Ooh! Great idea.

A american substitute for the good old cucumber sandwich. Makes sense I guess

Nice and light carby whitebread with a couple of tablespoons of mayonaise or butter! ;)

@@pti1337 Mind you, the sandwiches would have to be cut into bite sized portions to be suitable for tea. Eating one or two bite sized sandwiches would be "light" compared with a whole sandwich.

I’m imagining the same round sandwich but with egg salad. Yum in the radish sandwich

he needs to see this

That makes me think of my grandfather he is 87 years old we just did my grandmother's funeral last week she was just a couple weeks shy of 91 he gave her everything and even a beautiful funeral with the most beautiful casket I can tell he seems very sad but he is so stoic and won't ever let anybody see him cry but I know he's hurting. She got dementia and it got so bad he was even paying $3,000 a month for her nursing home and him as well as all of us in the family I'll try to chip in and help take care of her to keep her at home but it got to be more than we could handle.

i believe he has a daughter and a granddaughter too

@@daguy5000 Fucking why? It's a good comment, but why does a fairly basic platitude commending him for keeping his spirits up through grief need to be seen by the man himself?

@@hahanosrryggl223 Why do you have to swear? Pretty abrasive for such a mild comment. You seem super angry/aggressive over nothing. A normal response would be, ya know something like, "Why?..."

That was a sweet comment.

It is good to be frugal and have a budget. You would be amazed at what a Cook or a Classically trained Chef can do with simple ingredients. I watched Chef Jaques cooking simple meals a few times. I started as a busboy, then a cook, then Culinary Schools, CIA and Washburne. Later became an Executive Chef running Michelin star Hotels at age 23. And many smaller restaurants, catering and special events. By age 30 I was also running several companies. I later became a Chef Instructor, then cooked with Chef Bocuse in France and USA. As with Chef Paul, gaining skills and styles from many Chefs along the way. Paul Bocuse, one of the most legendary figures in the culinary world, was awarded three Michelin stars for his restaurant, L'Auberge du Pont de Collonges, located near Lyon, France. He maintained these three Michelin stars for an astonishing 55 years (from 1965 until his passing in 2018). This achievement made him one of the longest-standing holders of the coveted three-star rating in Michelin history. A Chef can not perfect and master a dish until it has been prepared 1000 times. Watch a few of our videos, you too will gain skills.

Though mayonnaise is is very expensive these days

Same story with me. I've never cried to a recipe before 😢

😂

Me too

I could use the same bowl, same cereal, same milk and his would still taste better.🤦

Agreed.

Absolutely!! He amazes me without fail xo

Absolutely not, good food is good food.

You 5so right.

@@Excitingnoise93 mbe now but u must remember the comment was made a whole yr ago. since then we've had Biden getting dementia, Trump shot, Trump live streaming on KICK and Mr Beast running his business like a 1920's coal mine

Cut the crusts off and it don’t matter where you serve it.

That sounds really good

@@joelupcho2452 They were so refreshing on a hot summer evening and fun and fast to make up a plateful for the whole family.

@@annettefournier9655 I'm definitely going to make them. Was there any other ingredients? Oh and also that makes me think of something. Another good hot summer day meal is if you take tomatoes cut the middle out and use it for whatever else but stuffing with tuna salad and some cheese

​@@joelupcho2452What's an example of a sweet wine? (I don't really drink)

Madeira or massala wine, something sweet like a desert wine

The cook who taught us cooking said the same. Be confident. You are using good ingredients,you will not make poison. Something good will happen. Never be scared. Enjoy

​@@induchopra3014 How encouraging! Love that!

and hopefully one day you will learn to spell

Hilarious 😂

@@audrahollis1487 They know how to spell ... they're quoting. Learn to read. So rude.

Lol!!! Yeah, right preserves! Let's talk about that in 5 years...

Jinx

Beef marrow sandwich on seeded rye with butter of course.. Polish gal here...

Right?! Like, could you imagine having Julia Child KZfaq videos to preserve her memory as well?

100% i am so grateful

That's my mom's favorite!

I also think of my mom when I make one ❤

So cute hearing Jacques crunch his radishes!😊❤

FAKE JewDemic

My Dutch Grandparents on both sides loved radish sandwiches.

Dude you have good taste i see you everywhere lmfao

Tomato sandwiches, made with fresh, homegrown tomatoes, are the best.

I bet those were the best sandwiches too, grown with love, made with love. What a special Grandma to have had in your life.

You look like you made bread sandwiches

@@jdsoteldo Was that really necessary?

We're lucky to have him.

My Dad said cooking was woman's work.

Rest easy friend, as a chef of 24 years I can confirm that if Jaques Pepin says that's how to do something then that is the way!

Raw onion in salads & on sandwiches is delish! I've never heard they have to be cooked. I don't agree with Gordon!

That's insanity, raw onions are great in salads and sandwiches ^^

@@aussiejubes I don't agree with most people who use the term "always".

