American cuisine[edit]

The tomato sandwich seems to be an American thing. If you google it, the vast majority of hits will be from US sites. Of course, British people eat tomatoes in sandwiches, but usually in small quantities with other ingredients, particularly cheese. There is no tradition of the American style dish. --Ef80 (talk) 14:16, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I looked up this article just a little while ago as I was on the Instagram for BuzzFeed Oz and they mentioned tomato sandwiches (something about a list of most reviled Aussie brown bag lunch items for school kids, I think. It's the first time I had heard of such a thing (In America, we do have BLT's/BLTA's [with avocado]). Not sure how common it is in Australia.

North Carolina[edit]

I think it's a stretch, given the text of the section I am referring to, to say that it's any kind of tradition in North Carolina specifically, in any part of the year. The source linked to just doesn't back up the text of the wiki that I'm referring to "In the state of North Carolina they are most commonly associated with summer". It may be true, but the source doesn't indicate season, nor indicate that other states don't see tomato sandwiches as a tradition. But I'll leave it up incase somebody can fix or clarify this issue.
