Who doesn't love a good bread plus stuff plus another bread, otherwise known as a sandwich? I know I sure do! And so do Polish people according to my Polish roommate, who is the top authority on all things eastern European. Sandwiches are good, is what we can conclude from our respective findings. However, did you know that sandwiches are a political weapon?
I'm going to say that the average sandwich eater cares an average amount about social/ political issues. The second piece of bread in a sandwich is capitalism at its finest. Apparently in Poland open faced sandwiches roam freely, and I totally get it. I wish I could just walk into a restaurant and order an open faced sandwich at half the marked price.
The money saving tip I suggest today is that from now on, to save on bread, you rock exclusively open faced sandwiches. I mean, we all did it when we were children right? Its not like an extra piece of bread is symbolic of adulthood. Its not like as soon as you bar mitzvah, they say "and now son, you shall eat sandwich contents between TWO slices of bread". Contrary to what you may have been told, open faced does not interfere with your faith.
If you're at a restaurant you could try to haggle the price of a sandwich if its made custom open faced. I would recommend doing that after a couple drinks so at least you've already spent some money, and they don't think you're homeless and kick you out of their establishment. I think that the rate of rejection would be pretty high, so this is where creativity becomes valuable (both figuratively and monetarily)! Lots of restaurants serve on fancy bread. I have worked in the fancy bread restaurant industry, I have even cut fancy bread, so I'd say this is pretty legit advice. Order a sammie and ask them to cut one slice of bread in half. So legit. Restaurants like to give you large pieces of fancy bread anyway, so you can take in the fanciness of their bread, and for real you could cut those slices in half and they would still be able to support a sandwich. This way you can argue that its not a variation to the dish itself.
And always always open faced at home.
