While the controversy about the vegan hotdog is still goin on, I introduce you guys this beautiful “soup sandwich”.
As a heavily mustachioed and embearded individual I am 100% down with a knife and fork sandwich, I’d eat this for sure.
Go back to sleep, babe. There’s no such thing as a soup sandwich. It can’t hurt you.
Ngl, I don’t like unpickled cucumber, but I’d try this anyway. With a fork handy, but a good sourdough should hold up to a sauce like that.
I’m all for a good sandwich with delicious sauces, but how are you supposed to eat this? I would argue it’s not a sandwich once the bread is too soaked to pick up. It’s not even about getting your hands wet and gross, which is bad enough, but the real problem is the lower slice won’t have any structural integrity. Shits gonna fall apart and all into your lap.
Instead, I recommend using a knife and fork so you can chop it up like a salad, and it can complete the set as a “soup sandwich salad.”
I agreed that it’s losing its benefits of being a sandwich when soaked like that, but there are many sandwiches that are wet or require knife & fork.

…require knife & fork.
Sort of…
Depending on the company and setting, perhaps. But they can still be eaten with hands, provided there’s a napkin and preferably a little water around, afterwards.As someone who grew up in Philly, we have a local/regional sandwich that’s a whole lot messier than that Chicago one. I think once or twice in my life did I see someone eating it with a knife and fork, and I suspect they were from out of town.
What regional Philly sandwich? I’ve only had cheesesteak, pork & greens, and some scrapple breakfast thing. Not a fan of scrapple
Cheesesteak, bingo. A greasy, unhealthy steak sandwich with lots of cheese… or cheese-product, haha.
Never heard of pork & greens being a Philly thing, especially. Scrapple’s pretty good when made right, sort of like smashed “homefry” potatoes, but the ingredients are kinda nasty, like hotdogs, etc.
The roast pork and broccoli rabe is my go to over the cheesesteak every time I’m in Philly. I can’t remember the name but there’s a place at Reading Terminal Market that has one I dream about
You might be thinking of Dinics.
Yes!! That’s it
Shits gonna fall apart and all into your lap.
I’ll tell you what I tell my 3½ year old and five year old: “Lean your chin over your plate [god-damnit!].” (The god-damnit is said quietly in my head, lol.)
I always have a plate and eat above it no matter how structurally sound my sandwich is. Crumbs and little bits always find themselves falling off. I highly recommend it.
If I did that, my dog wouldn’t love me anymore.
I’d presume you’d eat it like a hot chicken sandwich, ie fork and knife.
I don’t think my mental image of a chicken sandwich is the same as yours, but I do enjoy an open faced tuna melt, which I find is easier to eat with a knife and fork. But I don’t really consider that a sandwich, either. It’s more like chipped beef on toast, which I suppose you could argue is also a sandwich.
I dunno about this… I see a wet cucumber and I’m runnin
Damn, you must hate cucumber water.
Could be a courgette, that’s a much more common vegetable soup ingredient.
I randomly had a Mason jar and a cucumber (for homemade sushi, not butt stuff) and decided to do some hippy shit and threw sliced cucumber and strawberries with filtered water in the jar. It was actually pretty amazing.
Ordered cucumber limeade once thinking it would be a refreshing cucumber-tinged beverage and it turned out to be more like a lime-tinged glass of thick cucumber glop. It actually tasted pretty good but the milkshake-but-a-cucumber vibe was just too much.
Combining elements of both to make something not as good as either.
This loser doesn’t want a hot, wet mess in his mouth.
