Wait do americans really not have cheese sandwiches?

Yeah I think by volume you'd see the majority of sales in the US would be similar. There's a lot of good bread available though, and I'm assuming it would be the same in the UK. I don't know if they have a whole supermarket aisle devoted to it like in the US but I'm sure it's more than enough.
Yeah, there's tons of stuff available in both places, which is why it sucks that white bread is used in such abundances. The darker breads have so much more to offer in taste and aren't just empty, useless calories used to transport other foods.
OP used an incredibly bad example for what me and the other europeans are talking about.

Wheat / multi-grain bread more popular than white bread in America.
Which doesn't shock me; it's a small fraction of the bread available at any nice grocery store. At a cheap store it might be more prominent, but you literally can't buy "Wonderbread" from most of the nicer stores (or WHole Foods for instance.) It's the standard bread for a lot of children which is kind of sad and probably why the consumption is still so high; I grew up on whole grain bread myself though.

Yeah, honey wheat is usually my go-to standard bread when I'm shopping. I haven't bought plain jane white bread in years and years now.
There's not enough potato bread itt.
It's like the working man's brioche. Awesome for grilled cheese and also great for burger buns.

I'd rather not fuck with industrial made baguette but fair enough.
True, true. If you're going to go with white bread anyway, though, may as well just take the potato.
Fresh Potato bread with some butter and a good well aged cheese is soo godly...
Where in the US do you live where you can't get a nice baguette?
The same town in which you can only buy American cheese, probably.
I can't imagine not having any kind of bakery around, or at least a store that sells more than bags of Sara Lee and Wonder Bread.
Also makes a good french toast.
But easily bested.
I'll have to try that out if I ever bake Potato bread again.
You can't recognize a gourmet British pizza when you see one?
Is this a sandwich?
You've obviously never been a king.

Edit: Covered in thread already. My bad.
Just came across a discussion about this and apparently a cheese sarnie is a laughable concept to Americans, is this true?
What say you rest of the world?
Bread + Butter + Cheese
Pretty normal thing in the UK.
To be clear I'm not talking about a grilled cheese.
That's a struggle sandwich if I've ever seen one.
What I found far more surprising was when Dan and Jan encountered Danish hot dogs and didn't know what fried/roast onions are.
Like these things:
In Europe you see stores trying to sell these as the most American thing ever and apparently Americans rarely even use them?

I don't know what they're talking about I've seen those on hot dogs in the US often.
I was raised on American cheese sandwiches. Bread, margarine, cheese. When I got older with a developed palatte, bologna too. It's still a staple of my diet. I will not be shamed!!!!
Fried onions are usually in... ring form over here. Stuff like in that image gets used on hot dogs and whatnot sometimes but the average American probably wouldn't recognize them by sight. They're not really much of a thing if you don't frequent hotdog places in cities. Fried onion rings, on the other hand, are common. At least that's my take from my corner of the US.
Or Five Guys burgers. Or pretty much any Italian sausage vendor/shack in the Northeast.
American here. I love Bread and Cheese. probably the greatest, most versatile meal of all time
And no not grilled cheese melts etc. Thats gross.
Bread & creamy or cold block cheese is best.
Protip: If you ever go to InNOut you can ask for cold cheese on your burger. Game changer.

I see those on green bean casserole. Maybe occasionally on a salad? Never seen them on a hot dog or a sandwich, though.
And where did you go when you visited?
And what type of store did you shop in? (like I doubt you actually saught out nice grocery stores, most people don't when visiting a country)
Because your comment is pretty ignorant. Try going to a nice store in a major city; even a big chain like Whole Foods let alone a more local grocer.
Rarely, if ever. They're tough to find.
I discovered these in my late 20's and it was a life-changing moment for hot dogs.
Put some chives on there. And also use a bagel.What about cream cheese sandwiches?
Another European that came to America and shopped exclusively at 7-11.
European sandwiches literally make me laugh
yes I have been gaining weight steadily why do you ask

That's uh, not a sandwich. It's a piece of bread with cream cheese, which, though it is tasty, is not a sandwich.What about cream cheese sandwiches?
Someone needs to take a picture of a baguette with a single piece of lettuce on it and then lecture us rubes who do not partake in such lofty cuisine.
