That first one is a new classic “unintentional ASMR” video. Seen it pop up many times.

J. Kenji López-Alt makes a cheese and chorizo sandwich.

I have never seen someone grate chorizo before. I'm not criticizing, the sandwich looks super tasty, but it is an approach I had never considered and now want to try.

The The KERSLICER KL650 video has a mean wah-harmonica solo in it, recommended.

Rodney Scott, my bucket list, I just started it. He goes before Arvo Pärt's hall in Tallinn. The tuna sandwich, oh yes!

The creation of a perfect sandwich is deeply personal. I can both admire their styles and choices, while simultaneously disagreeing. Food preparation is an allegory for human interaction

So, (Cuban Sandwich!) after perusing this blatant food porn, I slinked off to the kitchen for Trader Joe's whole grain loaf, toasted with muenster, pesto under the cheese, sliced fried chicken breast, kosher dill sliced lengthwise, tomatoes salted, facing up to mayo'd bread, dinner sandwich. I was going to take a picture, but no, it is gone, gone, gone. I am really that suggestible. I wasn't even going to have dinner.

For all that Action Bronson projects his "Hey, I'm a big loud idiot stoner!" persona, it always amuses me that he's a trained chef. That Stoner Sandwich looks a work of art. And I am not currently high.

Douglas Coupland making salt and vinegar crisp sandwiches in "Souvenir of Canada" and his guests quietly hating them is my favourite sandwich moment.

I ... I feel like that grated chorizo may not be cooked by the time it's consumed.

It looked like the kind of chorizo that is ready to eat, not the raw kind that you crumble and fry.

There is an art to the business of making sandwiches which it is given to few ever to find the time to explore in depth.

Yes, that was cured Spanish-style Chorizo. Pretty sure from Boar's Head brand. It is cooked and ready to eat.

That Portuguese sandwich is a heart attack waiting to happen. I'd eat it.

Sandwich videos are good because they don't take long to watch.

That Cuban sandwich is a minor heart-attack waiting to happen. I'd eat it.

The sardine sandwich looks amazing. I'd eat it.

tsk! Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh sets a low bar for Ireland. Talks large about the home cooked bacon, the local tomatoes and lettuce and then brackets it with two slices of dreadful Chorleywood process (brown) sliced pan. Any of his [?♀] neighbours over the age of 60 could knock-up a brown soda loaf in ten minutes and deliver it ready for use an hour later. Chemical bread, sure, but it's grrrreat rrroughage.

Action Bronson is so right about the careful avoidance of rustling as you prepare your late night foods. I am the master of taking the bag of chips silently into my office, no crinkles, all mine!

Well, at least now I know what to do with my leftover gold leaf...

Bread was never meant to be triangular. A truer thing was never said.

I have to respectfully disagree. When I was a kid, I requthat my mom cut my sandwiches on the diagonal because it increased the length of the crustless part. This is particularly wonderful when eating peanut butter and jelly and there's that clean line of the obj layers and the very soft fluffy bread with no stiff crust in the way and you take a huge bite right in the middle. That's the best part.

An Irish friend has clued me in that Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh is quite the minor celebrity in Ireland, as a sports commentator in Gaelic and a columnist.

"The stopwatch has stopped. It's up to God and the referee now. The referee is Pat Horan. God is God."

"Seán Óg Ó hAilpín.... his father's from Fermanagh, his mother's from Fiji, neither a hurling stronghold."

He is a very funny man.
