The bbq looks crap. The Italian meal looks more than acceptable to me. And I've eaten cheese sandwiches like that for ages, they're good.

Sad meal competition: $30 Italian Meal vs. Butter & Cheese Sandwich vs. Brooklyn BBQ
- Thread starter ElectricBlanketFire

Holy shit this thread is making me laugh my fucking head off LMAO
I voted for the Brooklyn BBQ because it represents New York hubris at it's most comical, plus those pickles are pathetic as fuck lmao

I can't hate on the italian meal because maybe it really is good and just presented terribly. Cheese sandwich is sad because it's no effort, no love, and clearly alone. But Brooklyn BBQ is s fucking smug about itself. It's more infuriating than sad. Cheese sandwich it is.
Comparing a butter and cheese sandwich which costs like 15p to two full priced meals is kinda weird.
Man, they're all bad for different reasons.
Italian meal is bad because the dude was so excited posting it like it was this huge treat.
Struggwich is funny because it perfectly embodies European video game forum off topic smugness.
BBQ is awful because it embodies NYC smugness.
How can you choose?

Italian meal was probably good though overpriced. They never opened the container to show what was in it either.
The Brooklyn BBQ thing requires a lot of context in that article. They charge by weight and the guy doing the article seemingly ordered a ton of food already so he didn't need that much more meat.
I just still don't even know what to make of a butter and cheese sandwich. Like...at least fry the thing. Easily the worst.

Sandwich definitely wins "sad", so that's what I voted, but at least it cost nothing. Those other things are not only pathetic but expensive.
It's quite a small portion. America is obese. That's why, mostly. Maybe also the presentation, but I believe the one who took the pic presented it like that, which is fine. But the food is paid for by weight, and if that was my last plate, I've been there. Sometimes you just wanna snack + a beer and chill at the end of a buffet or whatever. I'm sure it's over-priced knowing it's NYC, however. So fuck 'emmmm.
Plus, I can do better at home for 9$ and feed three.
The BBQ is the saddest, driest, saddest meal I ever seen...and I had a spam sandwich the other day.
I'm sorry but it baffles me that people voted for anything other than a cheese sandwich. You guys are fucking high.
Damn..I wasn't ready for that Brooklyn BBQ; like holy shit it's hilarious/sad/and awful at the same damn time!!!
How's that a thing? people never been to a good BBQ joint that's for sure...

That BBQ is so rough. I give it to the Italian Meal simply because I remember the original thread where OP was saying he was so stoked to be having a good meal, but then everyone ragged on him and he said he didn't have much money, overpaid, and that the food wasn't good.
That's sad.
The Euro struggle sandwich looks tasty tho. It's a wysiwyg type meal and there's no shame in that.
But OMG that BBQ is a fucking insult. The patheticness of those sides is almost worse than no sides at all.

It's a Brooklyn BBQ place in Barcelona lol
Edit: Actually nevermind, that place is in NY. Author is putting different pictures of food from multiple restaurants. But yeah, it only looks like a small portion because everyone in America is too used to having more than they can actually eat. If you serve that in another country most people would be full.
That Strugglewich thread on GAF is the GOAT of all GAF threads and I will not accept any other answers.
Though that BBQ is sad as fuck.
They're all so very sad but the cheese on bread looks like it would taste the saddest. Those cheese slices could be the world's softest camembert and it'd still be sad. Nuke it in the microwave and put a pepperoni on top and call it a pizza and it still wouldn't be any more sad.
At least with the "Italian meal" I could dunk my face in the bread loaf. And those pickles in the "BBQ" picture look good despite their presence offending my southern sensibilities.

You guys need to stop hating on that sandwich. Ima go make myself one right now, it will take all of 30s, it is going down with a glass of milk and it is going to be good.
Needs beans if it's for breakfast. Also, idk about you but it's incredibly rare I make a sandwich like that unless 2 things happen at the same time: 1.) I'm out of all other coldcuts and 2.) I am hungover or drunk at 3am. And there would be dabs of hotsauce on deck.
Italian meal looks good, but it's clearly overpriced.
Butter cheese sandwich is plain, but unpretentious - it's not claiming nor striving to be great.
Brooklyn BBQ just looks pathetic despite the fact that it's clearly trying to be good.
Brooklyn BBQ is saddest, IMO.

The accompanying article is what makes the Brooklyn BBQ my winner. The sheer New Yorkness of it.
Easily option 3. The italian meal is just a shitty picture and there's nothing wrong with a simple sandwich.
The $30 Italian meal looks like a $15 Italian meal that someone got gouged on. Not bad, just overpriced, and packaged in unaesthetic packaging because delivery or something.
The Brooklyn BBQ you at least have a couple flavors. And, even though the rolls are about two weeks old, maybe the meat isn't as dry as it looks!
The cheese on bread looks like Fyre Fest food.
Winner: Cheese on bread.

Me neither, but Americans don't have cheese, so they don't understand.
Some brötchen, butter, slices of cheese, and tea or coffee for breakfast is fucking great. But you have to have quality products and of course breads and cheeses are abundant in variety and quality in Europe.
Why is it called a butter and cheese sandwich? I've never heard butter mentioned with a sandwich? Just a cheese sandwich?
The problem with the BBQ is the portion size, that's about it though. $30 Italian meal has always been more about the price to quality ratio rather than the quality outright. Butter and cheese sandwich though... fuck man, that's the house special at Creme De La Struggle.
