Apparently the British wish to lock me up for daring to suggest something with flavor instead of a cucumber sandwich

minus-squaredon@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·3 months agoHave you ever seen a British cucumber sandwich? It’s little more than a thin slice of cucumber (no skin) in between two slices of whatever that cake is that they call white bread. At least OP’s sandwich has jalapeño and sri racha in it.

minus-squareHexboare [they/them]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·3 months agoIt’s not too far from an actual bahn mi recipe, some eyebrow raising substitutions though Do they not have bird’s eye chilli in the US?

White Americans are usually in two camps when it comes to spiciness: Can’t handle it at all, start crying from just a single slice of jalapeño. Extreme hot sauce masochists looking for pain and not flavor. Also bird’s eye chilis aren’t available in every grocery store but there is always one that has them and is reasonably close.
