I don’t know about you but when I see a sandwich name like New York Sandwich, I’m thinking we’re in for some pastrami action or at least a delicious meat and cheese fest. Well, when the recipe comes from 1905’s Salads, Sandwiches, and Savouries it is an entirely different affair. One involving raw oysters. I enjoy oysters on the half shell but so far, there has et to be a sandwich recipe that doesn’t turn them into goo. There have been some that call for them to be fried which I am all in on. Alas, this ain’t that.

  1. I would probably have opened it up and stuck it under the broiler. May have been salvageable.

  2. I love raw oysters but I 10000000000000000000% agree never slather it with more oily goopy things. Cocktail sauce is an exception because of the minced onions and such, not turned into paste. You have to have texture contrast, it’s Art.

  3. I always was to seem positive about any of these sandwiches. But you mentioning the texture and the sheer thought triggered a slight gag reflex. I too feel sorry for those oysters

  4. If this was made with canned smoked oysters and just a bit of mayo it might edible, maybe not good but edible.

  5. I'm in NYC for work and got my first chopped cheese after watching the @insiderfood guys. You should do a crossover with them sometime. Have you made a chopped cheese yet?

  6. Good for those that can do oysters raw. That ain't me. lol. Gimme a good fried oyster and that's just about heaven on earth though. heh. And wow, yes, this one was very very much a bust from start to finish. lol

  7. From the thumbnail I was getting psyched up for an awesome chicken salad with celery on a sub roll…..oh my that was sooo different

  8. I was thinking as a plus up, take a butter knife scrape all the oyster mayo off the roll, leaving a smear on each side. Then spread the remaining over 3 more rolls and toast them like grilled cheese in a pan. Serve as a side with a seafood based soup.

  9. We of the Great State of New York refuse to claim this sandwich

    The oyster thing actually makes sense considering NYC’s culinary history, but the sandwich looks awful.

  10. ok look in its defense it has opened me up with what can be done with oysters – wish me luck I def want to try blend with mayo which I never would've considered.

    Have an open mind folks! This channel is for lovers not haters!
