salad cream in large quantities.

>>8654823

You forgot vinegar

>>8654840
Salad cream is a WWII meme, it's there it give tang an intentionally 'bland' food.

OP the point of the cucumber sandwich is to provide a 'cheap' filling food that doesn't overwhelm the palate to eat along side your 'worth more then gold let me show you how rich I am by sharing my tea' tea.

>>8654547
white bread rolled thin
peeled english cucumber, cut into thin slices & salted for 10-20 min before sandwich prep
unsalted butter (if you wanna be fancy mix w/ herbs)

Honestly it's just a refreshing snack that won't spoil your appetite for dinner. God mode if made right. Also try watercress/radish instead of cucumbers

>>8654823
>delicate bread

You pretentious cunts. The only thing delicate about you britbongs is how obsequiously you gave away an empire.

>>8654822
what the hell

>>8654841

A bit of marmite really jazzes it up too.

>>8654982
>>8654982
Why not mix in broken glass too since we're apparently now set on trying to ruin perfectly good food.

>>8654990

I'll grant that simplicity is generally better, but a cucumber sandwich without marmite is tragically naked to me.

>>8655006
With opinions like that I can't help but find your face is tragically naked without my fist lodged firmly against it.

>>8655022

Careful you don't get any marmite on your hand. I'll be sure to have consumed some pre-facefisting.

>>8654981
That was my reaction too o.O haha.

>>8654981
Just another one of the horrible things leaking into our world from the Bowling Green Massacre timeline.

This is all /pol/'s fault for awakening Kek.

Cucumber sandwiches are actually delightfully refreshing.
My company caters lunch a lot and theres always a huge fucking plate of those things, eat them like candy. I feel so fully yet light.

Cucumber sandwiches once sunk my boat.

Ishmael pls

>>8654547
Cucumber sandwiches are one of the essential basic sandwiches, right up there with summer ripe tomato sandwiches and watercress sandwiches. For that matter, cucumber sandwiches are also better when the cucumbers are summer ripe.
>good, white bread (I like a sourdough myself), crusts cut off if you want to be proper, but I don't always bother with that.
>some people just use butter on the bread, I like using cream cheese, and some people use mayo or salad cream. Of all those, like I said, I prefer a light layer of cream cheese, and my other choice would be butter. I'd skip the mayo or salad cream.
>thinly sliced cucumber, lightly dressed with salt at least 30 minutes before using. This allows any bitterness to leave the cucumber. If you are using seedless (english) cucumber or persian cucumbers, you don't have to peel and seed them. If you are using regular garden cucumbers, peel and seed them.
>spread softened cream cheese or salted butter on your bread, add sliced cucumber, and top with another piece of bread that has been spread.
>cut into sticks or triangles
>eat with good tea.

It's a summertime staple lunch or afternoon tea snack, and a delicious way to eat fresh vegetables.

nice little snack to have with your tea

It's like you hate life.

>>8654981
Well its like your sour cream that you put on nachos except its more sour.

You know it might have mayo in it, I'm not sure.

>I cant eat sandwiches without bacon and melted cheese general

Also, put some prawn cocktail in that sandwich and you got a top tier afternoon tea sandwich

They suck.

Fuck that shit. Here is the thinking man's cucumber sandwich.

Honestly if done right they are pretty damn good, much better than I was expecting when I made them the first time.

The trick is good butter, the cultured stuff if you can get it.

Basically butter both slices, line with cucumber, salt and pepper, salt flakes if you have em.

>>8654547
Cucumber sammiches with mayo and jam are GOAT

>>8656592
Can confirm

>>8654547
I like them, mayo, salt , pepper, cuke.
or cream cheese instead of mayo.

>>8655022

Was literally eaten purely for status; cucumbers were rare as fuck and aristocrats needed everybody know they were loaded.

>>8654547

Cucumber with cream cheese is pretty good, it's a light snack. I think mayo would be gross. If no cream cheese, I would not eat it. Bread and cucumber would just be a vehicle for the cream cheese.

>>8654823
>>8654841
These two have it

you need thin fucking slices of bread, with soft or no crust. Peel the cucumber, slice it as thin as you can and put a few layers on lights buttered bread. Sprinkle on a tiny bit of salt and vinegar, close the sandwich and eat it.

Sounds boring, but then so do lots of things. They are delicious

I like it just with salt on a soft white bread

>>8657177
Proof or GTFO.
Cucumbers are one of the easiest vegetables to grow, and they are prolific in production. There's never been a shortage of cucumber, especially back when everyone had a garden.

Shit like this is why people think whites are afraid of flavor. You people fucking do it to yourselves.

Ever heard of the principle 'less is more'?

It's just meant to be a light fresh tasting snack to with tea. It's not trying to be extravagant.

>>8659955
Sorry, maybe we should start eating eggs soaked in piss, then?

They're not disgusting, just plain. They're not supposed to be eaten as a proper meal or even a snack food. You have them with tea mid-afternoon, sometimes with cream cheese or before scones.
Sort of gone out of fashion because nobody except landed gentry bothers with afternoon tea.
