Define:"Before Breakfast" "At Bedtime" and "Supper"

[Sqwertz]

I'm pretty suer most of you can figure out why I'm having a
problem with THIS:

https://i.postimg.cc/sXk5hmYZ/Prednisone-Package.jpg

I'm barely past day #1 and confused.

They all say "Take one/two tablet before breakfast". That much I
got.

"Before Breakfast? Who? <choke>

Supper? WTF and when is "Supper".

I've skipped ahead to day #5. WTF DO I DO?

I think supper is a Midwestern term for dinner.  My parents called it
that and they still have Supper Clubs in WI, at least.  Some areas have
breakfast, dinner, and supper.  They don't use the word lunch.

It's kind of like soda/pop/Coke.  By now you would think the terms would
have evolved and be the same everywhere.  Weird stuff.

[Thomas]

It is simply instructions even tards that wake up at 5 pm can understand.

Appropos of nothing, we ate at a "Supper Club" while in some small town
in Wisconsin once. It was a pretty cool place with plush old banquette
seating and a very large bar. The place looked like something you'd see
in a black & white movie from the 1940's. There was even an old man
sitting at the bar wearing an old-style three piece suit and I seem to
recall he had a pocket watch on a watch chain tucked in the pocket of
his vest. There was a derby hat on the bar next to him. How quaint!
The fish fry *supper* was excellent! :)

At least we're free of the corned beef discussion until March.
Although I spotted "Ox & Palm" corned beef from Australia next
to the Libby's and Armour at the grocery store last week. Bit
of a surprise, there.

I went completely off corned beef for years, after hundreds of people in
Scotland developed typhoid due to eating tinned corned beef from Argentina.

[Cindy Hamilton]

I wouldn't eat canned corned beef on a bet. In fact, I'm not sure I
ever have eaten it.

"Fresh" corned beef, however, makes a very tasty sandwich. Not
as tasty as pastrami, but very tasty nonetheless.

LOL We might not be free of the corned beef discussion. I have a
corned beef brisket in the freezer and I'll be cooking it in October. ;)

I really miss good pastrami - I think the last time I had a pastrami on
rye, must have been about 20-25 years ago, at a Manhattan deli near St
Luke's hospital.

[dsi1]

I used to eat canned corn beef when we were growing up. I've been thinking that I should eat more. Mostly, it's a nostalgic thing. The Samoans love the stuff from New Zealand. Hopefully it's the typhoid free version.

I think I've only had it canned. I'm not a big fan. I like the cabbage
served with it better. I will have to try it fresh.

[Cindy Hamilton]

Have you never had a corned beef sandwich or Reuben in a restaurant?

--
Cindy Hamilton

[Graham]

I think the best corned beef sandwich I have eaten was in London.
My then fiancée and I went to the Hatton Garden area (think diamond
district) to choose and buy the engagement ring. Since there were
still many Jewish-owned businesses there, we bought hot corned beef
on rye sandwiches for lunch. Damn, they were good.

[dsi1]

If you have a slow cooker, it's dead simple. You just put the corned beef in the cooker and forget about it for a few hours. If you don't, it's more involved. I tend to overcook the cabbage but I don't mind. It makes a great, clear, soup.

There are a couple places in Montreal that sell Montreal smoked meat
sandwiches that will set the bar pretty high. There are some meat
processors flogging cured meats they are trying to pass off as Montreal
smoked meat but they just don't compare.

Sandwich? Yeah, right. I kinda think that the cheese steak and Miracle Whip wipes all this crap off of the map ... err, the cheese steak also with lettuce (or even shredded cabbage) and tomato and ... plenty of SALT SALT, Salt, salt that is ! !

Don't you know nothing, there, as they say, 'dsi'...???

Butter is typically used for Scandinavian sammiches... don't you got a Swedish mudder - in - law...???

Smörgåsbord

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sm%C3%B6rg%C3%A5sbord

"The Swedish word smörgåsbord consists of the words smörgås ("sandwich", usually open-faced) and bord ("table")...

Smörgås in turn consists of the words smör ("butter", cognate with English smear) and gås (literally "goose", but later referred to the small pieces of butter that formed and floated to the surface of cream while it was churned)...

The small butter pieces were just the right size to be placed and flattened out on bread, so smörgås came to mean "buttered bread". In Sweden, the term att bre(da) smörgåsar ("to spread butter on open-faced sandwiches") has been used since at least the 16th century..."

https://www.seriouseats.com/smorrebrod-introduction-danish-sandwich

Meet Smørrebrød, the Best Sandwich You're Not Eating

"At their simplest, smørrebrød are open-faced sandwiches built on a thin layer of dense sourdough rye bread called rugbrød. The name of the sandwich itself comes from the words for butter (smør) and bread (brød). However, you'll rarely find one that limits itself to those two ingredients. According to Danish food expert Trine Hahnemann, smørrebrød became the default option for an inexpensive, satisfying lunch in the late 19th century, when factory workers began eating their midday meal away from home...

