You thought this was a sandwich? TURNS OUT IT WAS CAKE. The waiter who brought it to you? ALSO CAKE. Your wife of fifteen years? Cake.

When every kitchen concoction was quiet revenge for getting slapped around on a daily basis
At first I thought it might be some kind of mayo situation, but the cream cheese is somehow worse?
Honestly the cream cheese component is the only part that throws it off.
Agreed. (A slice of ham and tomato on an egg salad sandwich is where it’s at btw) I do like cream cheese, but it’s completely unnecessary here. At least it’s not whipped cream lol.
Of all the kitchy 60s cuisine, this might be the least offensive to me. If you’re gonna mke a “cake” out of a sandwich though, you need something on the outside. Which breaks the deal because you really can’t use anything. Honestly cream cheese is the only thing I can even imagine. Maybe butter, but how much butter can you have lol.
Maybe, possibly, if you can make an icing out of Swiss?
I’d still rather just make canapes or something.

Yes, except it was really mostly just the 50s-60s with a bit into the 70s before sanity was regained. Source: aspic, motherfuckers!

So basically you thoroughly considered that aspic of the situation? ;-)
Here we called that « pain sandwich », didn’t think it existed outside of Quebec

My great grandma always made this dish that me and my cousins called “pink salad”. It had both Jell-O and cottage cheese in it but I can’t recall the other ingredients. The texture was so unsettling to us.
edit: I think it was this. I like the ingredients by themselves but can’t handle them together. +retches+

The only thing bad about it is the presentation. Making it look like a cake and serving it in slices is playing games with people’s expectations of what sweet and savory are supposed to look like. We’d have no problem with these same ingredients served as finger sandwiches.
