Gorilla Sandwich is a trademark for the patented design of a cucumber sandwich, a carved out, stuffed cucumber where the actual cucumber is redesigned into a closed off container. It was created by Alex Stenzel in 2004 and first sold as a raw food at health food stores and Whole Foods in Los Angeles.

The Gorilla Sandwich is made from two cucumbers halves; one large 3/4 half container and one small 1/4 half lid. Both halves are carved out. The container is filled with ingredients and the lid is used to close it off similar like a cork plugs into a wine bottle. The lid can also be garnished e.g. with a cherry tomato. The ingredients are stuffed in layers into the container. The original Gorilla Sandwich is stuffed with walnut, avocado, black olives, black kale, mustard greens and dulse.

The Gorilla Sandwich may be the only patent issued by the USPO for the redesign of a non-processed whole vegetable or fruit.[2]

US design patent D527165 S1 Cucumber Sandwich

The cucumber sandwich patent which is the basis for the Gorilla Sandwich has astonished patent experts and received attention on blogs around the internet. [5]

The cucumber sandwich has been compared with Smucker's patented round peanut butter and jelly sandwich with no crust and Mc Donalds patent application a "Method and Apparatus for Making a Sandwich".[2] Patent expert Daniel Wright says, "I salute Alex Stenzel and his unprecented use of a cucumber: It's simple, it's elegant, and it's fashion model-friendly. It needed just one man, a knife, and a cucumber." The cucumber sandwich is a beauty of a design patent.[2]
