About the dish

Pheasant salad sandwich is a traditional sandwich originating from South Dakota. It dates back to World War II, when it was made in local canteens for traveling soldiers. Back then, the sandwiches were given out free of charge and consisted of pheasant meat, bread, mayonnaise, relish, celery, carrots, onions, and hard-boiled eggs. Although the time of war has passed, the sandwich remained a South Dakota specialty, but now it's made in a modern version with pheasant meat, apples, pecans, cranberries, Swiss cheese, and grilled marbled rye bread.
