Classic New England Sandwich

Chris Burnett

What comes to mind when you hear the words “Classic New England Foods“? Clam chowder? Sure! Lobster? Definitely! Maple syrup? Of course! But sandwiches? Probably not so much.

Surprisingly enough, several much-loved sandwiches can trace their origins back to New England. Here is one classic New England sandwiches that we can’t live without.

Baked Bean Sandwich

As many New Englanders will tell you, Saturday night has been and will always be baked beans night. That being said, if you happen to tire of just plain ol’ beans and franks one evening, all you have to do is take those beans, throw ’em between two slices of bread, and — bam! You’ve got yourself a baked bean sandwich!

A baked bean sandwich is one of the best uses for leftover beans from the weekend’s evening meal and is something that can be eaten any time of day. Some like to stick to using white bread, but Boston brown bread is another great option that will add even more flavor to the sandwich (and perhaps improve its structural integrity a little, too).

So, just how do you make a baked bean sandwich? it’s as easy as plopping a delicious pile of cold baked beans onto a thick slice of white sandwich bread (Anadama bread works great, too) and topping it with another. Some baked bean sandwiches are made with brown bread, but they tend to be more “open-faced,” and that’s just not the same thing as picking up a sandwich and biting into it!
