In James Beards' cookbook and autobiography, Delights and Prejudices, he uses sweet onions for this recipe, and the insides spread with sweet butterr. These were served at cocktail parties by his catering company. They were a big thing in the 1950's. Try again using a sweet onion if available in Korea.

I actually love when ben makes his food. Different from trying a fast food item.

I saw that onion sandwich video just few hours ago too haha

It tastes like "Summer" and filled with nostalgia. Over 5 decades ago my grandmother made these for me as a kid in Eastern Europe. Even the green edge, but because we couldn't waste precious food there were no "round" shenanigans, just trimmed crusts. 😢😍

what a great memory you have there, man!

Jacque Pepin is the man, his onion sandwich is a great Video. I have watched it too. On a side note, Jacque Pepin was always on PBS on KCET (create) in my 20's when I lived in Los Angeles. They also played classical music in the evenings. The rare good use of government funds.

man's got on the Goya cap for this afternoon tea meal

the baguette hat looks really good on you ben! givin some monsieur vibes

it's a tea sandwich, so yeah, I've seen lots of them (and this one is fantastic). cute little cut-out sandwiches rolled in herbs are super-nice. I like sweet onions for this particular one and chives are extra-good, but there's nothing wrong with parsley! Jacques Pepin is the man.

Getting both sweet onion and green onions for some oyakodon action👍

Sandwiches don't need to have cold cuts/meats all the time. A little veggie/fruit sandwich with mayo hits from time to time. Tomato and Onion is my favorite mix. I do dab in the occasional cucumber with pickle. You just gotta find the right mix that suits your palette. Pretty good as a thrifty struggle meal in those college days, too.

Tried this today and yes it’s really good and different. Jacque also made another sandwich using same technique, but with thinly sliced radishes and salted butter.

I love how this guy is so chill

Ben can make the simplest foods to make you want to eat that at the moment. Keep doing your thing!

Keep cranking ‘‘em and I’m gonna keep watching them Benny!

hell yeah dude this rules. ive come across that video a few times now and watched it every time lol.

One of your best reactions yet on the first bite hahaha

ever since i got a higher resolution monitor i been wishing you uploaded in 1440 or 4k. this sandwich looks kinda crazy but i bet i'd like it. as far as the wasting of bread is concerned yk i'd just eat the crust or more likely just leave it on there

I saw Jacques video on this a while back and wanted to try it...but still have yet to do so. I did however try his recipe for Anchovy Pasta & that was so good. I make it all the time. Gunna have to try this one out now.

i'm so glad you tried these because i saw that exact same video and thought the sandwich was wack af

Thats why I trust him. Picky eaters can like whatever they want but I cannot relate. If Ben says it's good then it's good.

i'd definitely use the crust as breadcrumbs, stores forever when dried out. You could even use the exact same ingredients/leftovers for some fried onion. Onions rings -> cover with batter (mayo, parsley, salt) -> cover with breadcrumbs -> throw it in the pan or deep fryer

nice. will never go wrong with a classic

you are becoming a master at this grilling outdoors and your " i know what the hell i'am doing '' is right on

unexpectably delicious

Maybe chop up the leftover bread and use it deep fry the sandwich might as well upgrade it with some meat and cheese👏👏

Use the bread edges to make bread pudding. An easy delicious desert.

Ben could never hate on anything he gives anything a chance making this shihhh loook fire

I recommend everyone try to do delicious things with crusts when they cut them. Fry in butter and dip in roasted garlic or spaghetti sauce with lots of melted cheese, dip in hot butter then slather on some jelly. Tons of ways to use it!

Kewpie mayo literally makes everything taste good. I am addicted to it.

I tried this a few hours ago i did not regret at all, please try it, it is really good.

Sandwich was first made by Irma Rhode, NY Times chef. Beard made it famous.

That actually looks good I love raw onion 😂

I think the white bread is important to the combination of taste. I’ve had this before and the combination of mayo, sweet onion and white bread makes a nice combo.

Real ones know about the OG mayo sandwiches. IYKYK

Would love to see you do a vid on Pépin's other sando from that now-iconic video - the Radish/Butter sando!

