Open Sandwich

An Open Sandwich (pronunciation: /ˈoʊpən ˈsændwɪtʃ/), also known as an open-face sandwich, is a type of sandwich that consists of a single slice of bread with one or more food items on top. The term "open sandwich" is a direct translation from the Danish term "smørrebrød", which is a traditional Danish dish.

Etymology

The term "open sandwich" was first used in the English language in the early 20th century. It is a direct translation of the Danish term "smørrebrød", which is derived from the words "smør" (butter) and "brød" (bread). The term "smørrebrød" was first used in Denmark in the 19th century to describe a sandwich that was eaten with a knife and fork, rather than with the hands.
