Burnt Weeny Sandwich is the seventh album by the American rock band the Mothers of Invention, and the ninth overall by Frank Zappa, released in 1970. It consists of both studio recordings and live elements. It was the first of two albums - the second being its follow-up Weasels Ripped My Flesh - assembled by Zappa from unreleased leftover recordings by the band after their late 1969 split. Burnt Weeny Sandwich focuses mostly on studio recordings and tightly arranged compositions, while Weasels Ripped My Flesh focuses mostly on live recordings and loose/improvisational pieces.
