Supposed to be a Japanese sandwich with Tonkatsu pork in the middle. Now I feel that people just call sando pretty much anything 😅

Slang for sandwich that has nothing to do with Japan It's clearly slang, could have come from anywhere. I started saying it because of Letterkenny

A sandwich. Japanese simplified the pronunciation to "sando", and it seems people really want to make their sandwiches appear fancier by calling them "sando" too. Because, you know, Japan is popular and doing anything "the Japanese way" gives +100 clout points instantly (even if the only Japanese thing in it is freaking mayo).

Im an Aussie and if i say ‘breakfast burger’ people correct me to ‘breakfast sandwich’ i made it in my home kitchen I’m not trying to make some Japanese bastardisation, its just a bloody breakfast sandwich/burger/whatever.

Yeah, sando is a pretty natural way for Australians to shorten their words too.

Wow I can't believe you called it mayo instead of mayonnaise, are you looking for clout points?

This is a really aggressive response to a very inane trend. I was in Portland, ME recently and "sando" was more common than "sandwich" and i didn't even think about the Japanese connection.

It can be a plate of spaghetti but if you call it Japanese Reddit loves you

Is this what cultural appropriation feels like?

It's originally Japanese, but it's been adopted by foodie hipsters as a cool way to say sandwich.

Onion, chorizo, avocado, American cheddar and a perfect egg. Bit of pepper & kewpie sriracha on top, between a toasted english muffin!

What does kewpie mean? Is it something mixed with sriracha? Looks like what our local sushi places call spicy mayo

That looks amazing. Great choice of bread (by the looks of it).

Runny yoke and all, that looks perfect

Looks delish My textural preferences would broil that for about 30 seconds to add a bit more crunch to the muffin and a bit more melt to the cheese. I do agree the cook on the egg looks devine.

It looks really nice, but I have just one question, what's a sando?

Holy Hannah, I wish that cheese was a little more melted.

10/10 I would inhale it.
