Club sandwich
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A club sandwich, also called a clubhouse sandwich, is a type of sandwich most frequently served as a double-decker, requiring three (rather than two) slices of bread. It is generally cut into quarters, and often held together by frilly or plain toothpicks. French fries (also called as chips in the UK and elsewhere), chips (also called crisps in the UK and elsewhere), cole slaw or even potato salad may be placed in the center or on the side of the sandwich triangles. The traditional club ingredients are turkey, bacon, lettuce, and tomato. Cheese and/or mayonnaise are optional additions. The sandwich is usually served on toasted bread, but untoasted bread can be used, as well, depending on customer and restaurant preference. Ham is sometimes substituted for bacon, and chicken sometimes for turkey. A pickle and/or garnish such as parsley are often added to the platter.
In Denmark a club sandwich refers to a toasted bread or bun sandwich with a filling of chicken, curry dressing, bacon, and usually lettuce and tomato.
In the UK, club sandwiches have begun to appear on the menus of Deli-style outlets and fast-food chains.
