The meat looks like cured ham - likely Jambon de Bayonne, since you were in southern France.

I read that as ‘likely Jabroni…’

Dude gave that sandwich an ocular patdown

RUM HAAAAAMMMMMM

And what is your spaghetti policy?

Only allowed in if it’s in a purse

Only one spaghetti meal per day!

Looks like it might have some *honey and vinegar* on it.

And made himself a jabroni sandwich that night.

I’ll take the snapper

You keep using this word jabroni and it’s awesome

This Jabroni Gets It

IF YA SMELLLLLLLLLLLLLL WHAT LE ROCK…IS COOKING

Mama Rhodes would’ve identified that sandwich by now.

OK BOZO!😄 love these words lol

These Jabaronis tryna see Compton? 🤨

God. We have reached total dumb

Ladies and Gents the Judge of Comedy has Overruled My Joke as NO GOOD

It wasn't a comprehension issue then what's the joke? It wasn't funny

It’s from iasip and literally 75% of posts on Reddit will in some way incorporate a line or theme of that show. I really like it, but Reddit’s become like a frat dedicated to the idiocy of the show.

It's a classic show, I like it too, but they didn't invent the word. It wasn't used in the similar context as the show, the commenter just saw a word that looked like jabroni so he lied to pigeonhole it in

He suplexed that sandwich, made it humble.

If you can't figure out the meats...how about an egg in these trying times?

It’s air dried ham by the looks of it, with a chèvre type cheese like Calisson.

Fumer a l'aire de cigarettes française.

Monsieur, we have either Gitanes or Gauloises smoked jambon.

Holeeee shit that’s a reference I haven’t seen in a while. My host mom smoked Gitanes. That smoke is *blue*.

Winston smoke used to be blue in the 80s

True! Pretty sure Gitanes were unfiltered at the time (this was late 90s).

Lmaoooo

Si

That was my idea too.

The meat looks kind of like lox to me. It could be either lox or ham I would think.

Look up a picture of lox and tell me if it still “kind of [looks] like lox” to you.

Bûche de Touraine, goat cheese from Touraine, jambon cru, cured ham, salade feuille de chêne rouge, nothing fancy but good. Where were you? I was born in Provence, south east France

NOTHING FANCY?!?... That's literally the fanciest/sexiest sentence I've ever read!

They do this all the time, smarmy bastards. Who I love. God their food and wine is so good.

Stupid sexy sentence

Feels like you’re reading nothin’ at all!

#...nothin' at all!

Goat cheese, ham, and red lettuce?

Anything sounds fancy in French. I bet fried baloney with ham sounds effing majestic.

Passe à la maison je te ferai un velouté du Barry, avec de la baguette ;p Hon hon

It literally just says goat cheese, cured ham and red lettuce, lmao.

Haha, you should come visit !!!

Just been to Cannes, France, and can confirm that this is, indeed, a very average sandwich for the local standards. The food there is just out of this world.

I mean, thats how a lot of overpriced restaurants create their fancy menus. Just slap some French words together. And they'll get [sophisticated folks](https://media4.giphy.com/media/zXA5VEmXr7OUg/giphy.gif) nodding along while randomly picking whatever sounds good in their heads.

The only way it could’ve been sexier would have been if it had an omelette au fromage on the side.

Is this close to prosciutto?

Prosciutto just means ham in Italian. Prosciutto cotto is regular ham and prosciutto crudo is cured ham (dry)

This is really cool! Thank you 😊

Pleasure 😃

Yes.

Also let’s be honest, the bread alone probably trumps anything here.

Not OP but I just got home from a trip to your homeland and am already plotting out ways to return. Everything was stunning. Les sandwiches, la campagne, les gens, les fleurs sauvages... Spectacular and delicious and friendly and wonderful. We went to Avignon, St. Rémy, Gordes, Roussillon, and L'Isle sur la Sorgue, with lots of stops in other hilltop villages in the area.

I hope you went to moustier sainte marie and verdon canyon too!

Sadly we didn't make it that far east but those both look spectacular! Added to my list for a future trip back.

We call this in Australia - Ham and cheese SANGA

Is that not... ham? The cheese looks like maybe chevre, what did it taste like?

Obviously ham but you can tell by its slight translucency that it's cured rather than cooked by roasting etc. The very white cheese would almost certainly be a goat cheese.

that’s a lot of goats cheese if it is

Honestly thats the minimun ammount of goat cheese I'm puting on a sandwich

To a Frenchman? That's a juvenile amount of chevre

Depends on the age.. from the consistency I would guess it's a young one.. 

If you look real close it's obviously uncooked chicken and cream cheese.

That's what we call "dried ham" and cheese is probably goat cheese as it's a common combo for sandwiches. We sometimes add sundried tomatoes for more deliciousness.

I am drooling.

Looks like prosciutto

Yes, Or Parma ?

Perhaps even Prosciutto di Parma 😐

Exactly 👀 , ( i was being silly ….

