The ZM Podcast Network. Fletchborn and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod. Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with my Macca's rewards. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. Sandwiches are what we're talking about today on A Little Bit of Pod. Love a sandwich me. Love a wrap. Love a sandwich.

I love a rubin. I love a wrap. Is a rubin a sandwich? Correct. One of the greatest sandwiches. Yeah, I love a rubin or a toasted sandwich, but otherwise a cold normal sandwich I don't have any

time for. Right. I know that's controversial. Do you know, timing wise, this is perfect because I'm fresh from having had a sandwich for lunch yesterday. Make a sandwich for lunch I would never do. I don't buy bread, it's weird and I just bought some bread and was like... But you're the voice of

Plowmans. Oh yeah, I buy lots of bread. No, you should have said you get given lots of bread. I get given lots of bread from Plowmans. I love a sourdough. It's good for your sourdough. I had like a real grainy bread yesterday. It was good bread, but I'd usually go a wrap. But yesterday, pardon, there was a burp, I just had

chicken, mayonnaise and lettuce. Like an old school chicken salad sandwich Fuck yeah Fuck yeah man, it rolled Fuck yeah Fuck yeah It rolled, I really liked it And then Aaron ate it and was like

What a delicious sandwich I was like, chicken and mayonnaise There you go, there's ploughman's for you isn't it There's ploughman's I've got a mate, Johnny makes a great sandwich It's his thing, he makes a great sandwich What's he put in his sandwich? Well, like just the right amount

I always have a pack of sandwich And I'm dealing with a lot of spillage of the sandwich. Yeah, same. I like a wet sandwich. No. Yeah, it's gotta be wet. I mean, I don't want a dry sandwich, but if you're making it straight away, yeah, wet it up. But if it's sitting for any certain amount of time, then it's gonna get wet and soggy.

But sometimes you put as primary meat as salami. Now, to me, salami is a secondary meat on a sandwich. 100%. It's a chicken and salami sandwich. It can be a primary meat on a pizza but not on a sandwich. Yeah. You've got to have ham and salami. Ham and salami, great combo. Chicken and salami. Yeah, see what I mean by it's a secondary meat.

It is. It's a secondary meat. Let's go around the world looking at some sandwiches. The bun meat in Vietnam. Yum. Yum. More a bun though. No, too much crust in the hot bread for me. A symphony of a sandwich. Reuben, the USA claims. The quintessential 1950s Jewish deli sandwich.

It's all the butter and the hot press. Do you know what it is? Totally. You can literally put a piece of cardboard as the filling as long as it's buttered and pressed. A po' boy in New Orleans. Yum. That's good stuff. Again, Tim, it's bread.

How good's a fish sandwich? A smorgbord in Denmark. A fresh fish sandwich? You know when you're like on the boat and the fish comes in and someone there fillets it. You chuck it on a pan. Yeah, butter and then some fresh wine. Salt, pepper, lemonade. Lemonade? Lemon. The smorgbord in

Denmark. Cheese, smoked salmon, herring, metal poultry, and it's on a dark bread. It's a very simple sandwich. The Cuban, this is a share. They say it was invented in America by Cuban immigrants. I've had a Cuban, and there was a place in Wellington that did a good Cuban. It was real yum. Yum.

Cuban's great sandwich. The katsu sando in Japan. Katsu sando. It was real yum. Yum. Cuban spring sandwich. The katsu sando in Japan. Katsu sando. Oh, my God. So it's basically just katsu, like schnitzel. Milk bread, though. You've got to have that fluffy, thick white bread with zero nutritional value. Yep.

With a katsu fillet in it. A spread of tonkatsu sauce. Yeah. Mayonnaise, kubi mayo. Yeah. The lobster roll is another American one from the East Coast, more up from the other places where it made sandwiches. And the Bocadillo in Spain is a Spanish ham and tomato sandwich.

