Club sandwich

A club sandwich, also called a clubhouse sandwich, is a sandwich of toast, usually white bread, with chicken, bacon, tomato, and mayonnaise. It is often cut into quarters or halves and held together by cocktail sticks or toothpicks.

The club sandwich has its origins in the late 19th century. It is said to have been invented at the Union Club in New York City. The earliest known recipe for a club sandwich is found in The New York Times in 1894.

The club sandwich initially gained popularity in the United States, but it soon spread to other countries. It is now a common sandwich around the world.

Advice

When making a club sandwich, it's important to use fresh ingredients and prepare them properly. Start by toasting the bread to give it a nice crunch before adding your condiments. Slice the tomatoes and lettuce thinly and evenly so they are easy to lay on the sandwich. Make sure to use enough mayonnaise and other condiments to add flavor but not overwhelm the sandwich. Finally, stack the ingredients carefully, making sure to create an even layer of each item. When done, cut the sandwich in half and enjoy.
