The bocadillo, the panino, the jambon-beurre - what could be more continental, what could be nicer?

Are you doing it completely by hand?

Originally posted by Joseph K View PostI wonder if sandwiches are less of a continental thing? I don't recall eating them much if at all in my time in Jena (also trips to France). I guess there are rolls - Broetchen - which aren't strictly speaking a sandwich.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

I have a fond memory of staying at a French hostel where breakfast was a bowl of coffee and a croissant or roll.

Sorry Joe for going OT, but it was such strong memory jolt.
Rather more relevant, holidays each year in France featured bread and various meats and cheeses, but we never tried to make sandwiches.
