growing up our neighbors had a boat and would take my dad and I out fishing in the summer..one day we went out to catch walleye and my mom had made us a bunch of opened faced ham and turkey sandwiches..I was probably 10 or 12 and just thought thats how sandwiches were..I played baseball with his kid and he was an umpire during our little league games in the summer..that day on the boat when they saw the sandwiches he asked my dad if we were doing ok financially since there was not 2 pieces of bread..
It’s a good story. And I’m sure it’s true. But it’s a bit odd. Bread is traditionally a lot cheaper than what you put on an open faced sandwich. So two open faced sandwiches is usually more luxurious, than one with double bread.
how could someone make up a story like that? all true..coming from parents who were young during WW2 they kept a lot of the habits like saving your small soaps and making them into one big colorful ball..stuff like that
I said I’m sure it’s true. And I wasn’t using any irony or sarcasm. I though it was an interesting story. Thank you for sharing.
The best open faced sandwich I've ever had was in a small coffee shop in Halstadt, Austria a couple of years ago. It was a delicious rye bread with some bacon bits and a very pungent melted cheese on it.

Favorite open-faced sandwiches are lox bagels and variations thereof: bluefish rillette, pickled herring, all that stuff
Being a bagel, I guess they can easily become a closed sandwich as well. But glad to hear they are serving them open.
But not always a bagel. Sometimes it's a grainy bread with pickled herring, tomatoes, red onion. Must be quite common where you are, yeah?
Absolutely. Serving various kinds of herring are part of our (Christmas) traditions. Also mackerel all year long. And most traditional non-dinner meals are served with bread.

my wife did a semester in Copenhagen and says she got sick of all the pickled and cured fish. I'm not sure I'd ever hit my limit.

we have a pantry full of tinned fish..its a sight to behold
There's a nice little boutiquey grocer that recently opened here and they have a couple shelves of imported tinned seafood.
I collect them like I used to collect baseball cards..
what are your favorites? I'm a bit overwhelmed because these products all use a lot of spices and whatnot, like octopus with chili oil or something like that
