Sandwiches were a type of handfood made from a variety of ingredients, such as spiced chicken[13] or ham spread, all stacked and affixed on[5] or between two (or more) slices of bread. They were consumed by simple sailors[14] to the rich and powerful.[3]
Variations[]
A Waterdhavian establishment called Mother Teshla's Turret Club for Adventurers served hot dripping butter-and-bacon sandwiches to its guests.[1]
In the late 14th century DR in Cormyr, prawn-and-cress sandwiches were all the rage in the king's court.[3] Another variation, and admittedly much simpler, sandwich from Cormyr was made with bread and goat cheese.[15] In the mid–14th century DR, sandwich platters could be found served in taverns and inns, such as The Hidden Lady of Suzail.[16] Some of these sandwiches were stacks of folded meat and millet.[17] In Immersea, cheese sandwiches were a common snack.[4]
The Elfsong Tavern in the city of Baldur's Gate served plain or spiced melted cheese sandwiches among its many foods in its taproom.[2]
The Happy Hippocampus in the town of Hill's Edge, the Sunset Vale, served a distinct variation of open-faced sandwiches called hot bites.[5]
In the metropolis of Ravens Bluff, the Dancing Bear tavern served gypsy dishes made by the Stravinsky family. Gyro sandwiches were among the unique delicacies served.[18] Another establishment that served sandwiches was a gnomish out-of-the-way café named Le PoTeete. Its gnomish dishes included Rosto, a sandwich of roast rothé on rye bread, served with gnomish pale ale.[19] Frieda's Fish Emporium of Ylraphon in the Vast was an eatery that specialized in fresh and fried fish. One of the items on offer was a fish sandwich.[10]
Sandwiches were made as far south as the Border Kingdoms and the settlement of Gallard, where fried-fish sandwiches were a common and fragrant occurrence.[11]
Platters of cold-meats-and-cheese sandwiches accompanied by jugs of ale were served in taverns of the planar metropolis of Sigil.[20]
History[]
Sandwiches were eaten as far back and the ancient Empire of Netheril, where meats were smoked to be made into sandwiches.[12]
