nutraxfronerves - good knowledge. I had always thought there were anchovies in Caesar dressing.

Is that really true Myanmar?

We learn a lot here on GS renegade. Anchovies does sound good on it.

Noted with thanks, sashac - in Britain it's called a baguette.

In the US, a baguette is just bread. Looks like this. Not usually used to make a sandwich. The sub is on a long roll, not a baguette. The roll is usually not as crusty as a baguette. It's often called a French roll (at last where i leave.)

Separated by a common language covers differences in sandwich names
>As an American, I can make a sandwich using sliced bread, a roll, a bagel, whatever. In the UK, sandwiches are made with sliced bread, and anything else is called by the name of the bread it's in--for example, a ham and cheese baguette.

Americans would call that ham & cheese baguette something like "ham and cheese on a sliced baguette." If you go to a sandwich place that makes them to order, you'd be asked some variant of "what kind of brwad? White, wheat, rye, sourdough, French roll?" ("wheat" is short for "whole wheat" which is wholemeal.)

My pleasure tony. What nutrax said with the addition that, it's only been in the last few years that some restaurants will offer baguettes as a sandwich option. Usually they'll have a `chef's special' sandwich made with it. A lot of times the baguettes are here are a bit on the chewy side so I tend to opt for whatever type of whole grain bread they have. These range from just wheat to 9 grain or more which can include rye, barley, oat, etc. We just don't do it simple around here.

To add--and get back to the OP, more or less--we also don't put "salad" on our sandwiches. Oh, yes, we might load them up with lettuce, tomato, sprouts or other botanical things, we just don't call it "salad."

That sandwich shop will ask "what would you like one it?" or "everything on it?" One place I go to that makes sandwiches in front of you asks at every stage: "tomato? onion? lettuce? peppers? pickles? etc." I think it just makes it easier for the person making the sandwich, instead of having to remember it all.

The first time I ran into "salad on your sandwich?" I had a vision that they were going to pull out a bowl of mixed greens with vinaigrette & dump some on my ham & cheese.

There are a couple of American sandwiches that have a real salad added. The Rachel (pastrami, swiss cheese, and coleslaw on rye, grilled in a pan) and a pulled pork sandwich (pork barbecued until it can be pulled apart, combined with a tangy sauce, & served on a bun with coleslaw). There are many versions of pulled pork.

That has to be Subway? If it is - when I first started going there they would ask what you wanted but, I figure that since they're not paying too well, the people they hire aren't able to remember too many ingredients at one time. I like it that way though. It's nice to be able to look at the items before deciding what you want.

I like my pastrami on toated rye with mustard, onion, coleslaw and kosher pickle slices. It make a huge mess eating it. I loved pulled pork but it's hard to find good pp around here.

A good fattoush is hard to beat, in my opinion. Pretty keen on salad olivier as well.

@nutrax, in Ireland, it's the opposite - filled baguettes are called "salad rolls", even if it has meat in it, and potentially no vegetables or leaves at all.

A baguette with just ham, grated cheddar and mayo/butter could be termed as a salad roll. This sandwich is particularly popular in the construction industry, as is southern fired chicken with the merest hint of lettuce justifying the "salad" part.

P.S. I get the 'renegade' but the 'badger' bit, badger? (Ye dinnae look anything like a badger.)