One of the most popular foods in Spain is often eaten as a snack at any time of the day. Its original version was bread spread with tomato and garlic. Oh, yum. Well, the reason we talk about sandwiches is because of this. We're not just talking about sandwiches. We've got some archaeological news for you. Well, apparently,

some archaeologists working in the Arabian Desert in northern Saudi Arabia have discovered tools that would indicate the Neolithic period was where sandwiches were invented, not much later. What tools do you need for a sandwich? They thought it was way later that we were into sandwiches.

They thought it was way later. Okay. They thought it was way later that we became like a bread-eating... You know everyone that's done like paleo and stuff. We didn't start eating bread until... Thank you, Pete Evans. Also, the vaccines are actually going to poison and turn your blood black.

So it turns out women eating bread for longer. They found these tools and there was cutting tools, which was obviously used for meat. Did they find a panini press? No, they found the grinding tools that turned plants into flour and then bake and then heat elements, which were not only For the cooking the meat It turns out But also heating the The flour that would

Make the bread I always think this Who the fuck Who did that Like who was the person Who took this flour This like literal stalk And then was like

They could have had A school project And wanted to make some glue Moolie it up And then it Just they left it And they were like Well that looks yum

And I'll bake it Bake in the hot sun Yeah And then they were like Yum Oh god that smells yum and I'll bake it. Bake in the hot sun. Yeah. And then they're like, yum. Oh, God, that smells good. Yeah. Oh, no, I've dropped it on the floor and now it's all covered in seeds.

Oh, my God, that's even better. I always think we just see animals doing things and we're like, if it's good for the animal. Yeah. Like I'm thinking a cow might have chewed a lot on like wheat and like mullied it down. Yeah, right. And then maybe they cut the cow open to eat the cow and they were like, what's this in one of its stomachs? And they were like, that all in all doesn't smell horrible and it's spongy and then if it got hot,

it might have turned into something edible. I mean, these are people, they didn't have a lot of choice. They couldn't just pop down to fucking Woolworths and get a sourdough. They were just eating pretty much whatever they came across that wasn't going to kill them and sometimes they didn't know, like mushrooms. Yeah. Yeah.

Yes. This is really throwing the sandwich timeline into disarray, isn't it? Oh, this is really picking up the sandwich timeline. I'm wondering why the hell we're still talking and why we aren't going to get a sandwich. We could go get a sandwich. Could go get a sandwich. That's such a good sandwich.

We could go get a big sandwich. Remember that day that I was like, I'm healthy eating, and then we went and got sandwiches, and I got a freaking beef ragu sandwich that was like cheese crusted. Journey to health. Absolute journey to health. Sandwiches rule. It's proats, bruh.

Proats is proats at the end of the day. Get yourself a sandwich or whatever and make a sandwich. Sandwich day. Sandwich day. I think that's already a thing. Is it? Yeah. Well, it's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley's official sandwich day today.

We are doing a promo at the moment for our New Zealand listeners where you can win $5,000 with Vogel's. I know it's your arch nemesis. Yeah, but Vogel's, I will say, is not a sandwich bread. It's a toast bread. Vogel's is a toast bread. Couldn't agree more. No, mini sandwiches.

When I see Vogel's thinly sliced and it says sandwich on it, I'm like, this is stay in the toast game. Dedicate yourself to the toast game. How dare you. Yeah, stay out of mini sandwich. It's a thinly sliced and it says sandwich on it. I'm like, this is stay in the toast game. Dedicate yourself to the toast game. How dare you. Yeah, stay out of the sandwich. You're too thin. You're too small. Yeah, it's not.

I love Vogel's. It's the only bread we regularly buy for toast. And eggs on that toast. Sandwich bread is a whole different bread. But it is. You did right, actually. You did right, actually. Your people do a good sandwich bread.

Yeah, I know. Plowmans. Get it. Your people. These are my people. I don't even have a team, but sure. Yeah. Yeah.