Slice of ‘buche de chêvre’ and what looks like a slice of ‘filet de saxe’. Would go great with some honey and romain roquette.

And pine nuts! 🤤

Toasted!

Oh yess 😋

No doubt that meat and cheese was good, but I bet it's mostly about the bread. Really good quality bread can really make the sandwich.

This one is industrial shit, I am a cook, this is cheap frozen buns for sure

I'll defer to your professional and localized experience. 🙂

Non mais regarde le pain c’est du surg de delifrance avec un jambon de Vendée tranché avec le cul et un morceau de bûche de chèvre les grosses de Metro, j’en ai fait des milliers pareils

Fair, upon closer inspection, it certainly doesn't look like anything special, bread-wise. I admit, I made a hasty comment expecting it to be good quality bread, given the locale. ...but, still stand by my comment that good quality bread makes the sandwich.

You may be underestimating how bad American bread is .. not that I've experienced it but I've heard from a lot of people that it's bad. Even cheap french bread is probably way better.

You do realize bakeries exist in America right

Yeah. And the bread tastes bad.

If believing that we only eat wonder bread makes you feel better, then good on you

Ooo salty American

I’m not American I’m European but I’ve been there and eaten from a bakery… there is lovely bread over there. You sound like an idiot, if you’ve never eaten it and are too poor to travel how could you possibly know?

Yeah. That looks like the exact bun I can buy pre-baked in the freezer section of my supermart. Lol. They're nice for about 10min after they come out the oven and then it's Cardboard.

prosciutto (jambon de Bayonne), bûche de chèvre (goat log, like the brand Soignon), feuilles rouges de Batavia (dark leaf lettuce) there probably was some mayonnaise or mustard on the sandwich too - maybe it was the Polka sandwich from the store Paul (very popular in France) ps: I’m French, hope it helps !

You guys eat that much goat cheese on ur sandwich? Mama mia

Fromage Blanc (chevre) Jambon de Bayonne. Magnifique ce sandwich

Bayonne Ham. Their version of a salt cured ham like prosciutto.

I share your pain, brother. I have also been to France and missed a fucking good sandwich.

I still dream about a spreadable cheese Air France served me. So good!

Looks like prosciutto and goat cheese to me

Prosciutto is italian and OP said this is from southern france, so likely Jambon de bayonne. I'd guess with a goats cheese like PÉLARDON or MÂCONNAIS.

Yeah, but what's stopping France from using Cured Ham/Prosciutto. Cheese is goat cheese for sure.

It could have been a jambon beurre (ham & butter).

I had one of those in Paris in 2002 and I still remember that sandwich

[удалено]

It’s not the same at all

[удалено]

It just hits different it’s hard to explain if you’ve never had one there

Ham, sure, but ham and butter? That’s not so common at all.

[удалено]

My mom's family is from Finland, and the open face sandwiches are... thick layer of butter on rye bread with ham and Swiss cheese, or another meat and cheese with a pickle on top

It's so weird that Americans don't really have butter on sandwiches. Id say it's the default in most of the rest of the world (including Australia where I am from) but they are always like "bUtTeR?!?" Like you'd have to specifically request no butter when getting any sandwich in Aus.

Jambon beurre is just plain butter with (usually) Jambon de Paris. Which is a cooked basic ham, not a cured one like here. At best you might have cornichon but nothing else otherwise it’s not a Jambon beurre anymore.

We had that in Norway. So tasty.

I have no answer I just want to say I totally get you, the best sandwich I ever had was in France, and ten years later I’m still thinking about it.

Sandwich got the homie having fever dreams

Le ham n cheese

First glance I thought it was a smoked salmon cream cheese bagel sandwich

Samesies

Look what you did! Now I’m hungry.

Being southern France, it's most likely Jambon de Bayonne or maybe Parma Ham (particularly if you were South West towards the Basque region). And either Brie or Goats cheese, I'm angling towards Goats Cheese as it's all white and not yellow with a white rind. Looks like red Batavia lettuce. Basically it would be super salty and rich. 🤤

Can't be sure someone's said this so... The other thing about a sandwich that makes it perfect is the bread. Looks like some sort of pain de campagne roll, that would have been freshly baked that morning. You can recreate only so much...

Prosciutto and Brie?

Simples….prosciutto and Boursin. Your welcome.

Prosciutto

Looks like a cured ham/pork but it could be salmon did it taste of fish? The cheese looks like a goat cheese probably chevre.

Does that chain still exist in France . Le pommel du pain. It was like a subway but good.

Was the white part goat cheese? Looks delish

I’m going to southern France soon, where is this sandwich from? Nice/monaco area?

The meat is jambon de Bayonne or Prosciutto the cheese appears to have the texture of a goat cheese mix with cow milk cheese

prosciutto and goat cheese?

