I wish there were places in the States that made those little sandwiches. Was in Berlin recently, and every corner bakery makes them. Delicious, and super cheap.

Your home? I've found that they can make whatever I want...

EDIT: This wasn't a cuckold joke- just a remark that you can to a large degree command your diet

Non-native speaker here. Why could this be understood as a cuckold joke? (My dictionary says this about cuckold: "The husband of an adulteress, often regarded as an object of derision.")

Because "Your home? I've found that they can make whatever I want..." suggests that _qhtn is in the habit of getting breakfast at douche's home (and can get "anything I want"!), and that douche doesn't know this.

Haha, I doubt you're giving me horns

Of course when you make it yourself you can do whatever you like (although you lose the economies of scale).

Trying to get something on the go in this area pretty much means you're reduced to Dunkin Donuts, Mickey D's, or whatever paltry offerings the gas station Quik-e-mart carries, though.

Sorry- a bit sauced. I wasn't!

You can get Bánh mì in many places in the US which sound similar.

Interesting; that does look like a certain type of sandwich popular in the EU. Where does the name come from?

I'd personally be looking for something like this;

and that's not that easy to find abroad. Bad cheese or bad bread but usually both unfortunately.

It's Vietnamese.

For what you pictured, just buy some nice cheese and bread and make them and stuff them in a ziploc bag or tupperware.

That bread looks a bit too soft to satisfy a true Central European.

Schnitzelbrötchen is also good.

Yes, it's Dutch bread, which is much softer than German bread.

Bagel shops? You will have to choose a shop that cooks the bagels with the desired density. The bagel shop I go to will put whatever combination of eggs, bacon, cold cuts, cream cheese, vegetables, and avocado I ask for.

Bagels are very far removed from the sort of thing you would get in a typical bakery or sandwich shop here. So much that I could eat a granary sandwich from my local bakery any time, no matter what I ate before, while I can eat a bagel if i'm very hungry and everything else is closed. I tried as my wife loves them but they are not related IMHO besides that they are considered 'bread'.
