Here we called that « pain sandwich », didn’t think it existed outside of Quebec
Wow you guys are really preserving everything old.
Haha ! Personally never saw it before ten years-ish ago when my grand-mother bring one at Christmas. « We always have that at Christmas » she said, my girlfriend and I saw some on instagram but it was about all.
So not really 😅
'Pain' in French or in English?
Depends on time within the context of the specific body metabolizing it.
Pain like bread. So Pain in French
It is a popular dish in Sweden as well. They call it smörgåstårta.
That word is similar to smorgasbord, which is a word I've heard occasionally, but probably never used, so I figured I'd look it up.
Its etymology from that Wikipedia link is very interesting. Apparently "smorgas" means sandwich, and it has a weird etymology for getting there (it apparently literally means "butter goose"), while "bord" means table. Which is all very strange, because smorgasbord now means something like "buffet", and has little to do specifically with sandwiches (or butter geese).
So, I'm guessing smörgåstårta would mean something like "sandwich tart"?
Close. Tårta means cake. So it translates to sandwichcake
smorgastarta is an appertizer. It's inthe name - smorga-starta, the best meal starta youse can gets!
;-)
Both a buffet and a sandwich have a little bit of everything. That's how I made sense of it originally.
Swedish dish is always something smorgwhatever.
Isn't that... redundant?
Yes. I think it come from the form of the thing
Cause it uses four slices?
It looks like a bread you buy at the store
Do people buy that kind of bread in Quebec? I thought they'd all eat good bread. You know, speaking French and all...
There’s full of sugar bread that are sell at grocery stores.
But like everywhere there’s bakeries
I see. Most people I've met outside the US call that type of sliced bread "toast" because that's the only thing it's good for.
In america they call it "bread" because it's all they know. Other types of bread exist here, but they're seen as "fancy," are marketed as "artisan," often have subpar recipes compared to elsewhere in the world, and a lot of people here will view you as a snob for preferring it. It's really annoying, as someone who prefers good bread.
I would have eaten this faster than a plate full of rolled sandwiches at Christmas as a kid.
(Still missing the pickles and olives at the center to win first place. Maybe add those as toppings on the icing?)
Pickes! I'm with you. But imho you always want olives as an opt-in, not an opt-out.
Pain to eat?
Depend who you ask