I am a fan of Gordon but he gets a lot wrong

'The Bob Ross of cooking' - a perfect description! It's wonderful when kind people with that lovely gentle energy, become a huge success and prove you don't have to trample on others to make it. Talent and integrity wins! Gentlemen in every sense of the word. So sad we lost Bob so young - just 52 - but thank God Jacques is still with us and sharing his food enthusiasm at 87. So sad he lost his beloved wife Gloria, but it's clear she is never far from his thoughts and very much still with him. She always will be - love never dies!

He paints with butter & mayo!

Or was Bob the Jaques of painting?

He salivates too much for that...

"The French are arrogant" Jacques Pepin: "hold my onion sandwich"

great idea. I will have to try

@@LavendLady So glad to hear you enjoyed it!

One sandwich that has stuck with me over the years is something a friend of mine made for me when he was over back in year 1 of school. Bread, butter, ham, and sliced apple. Uh I think he added ketchup as well, but the combination of ham and apple is the part that stuck with me. For some reason it works surprisingly well, especially if the apple has been in the fridge, it gives it an amazing refreshing flavour.

@@LavendLady PLEASE Do you rec green or red apple?

Sounds delicious!

:| this isnt cooking mind as well eat a bag of chips at this point..

@@JohnSmith-bw6pv you have no idea what you're talking about.

eh don't let me top you from enjoying your half a tub of mayo and thinking youre a chef..

@@JohnSmith-bw6pv yeah ok, that's why he's a world famous chef and you're fake name bunch of numbers in the comments on his video.

@scott rhodes So you stopped eating them because you thought they were poor food but because you saw a video you’re going to start eating them again?

That's great. Going back to your roots. Wonderful. Never thought about onion sandwich. I will now.

My mother used to make tomato sandwiches when I was young and we were definitely poor but those sweet juicy beefsteak tomatoes from the garden with white bread, mayo, salt and pepper were divine.

@@NoNo-bz1fz Yeah, he was a snob for a few years there lol

So nice to rediscover something you love!

Reddish sandwich and a beer sounds really good.

Your going to need to calm down a bit.

@@YRFKDM8 Why? Food is exciting. Get off your Xanax & live a little

@@YRFKDM8 You're gonna need to learn grammar.

Learn to cook. Get off the prescription drugs

It’s very French! Especially the radish sandwiches.

the first sandwich is more like mayonese with some onion and bread

How did that impress you tho? He basically added more onion to the sides haha. That sandwhich sounds gross.

@@rupman27isback Well, the chives should cut the mayo it's on top of making it make sense in my mind. It also looks nice and harks back to the traditional European sandwiches seen in High Tea for instance.

@@dylanpaul7371 Yeah... no thanks man. He could of at least grilled the onions or bread? Put some seasoning on the inside? All I'm saying is for a James Beard recipe and a famous chef.. this looks terrible.

@@rupman27isback Sounds like you should really try it out I know I will be

@@dylanpaul7371 I'm good man. I'm not the biggest fan of mayo but i do love onions. But I don't eat just raw onions by itself.

You can wash out a soup or vegetable can of appropriate size to use a circular "cutter " My granny used an old baking powder can for a biscuit cutter since there was one handy instead of throwing it away . A vienna sausage can works good too for cookies or smaller biscuits

I think he used the glass because it was bigger than the cutter.

​@@luns486 he literally said this

You can use scissors too

My Mom made what we called cathead biscuits during harvest time very large from quart jar for all the hungry men working the fields

Yes, you can hear the love and a little pain. He lost her a few years ago. They were married for over 50 years.

James Beard must have been on acid in the 60s/70s

2:1 you didn't even make it and try it lol. I tried the onion one but added a hamburger patty on it, was delish. hehe.

@@PatrickDKing That's just a hamburger.

If only it were tasty

i think there is a real art in making simple dishes. so that all rhe ingrediants shine through distinctly and without getting muddled or masked, but instead complement each other.

Marinating the onion will also take the edge off.

Yes! Exactly this. There’s nothing pretentious it’s just natural.

If you live in America, sweet Walla Walla onions are the best. Easy to get in the Pacific Northwest, not sure about the rest of the country.

Sweet vidalia onions are my favorite, too!

@@stevegoducks Walla Wallas are available some times. Can't remember if it's seasonal like Vidalias are. There are also several new strains supposedly sweet, but they're never very good. Sometimes I slice regular onions and soak in ice water with sugar dissolved in it for awhile. Makes them crisp and not so pungent.

@@LIZZIE-lizzie I just wish they were available all the time.

You posted that on 2023's Vidalia shipping date!

Agree. I am not a chef by any means but they inspired me to want to cook and enjoy it. The host on FRETWORK are so over the top and unmotivating.

looks awful. mouthful of mayonnaise and onion wtf 😂

Powerful Breath!😁

Oh wow, that sounds idyllic!

What is it about sitting in the fridge that makes them better?

Hello 👋, How are you doing?

Try buttered saltines with radishes. Delish!

I was just thinking that I bet radishes would be good with turnip greens instead of onions.