Unlike soft New York deli rye, rugbrød is a heavy bread packed with seeds and cracked whole grains. The bread's density means making an American double-faced, overstuffed sandwich is pretty impractical. And don't even think about toasting it—the extra heat would dry out the bread and create an unpleasant cardboard-like texture...

Rather, slather on a decadent layer of butter to stabilize the bread for an onslaught of toppings. If spread thickly enough, you'll see tooth marks, called tand smør, or 'tooth butter,' after taking a bite.

"It becomes smørrebrød the second you have the bread and butter on it," comments Scott Peabody, head chef at The Copenhagen in New York, "anything else you put on after that is extra."

I sometimes put butter on chicken or turkey sandwiches. I'll
occasionally butter and griddle the bun for a "barbecue" sandwich.
I still prefer butter for grilled cheese, keeping it all in the
dairy family.

I wonder what's up Bruce's ass about Reubens. Maybe I should
let him out of my killfile to find out.

I do all that. I also put butter on the inside of both pieces of bread
when making a peanut butter and jam/jelly sandwich.
I assume you meant on all four sides of a grilled cheese sandwich.

Some sandwiches ask for mayo, some for mustard, some need butter.

[Cindy Hamilton]

No, just on the outside. A grilled cheese is greasy enough without
buttering the insides of the bread.

Since I don't use American cheese, the oil from the Kraft sharp
cheddar soaks into the bread anyway.

A week or two ago I took advantage of the fact that I had a fresh
jalapeno on hand to make a grilled cheese with onion, jalapeno,
and tomato (all sliced as thinly as I could manage).

My mother disliked butter and never put it on sandwiches so I grew up
with butterless sandwiches and it never occurs to me to butter a sandwich.

[Graham]

For me it's butter every time.

[cshenk]

Just a style of grilled sandwich devised in America (either Nebraska or
NY city). Basically corned beef, swiss cheese, coleslaw and Russian or
thousand island dressing.

Graham wrote:

butter on the outside of grilled cheese or grilled
ham and cheese (or other combinations) for sure. i've
always liked that. but no, please no, do not butter my
peanut butter and jam sandwiches. that's just not
right... same with my BLTs. no butter needed for
those either.


songbird

[Graham]

Well I don't make grilled cheese sandwiches and I never
use peanut butter. I haven't bought peanut butter since the
kids were young, 40 years ago.
As for a BLT, I leave out the LT!. Two thick slabs of white
bread, generously buttered and lightly cooked slices of back bacon.
Otherwise known as bacon doorsteps. Delicious, even if unhealthy:-)

[Cindy Hamilton]

Seems a little... simplistic. Or perhaps you don't eat sandwiches
made from things that cry out for mayo or mustard.

Sometimes I use pureed sun-dried tomatoes as a sandwich spread. Or
ranch dressing (which is just flavored mayo, for the most part).
Or oil and vinegar. Or olive tapenade.

I agree with Sheila.

[Graham]

My ex used to use mayo all the time for savoury sandwiches and I
hated it. I sometimes spread chutney over the buttered surface
for a meat sarnie.

[cshenk]

Butter on outside of grilled cheese. I tried mayo and it was not good.

Other types, normally mayo and may have mustard and/or
horseradish-mayo. A few get wasabi-mayo. Just depends on what I'm
making.

[dsi1]

These days, I'll use mayo to make a grilled cheese sandwich. If I'm using Kewpie mayo, I just squirt it on - it's a lot tastier and faster than sticking a knife into a nasty half-filled jar of mayo.

Logic should determine when "before breakfast", "at bedtime" and when "supper" is, I believe.

[Graham]

Usually mango.
I have made a peach chutney in the past. It was a Jaffrey recipe so
ended up tasting like mango chutney.

[Hank Rogers]

Add 6 tablespoons of white sugar, and a slice of pineapple,
and it will be a Hawahyan sandwich.

Oh, I have had a Reuben sandwich. I guess I wasn't thinking.

[Michael Trew]

We always had oleo. I've only bought real butter since I've been buying
my own groceries. Other than a grilled sandwich, I can't say that it
would have ever occurred to me to spread butter onto a (cold) sandwich.

[Bruce]

When I was a kid, we'd always first put butter on a slice of bread and
then the next thing. Now I almost never do that anymore. Always hummus
or eggplant dip instead. I dunno, maybe that's healthier.

Probably. The next time I make a BLT sandwich, I might have to try
butter on the bread. It's pretty rare that I make one. I don't stock
mayonnaise here, and I always fail at making it.

[Cindy Hamilton]

If you do, let us know how you like it. I think I would miss the

[Hank Rogers]

My dad made mayonnaise occasionally. It was good, but I'm too
lazy, so I settle for jarred wino beat off.

[Michael Trew]

Will do. My favorite part of any burger or sandwich is a juicy slice of
tomato and lettuce. As long as the sandwich isn't dry, I'm usually fine.

A small new breakfast/lunch restaurant popped up in town recently. I
tried their $3 side salad the other day, and another $3 for a large
slice of rich homemade cheese cake also. Michael approves!
