Welcome to sandwiches of history today from the sandwich book of 1900 We're gonna be making the lettuce sandwich and if you think lettuce is the only thing in it You have not been watching sandwiches of history long That's because the first thing we have to do is make a mayonnaise dressing We start by beating up an egg adding a lump of butter the size of half a walnut vinegar and sugar Yep, that's what the instructions said to do verbatim Okay, now some of you out there are gonna be tempted to say like you did it wrong You're supposed to make mayonnaise this way blah blah blah blah blah blah Allow me to put the exact instructions on screen for you You Yeah, now I do the half recipe but still it says beat an egg add a lump of butter vinegar and sugar Then say melt a butter, then say do most fine anything Maybe common sense back in the day. They were to say like oh, we got to do it this way But the instructions didn't say that and I make the recipes as written. Okay, now on to butter bread We put a thin layer of peanut butter. I would say whisper, but they didn't just a thin layer and we put on our mayonnaise dressing And at long last lettuce Okay, let's give this lettuce sandwich a go No, so instead of this mess what I'm gonna do is just use mayonnaise and make the sandwich again To maybe approximate what the sauce probably should have been like all right Let's try and make an approximation of mayonnaise dressing. I've got mayonnaise here adding sugar and vinegar once again to butter bread We add a thin layer of peanut butter Apply our mayonnaise dressing And start the show lettuce. Okay, let's give this lettuce sandwich made with the approximation of the mayonnaise dressing as opposed to that abomination that was there before I go It's not the worst thing I've eaten We've got a lot of tanginess and a little sweetness from that mayonnaise dressing as much as I'm not thrilled by the sandwich I am gonna try and plus it up and no not the garbage can I'm gonna add a little grainy smith apple with a little salt. Okay, let's give this lettuce sandwich plus up with the grainy smith apple the little salt go Getting a little tartness a little bit of salt and hands of flavors, but no wowing me So I'm gonna say the original lettuce sandwich makes zero sense to me You taste the mayonnaise dressing and the peanut butter far more than you taste the lettuce Well, let us is just a bit player there that original recipe for mayonnaise dressing was Horrible so I would give the original as it was written zero. That was terrible Redone with the mayonnaise. I just had mayonnaise regular mayonnaise with vinegar and sugar added to it Three it's still again not a lettuce sandwich. It's not the focus It's the peanut butter and the mayonnaise dressing and plus up with the grainy smith apple and salt three and a half I'm probably gonna finish that because it's not so bad that I want to throw it out But man, I am never making this again in my life All right, see you tomorrow
