No, the greatest culinary invention would have to be either:
Steak and chips
The pizza
Fish and chips
The beefburger
Or
The curry

The beefburger is a bastardisation of the sandwich! Any filling in bread is a sandwich.

It was popularised but not invented by John Montagu and just because someone put his name to it does not mean that other people did not put fillings between bread before him...
Many countries have their own name for such beverages...

But a beefburger doesn't have to be *in* anything......

Beverages?
Far more sensible. But beverages are not culinary by definition AFAIK. Or would one of thsoe revolting sounding vege-smoothee thingies counts as both culinary 'delight' and a beverage?

A sandwich whoever makes it, just reminds me of being at work and not having time for a proper meal, and i dont like being reminded of work, when i am out and about <blink>
And i sure as hell would not go out my way for a sandwich when travelling miles to a restaurant for well prepared, and cooked food.
I like sandwichs but, they are not the greatest culinary invention

Pizza is the best culinary invention, bar none!

I don't particularly like sarnies - they're just boring <yes>

I rather like a sandwich made from a baguette, but they are a bit difficult to keep fresh enough to make the night before and then have them for lunch the next day.
As for being the greatest culinary invention - most of my recipes come under that heading so I've had to disagree with the opening question!

| Hungry shoppers are being offered the chance to eat a gourmet sandwich, but the £85 price tag might be too much for some to swallow. The McDonald sandwich - named after its creator Scott McDonald, the chef at London department store Selfridges - is said to be the world's most expensive. Its cost is down to the Wagyu beef that makes up most of the filling, packed in a 24-hour fermented sour dough bread. There have been at least five advance orders placed for the 21oz (595g) meal. Wagyu cattle are one of the most expensive breeds in the world. The Japanese cows are raised on a special diet, including beer and grain. They are supposed to be regularly massaged with sake, the Japanese rice wine, to tenderize the flesh. Mr McDonald denied his creation was a "sandwich for snobs", saying its beauty was in its simplicity. "The flavours marry, it's not complicated - albeit a little bit rich," he told BBC London. Food and catering director at Selfridges on Oxford Street, Ewan Venters, who commissioned the sandwich, said they expected it to be a hit with local "foodies". "I think if you are a food lover, this represents great value for money," he said. "Some of the finest ingredients from around the world have been used to create this fabulous sandwich." The ingredients of the sandwich are: Wagyu beef, fresh lobe foie gras, black truffle mayonnaise, brie de meaux, rocket, red pepper and mustard confit and English plum tomatoes. |
Does it come with chips <roflmao>

I rather short-sightedly claimed I would buy that sandwich from Selfridges if I got the job I was going for. Unfortunately I got the job and now have to spend £85 on a butty.

The question does not ask about gastronomic wonders. It asks about inventions, and a culinary invention could be the fork!
Neither the sandwich nor the pizza require a fork, etc. So, the concept is brilliant.
I think of having sandwiches on the bow of my boat while tied up near a Florida Island. I eat grilled strips of filet mignon, with horseradish sauce, and rye bread. A fresh sliced tomato, a boiled egg, and a chilled rose'!
And, a cinnamon cookie for dessert.

Pork pies are shoddy by comparision to the mighty sandwich. Minced beef and onion though...that's competitive!
Steelstallions - October 2, 2007 08:40 PM (GMT)
Had a samosa with a packed english filling of well cooked and seasoned mince beef and onions. It looked like an inflated samosa, don't know if it was the drink or not but it really hit the spot.
Wicked Witch might know the place it was Morley Hayes, it was part of the buffet for a wedding i went to and they had just been cooked when served along with all the other treats.

The owner has spent a fair amount on Morley Hayes, it has an hotel now as well as a licence to get married there.
I think they are trying to keep up with the Breadsal Priory, but Breadsal Priory out did them a couple of years ago when they hosted the G8 summit for the likes of condolezza rice not the presidents who i think were in Scotland. They also have had the England football team stay there as well.
Never seen so many unmarked cars and i sure as hell didn't race round those country roads like i normally would.