My grandmother used to make these back in the 80s. I'm almost certain she used the Pepin method but she also sliced them into smaller bits and the mayo and butter did a lot of the heavy lifting taste-wise. I know I'm tasting nostalgia but they were great when she would use yellow onions and mayo (though, Kewpie probably hits better) and she'd use soft butter around the sides to line the sandwich with parsley. I hated onions back then when I was a kid, but I would devour those things whenever she made them.

Hi Ben, thanks again for your video. i love this concept simple easy and very tasty. it's a pity that some people react so rudely to you, you should block those people immediately. Send you love and peace.✌️❤️🥰🌺💫

Good presentation, Ben.

I’m definitely trying this

Man out here eating onions and mayo sandwich. Need to try it lol

Those look so good.

Lol I'm from the southeastern US and I grew up watching my brother eat sweet onion, mayonnaise, and mustard sandwiches. It's basically how we would make fried bologna sandwiches minus the bologna. I have grown to love onion as I've gotten older, but still not enough to make an entire sandwich with it lol.

The hat looks good👌🏻

left over bread can be used to make egg in a hole / egg toast / eggs in a nest

My favorite is onion, tomato and cheese sandwiches. You can even eat the crusts. A delicious low-key meal for sure.

My guy be doing the most random stuff lol

>> you know me - young one with the OG - parsley

Golf Hat Ben is a vibe

Next time use the whole slice bread...add more onions and Mayo the edges so you can get parsley on it. Even consider adding parsley on top of the onions too.

If ben says something is bad, it must be AAASSSSSS 😂

You can make homemade croutons with the leftover bread.

omg...you made me crave that without even trying it

this sandwich reminds me of the quote “salad was invented by poor people” 😂

I eat whole onions like most would eat an apple. I love onions!

I’m def gona try this if Ben likes it il like it I would never think of a sandwich like this

Made this today. Been wanting to try this ever since watching Jacques’ video on it. Absolutely delicious! I used chives and loved it. Gonna try parsley next. I also went pretty thick with the onion and it was perfect!

The hat makes you seem so wise

im digging the hat

I respect how you don't like to waste food

Simple is sometimes better. Will try this next week when bills are paid

Try this with tomatoes, surprisingly good

FUN FACT: The famous onion sandwich was created by James Beard and his business partners Bill and Irma Rhode. While experimenting, they initially used a darker bread and schmaltz. To enhance a luxurious mouthfeel, they opted to use brioche and mayonnaise. The "frosting of parsley" was actually James' idea. Bill took the credit for this sandwich without ever mentioning James, as a big F U, James decided to introduce the onion sandwich in his very first cook book, "Hors D'Oeuvre and Canapés: With a Key to the Cocktail Party". He sensationalized "some French hostess...for these tiny bits of flavor" for the creator of this sandwich. 😂

I heard raw onion is good after you drink or if you drink more often. I haven't researched it but if that is true I guess this will be a great way to have it. I will probably add tomato tho.

It's only a thin sliver though, I think if you want to eat onions for their nutritional value then it's probably better to just add them to a salad or something

next sandwhich to try that sounds hella weird but is actually delicious: peanut butter, mayo, onion, salt, and pepper.

When in doubt pinky out-SpongeBob 😂

Starting to think anything and everything tastes good to this guy.

This cap will be your new signature look, I do declare

onion, cheese, mayo, amazing sandwich.

Ben: and its a waste of bread everyone: ... and onions, mayo, parsley, salt and time

i think cutting out the bread is just for the experience it feels like. if i were to do this i would use the whole bread with the same process.

I would crank it up a notch and put a thin Patty on top of that and then another bread Patty and that would be it that would take it over the top beyond anything with the parsley roll😊😊

should done 3 with different thickness of onions

I would feed the extra bread to all the birds in my backyard

Ben rocking the newspaper boy cap 🔥 bro lookin clean wit it

ben, you're my gem

Why’s no one also doing the doing the radish one? In the video I saw he did the onion first then the radish right after. Preference? I really want to try both, they both look delicious!

And my family thinks the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches I make with cream cheese is weird lol but hey I love all bens content ill give it a try!

Ben was officially speechless.....

Just make it with the whole slice of bread. It is just as good.

cardiologists love this sandwich

thatd be fire with norwegian smoked salmon
