  • I liked the sandwich, but I wouldn't call it German-Style. Germans hardly ever put sauces or lettuce and tomato on their sandwiches. I should know a little about this, I am German and lived my first 27 years in Germany.

  • I liked these on the rye bread, but the onion was too much. My spouse liked them without the onion or sauce.

  • I'm not so sure this would be a great recipe. The ingredients call for "thinly sliced RED onions", yet the directions tell us to combine applesauce, horseradish & GREEN onions. The RED onions are mentioned later to add on to the sandwich. So ... how many sliced GREEN onions are we supposed to use?