I will toss radishes in olive oil and butter and roast them in the oven, they're amazing, like little potatoes almost.

Really, without bread? I never would have thought about eating that without a slice of bread, real German bread though, not that white cardboard sh*t.

Indeed he is. At least they can still get his books in France 😁

I want his hands cast in bronze so we have an everlasting reminder of the genius and kindness of this man (and his incomparable knife skills!)

He is a global treasure

🤦🏻‍♂️

National treasure…. No, he’s a treasure to where ever he is watched

Yum, will have to try that, this comment section is really bringing me back to my childhood haha. Thank you for sharing.

@@kaiju_k5042 me too. Glad you like the comment. Thanks.

@@williampalchak7574 :)

Green onions and sour cream.

@ William Palchak - read you comment and knew you’re from Pittsburgh! Grew up with Town Talk Bread. The good ole days.

Joan?

I lived in Germany in my childhood and had zwiebelkuchen, which is basically onion pie, and I loved it. I'm not much of a baker and I really miss having it.

If the onions caramelized, it _was_ sweet, nothing almost about it.

😢😊

nope, that's what I eat almost every day, drop the other slice and mayo, that's just for the video, welcome to Poland/ Ukraine

Basic food.... >:( Basic food but French.... :D

😂

That sounds SO lovely😮! 😊

Good to know, thanks.

Cutting onions releases the sulfurous compounds found in onions. Rinsing sliced or diced onion under cold water helps mellow them out.

That's definitely true, but doing a rinse with the same water would eliminate it all!

Thanks, I've posted similar elsewhere, as the big downside of raw onion is the pungent breath it gives you for the rest of the day! The smell is unmistakable to anyone unfortunate enough to be within 10 yards of you. I heard soaking the raw onion slices in a little white/white wine vinegar for 10 minutes (red wine vinegar would work too), dials down the acid and makes the raw onion taste milder and be more forgiving, breath-wise. Incidentally, did my eyes deceive me, or did Jacques put two slices of onion on one half of the sandwich, leaving the other half empty? No one else has mentioned this in the comments - I'm baffled!

good point!

In my family it was mayo on one side, peanut butter on the other, and a slice of sweet onion in the middle! Don't knock it 'til you try it, it's delicious

@@matreat1in the netherlands we have this combo of sauces we like to dip fries in: its peanut sauce next to mayonaise with raw diced onions on top of it. You were onto something

@@107613cw Sounds great, I'll have to try it!

You were a child in the 1800s? ....google Marie-Antoine Carême

Yes. I was wondering about soft white bread and onion. But wonderful middle European bread would be great.

Maggi fucking rocks your dad knows wassup

Good for you. Do IT!

*@Kaiju K:* Adding a few drops of Maggi is a great idea that never occurred to me. I'll definitely try it. Thanks for the suggestion. 😋

@@ginawiggles918 Aw thank you Gina, I hope you like it! Loving this comment section, so much good discussion :)

I am so blown away by things like this. I grew up without the internet and yes, the world felt very small. I can't beleive how far our reach is now. The fact that I don't have to wait for a library or a store to open in order to learn something, I can't express how appreciative I am of content creators.

That sounds great, can't believe it but am going to be making a few rounds of onion sandwiches 😆

You should try it with Pimento Cheese.

@@Superintendent_ChaImers Steamed hams but it's pimento cheese

Have you ever tried making your own mayo? You can make it in a blender. Game changer and it's fresh and you can control how it tastes and what is in it.

I call mine 'cucumber-onion sandwich'. I spread roasted red pepper hummis as the spread, red onion slices, cucumber slices and tomato. Sometimes I'll do Swiss cheese, sometimes no cheese. Very healthy and very refreshing. I always use Brownberry 12 grains and seeds bread. Yummy!

Ooh those combos sound delicious!! Esp anything with zaatar ❤

Cucumber sandwiches are classics. Usually made with butter. But cucumbers and cream cheese just go together so well.

I make a spread with cream cheese, Worcestershire, Mayo, garlic and dill. Definitely not as simple as just cucumber and cream cheese but I love it. Throw a healthy portion sunflower sprouts on their too and it’s divine.

That's what I love so much about Jacques Pepin, he always makes us want to try this stuff at home!!

They have cooking competitions in the Olympics?

@@ShackieChan hahah right? was wondering the same.

What does this mean? Your dad is an Olympic medalist who's also a chef? Why even bring that up?

So, apparently there is indeed chef Olympics if you do some googling. I was just being funny. Chill people.

I did the same thing but then I found onion and sliced avocado and added it back on!! So delicious

i did exactly the same as you, only i didn't have bread so i tossed it all in a bowl. i also didn't have mayonnaise so i used some oil and vinegar. i agree, terrific recipe!

I also improvised, as alas I'd completely run out of bread. Thinking on my feet, I made some beer-batter, dipped a piece of cod in it, and ate it with some oven chips on the side. A perfect substitute!

So you made a completely different sandwich lmao

​@Glamdolly30 you're hilarious 😂

who seems to be struggling to breath

lol 💀
