It’s really just cucumber with butter? Nothing else?

Seems a bit scary to me

I somewhat cheat by using salted butter rather than unsalted, but yeah, it's pretty much thin slices of fresh cucumber on two slices of buttered white bread with the crust cut off.

It's not meant to be a full meal in itself or by itself, but is instead meant to accompany tea like for tea time in England; I ate it at Heathrow the last time I was waiting for a layover flight.

I see...

I would personally move both fried chicken and turkey several categories up

Fried chicken is fine, but I just haven't ever eaten a truly delicious one before. That's why I didn't rank it any higher or lower than B-tier.

Not sure which turkey sandwich you mean, but I'll assume you're talking about turkey club. They're just boring; they're the kind of sandwiches you'd either get on a cheap tour in a foreign country or what you get from your teachers during a field trip if you forgot to bring your own lunch along. It's basically the "cubicle office job" of sandwiches.

I always imagined lung as chewy and kind of rubbery.

There was some chew and intestine-like rubber to it, but the crunchy bones(?) were the most bizarre part of it.

Pig ears also have the crunchy bones

You can chew and swallow

The diagram is interesting. Is there a web site where people can access and easily use it to make their own visual arrangement?

I think I've eaten pig's ears before, as part of head cheese-esque foods.

Over here, you can buy it downstairs.

It looks like this

Would you buy?

That looks great, what with the sauce.

Indeed, the soy sauce brings out the best in the meat

I enjoy eating cucumber tea sandwiches with tea, as befitting their intended purpose; but I acknowledge that they're one of the blander sandwiches out there, and so I chose to rank it in the "not actually that good, but I still kinda like them in a very specific circumstance" tier.

Seems a bit scary to me

I once had to bring 35KG of cucumbers from the farmer's market to my kitchen.

It was cucumbersome.

That idiomatic phrase is called, "Bok Choi", in Chinese.

Maybe, it's just 5kg, instead of 35kg.

We're not talking about slabs of butter here, just slicking the bread with some, very thin, add cucumbers. Radishes with butter are nice, too, especially for breakfast.

It's delicious! Please try it sometime.

Also, my favourite fruit is cherry.

I love cherries.

My other picks would be strawberries, blueberries, seedless grapes (when sweet).

Watermelon is a strange case where I don’t like the fruit itself that much but I love it as a bubble gum flavor and when it’s made into sweetened juice.

O... I'm still not convinced it'll taste good though

Only the British can ruin such a fine piece of food.
