  1. It’s crazy how English has no special word for it. In Germany we would call a slice of bread with something on top Käsebrot (“cheese bread”) or Wurstbrot (“sausage bread”). Is there a French term like this?

  2. We’d call this an ‘open sandwich’. A ‘sandwich’ by default is closed and has bread on both top and bottom.

    Looks lovely though :).

  3. Just in case you’re interested: there’s also r/Sandwich 🙂

    Beware though: everything which can go between bread is considered a sandwich over there, including hot dogs and burgers 😉
