Sandwiches of History recipes by year, charted in two subplots seperated by years before and after (inclusive) 1900. The earliest recipe is 1777. There is some concentration around the late 1800s, though most is concentrated around 1900-1940. The highest charted year is 1936, with just under 160 recipes.
The earliest, in 1777? That's sandwich, folks

as I work on a much larger effort with matplotlib, here’s a little aside I put together scraping the titles from every video on sandwiches of history, which got dumped in my recs last month. if you’re not familiar, barry every day prepares a sandwich that he sources from old cookbooks and other recipes, then scores the taste out of 10. it’s shortform video in the polite sense of that category, and it tends to be a nice routine break as I try to swim upstream flooded by vtuber clips. if only I also had a daily sandwich to eat, and weren’t stuck with holographic meatloaf again.

sandwiches of history scratches the sort of itch that ordinary sausage does, though without a performing affect and a mark ruffalo sidekick. that doesn’t, however, also stop him from venturing into historical stupid food, which is also a returning presence on this site. if you’re in that lane as well, remember that an additional lane always solves everything and that you can plus things up with his second channel, in the chips. or you can go to one of his live events, it seems? vaudeville really has changed.
