It started out simply enough. The goal: to make tomato sandwiches because…tomato season. Then ambition struck, and before long, six Southern sandwiches were made. And six were devoured. It’s not important who had how many.
We made a video of them on Sweet Tea & TV’s Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok, but then realized: what if you don’t know the ingredients?? What if you – like one of us – NEEDED to know what a pineapple sandwich tasted like? So, with that in mind, below are the ones we made and where you can find the recipes:
BLT (we made ours with egg, or a BELT if you will; arguably not Southern, but also arguably not, NOT Southern)
Tomato sandwich (This one gets contentious, y’all. Our take: simpler is probably truer to the classic version, but you do you, boo. You. Do. You.)
Grilled Pimento Cheese (We ran out, but to be clear, your best version has bacon.)
Takeaways:
Hard times make for interesting sandwich combinations.
Southerners will put mayo on anything and with anything (and we are “passionate” about which one is “right”).
We understand not everything is for everybody, but don’t knock it ‘til you try it.
(Almost) everything can be improved with an egg
Make your favorite – or the one you just have to try – and listen to the season 4 “Finale-Finale” episode while you do.