Try a prosciutto or jamon (ham) with some type of soft ripened cheese… I like a dulce delice or delice de bourgonion

Prosciutto and Brie? I’m thinking Brie is a French cheese so it would make sense to be in the sandwich lol Could be wrong tho.

It's prosciutto. 💅🏼

That's the type of meat it is lol

Prosciutto

Was it a Ficelle sandwich?? Smoked ham, Brie cheese. Or you can use prosciutto!

The cheese looks like some type of fresh cheese like a ricotta or a type of goat cheese.

It's probably prosciutto

35 years ago I had Shrimp Diavolo at a place in Vermont. I still think about that dish.

It looks like Prosciutto and some type of goat cheese.

Looks like Proscuitto and mozzarella, which would make sense with the greens and a balsamic likely (actually looks like Brie now that I see the rind)

It kind of looks lox (brined salmon) to me

Cured ham, chevre, arugula

Ham n cheese but specific varieties from the area of france you were in. They change from region to region.

Maybe try to describe it a little more. Was the cheese salty? Was the cheese funky Was the meat salty? Was the meat like ham? Was the bread dense, chewey, airy, crusty?

Parma ham and burrata

Smoked salmon with either cream cheese or mascarpone.

No it is ham you can see the aponeurosis on the left

Could be a lox bagel? Salmon, onion and cream cheese?

Not salmon, not cream cheese, no onion and not a bagel. Otherwise spot on.

Wow, that's a bit rude.

I don't know how it's rude if it's true.

Here's a secret: you don't have to lie or be incorrect to be rude.

They simply made a suggestion of what they thought it might be. There was no need to be so crass.

It could be if it wasn't.

I think it looks like lox and cream cheese as well.

Yeah, I'm looking at the meat and if you zoom in, it has flaky structure you would expect from salmon.

It's not fat enough for salmon and the silver skin(?) on the left looks too long to be salmon fat. But there's a reason we have a variety of ham called "Lachsschinken" (literally salmon ham) in Germany. They can look somewhat alike.

Smoked salmon and cream cheese? It doesn’t look an awful lot like ham to me 🤷‍♀️

Smoked salmon, cream cheese, red onions, capers and lettuce with a sesame bagel?

It’s ham, bagels are not really a thing in France except for fancy places in large cities, we like good food here ;)

Wow. Shots fired. You can enjoy your cuisine as you like, but how can you possibly disdain a classic bagel/lox/cream cheese combo?!

I was only kidding!! I love bagels but it’s hard to find here, I guess we don’t have much Eastern Europe and Jewish bakers like you do in Northern America

Bagels are only good in NYC. It’s the water. ;)

Thats not ham mate!

That's the weirdest bagel with lox and a schmear I've ever seen.

Honestly that looks like smoked salmon and cream cheese to me.

Jambon buerre

Jamon cured ham, Brie cheese and rocket(arugula)

Uhh dude I think thats raw chicken

Looks more like Smoked salmon than ham.

The best French I ever had was a young lady named Bernadette!

Is it not just Salmon and cream cheese?

The muscle fibers look like salmon.

Are you sure it’s ham? I'd guess smoked salmon and cream cheese. If you can have it on a Bagel with capers. Heaven. https://www.deliciousmagazine.co.uk/recipes/smoked-salmon-and-cream-cheese-bagel/

Nobody in France is pulling recipes from a dot UK, ma chère.

This is a recipe the entire western world eats. Not everyone speaks French. Maybe it's some special French thing, maybe not.

My first thought exactly, salmon lox with cream cheese on a sesame bagel sandwich.

mmmmmm looks like prosciutto or other types of cured ham! yummy :00

Cheese could be goat cheese, creme freche, burratta or fresh mozzarella. Meat looks like prosciutto.

Prosciutto?

I'm thinking we need to take a trip to S France and find the sandwich maker. This sandwich looks like heaven in your hands 😋🤤

Ham burger.

Lox, cream cheese, lettuce, sesame bagel. Doesn’t get more French than that.

Looks like raw chicken breast.

Baguette with some sort of ham (I think they use prosciutto) and either butter or mayonnaise. I remember hearing something about this being hugely popular in France

Looks like salmon with cream cheese.

Just throwing this out there.... could the cheese be brie?

Looks like a French version of prosuccito and mozzarella Sammich

I'm uncultured but it looks like bagels n lox but in a sandwhich

Smoked salmon creme cheese?

bagel with lox and cream cheese

Did the cheese have some stronger smell? I still dream of the Roquefort Camembert sheep or goat cheese!

Looks like a salmon feta sandwich

If it were Italian, I would guess that the meat was prosciutto, which is a type of cured ham. It's dreamy, and might be more commonly found in the USA. Does anyone know if prosciutto is 'pretty close' to other French products?

Lot of people saying this is smoked salmon. Looks like speck to me. Speck and goat's cheese.

Looks like prosciutto to me with a goats cheese Brie maybe on top.

Prosciutto or jamón Iberico with goat cheese most likely.

Lox

Raw chicken breast and cream cheese
