I don’t necessarily mean specific recipes, I mean concepts. A western sandwich is bread, (vegan) meat or cheese, sauce, tomato, something pickled, some salad, mostly, all layered and/or thinly sliced. Cross out maybe some of them for simplicity, like the mayo tomato or the british cheese and cucumber.
A döner kebap is sort of layered but everything but the protein layer is more of a mix up and not like tomato followed by onion or whatever.
A Banh Mi is sort of western of course, but it does a twist. The layers are there-ish, but they don’t matter so much. Sort of a hybrid between something like a kebap and a pita if you catch my drift.
What other sandwiches are there, conceptually?
From my general region… the open-faced sandwich!
Look up “horseshoe” and despair.
After Christmas when I’ve got my leftover vegan turkey, the second I’m home from my family and have cracked a beer and gotten baked it’s time for some white bread with leftover tofurkey and mushroom gravy covered in fries. That shit is amazing. This horseshoe thing…is an affront to midnight after Christmas is done
Much of this shit could be made vegan behind the scenes, and no one would notice. Sort of like how they don’t notice that 20-50% of fast food meat is TVP/hydrolyzed soy protein.
Oh I could do a vegan horseshoe. It’s just an affront to nature no matter what
