3 French Dip Sandwich Recipes

In American cuisine a French dip sandwich, also known as a beef dip, is a hot sandwich consisting of thinly sliced roast beef on a "French roll" or baguette. It is usually served au jus, that is, with beef juice from the cooking process. Beef broth or beef consommé is sometimes substituted. Despite the name, this American specialty is almost completely unknown in France.

French dip sandwich recipes are very well-liked. The French dip sandwich was invented by accident by a Frenchman, but he was not living in France. He had emigrated to the United States and was living in Los Angeles. Philippe Mathieu had opened his sandwich bar and delicatessen known as 'Philippe The Original' on North Alameda Street in 1908, but the Eureka moment came ten years later when a policeman came in to buy a beef sandwich.

Philippe accidentally dropped it in the pan in which the beef had been cooked, but served it up anyway. The policeman came back with a couple of friends the next day to taste the 'dipped' sandwich and the French dip sandwich was born. The sandwich bar is still there and still serving French style sandwich recipes nearly 90 years later.

Being French, Philippe would have called his sandwiches 'au jus', which means 'with juice', but many Americans do not know this and ask for their French dip sandwiches 'with au jus'. These days, the sauce is frequently specially prepared or concocted separately so that it is far more elaborate than merely the simple juices from the tray, but you can make it as complex or as simple as you wish. There is also no reason why you can not make up vegetarian or fish French style sandwich recipes.

Why The Pepper So Hot? #SandwichRecipesWorldwide

Pepper is not only delicious, but also can prevent food spoilage and extend the function of the storage time. The ancient Mayans used a mixture of pepper drugs to heal infected wounds, gastrointestinal diseases, and ear pain. The experiment proved that the pepper extract is a pharmaceutical raw material that can inhibit the growth of some microbial pathogenicity. But these are clearly not reason why chili evolved spicy.

The peppers spicy is from capsaicin. Capsaicin can stimulate the nerves on the tongue and skin sensor. These nerve sensors also responsible for the feelings of temperature rise. View on neurons and brain, the feeling of your mouth is not much different with fired. When the temperature rises to a certain extent, it will stimulate the secretion of adrenaline, resulting in rapid heart beat. The scientists say these the reaction is precisely the reason why people fascinated with pepper.

Human use pepper as spices have been at least 8,000 years. At the beginning, they used wild pepper. Adding some while in the production of potatoes, corn and cereals. Ancient Americas began planting pepper as early as 6000 years ago. But for the main purpose of pepper also controversial at that time.

In the process of research different varieties of pepper containing spiciness, the capsaicin manufacturer found that the lower the capsaicin concentration the higher the degree of fungal infections. In addition, the fungus in wet environments is the most active, but Bolivias pepper spiciness seems as the humidity changes: the environment is humid, the higher the degree of local capsaicin. In the laboratory, the discovery of the fungus in a spicy pepper easily trace capsaicin suppression, while in the high degree of spicy chili, fungus can withstand a higher concentration of capsaicin.

The capsaicin show the beauty of evolution. Plants with a special chemical substances against microbial --- human use of pepper borrow the same principle to preserve food --- but capsaicin does not prevent the birds dispersing seeds.
