How many of you are chronic sandwich eaters?

Sorry, no pictures, but here is a description:

- Whole wheat bread
- Soy mayo, flax seed oil, and a little bit of lemon juice
- Sliced Irish Dubliner cheese
- A lot of turkey
- Horseradish and mustard
- red onion
- tomato
- broccoli sprouts
- olive oil glazed on one side

All organic as well, and while that might not mean anything to some people I find the difference in flavor to be incredible.

I tend to work a lot, so I need to be able to maximize the nutritional value of something that's easy to prepare. I eat sandwiches all the time, and people tend to poke fun as though their Hamburger Helper is somehow superior.

Is a sandwich a worthwhile culinary pursuit? Any thoughts on my sandwich? 😀

You should try it, it's really delicious. Tomato + olive oil == fantastic.

Nope. Why?

Arthur Dent becomes the Sandwich Maker for his tribe, there are a couple beautiful pages about his construction of the perfect sandwich. Here's a sample--

The chief among the knives, of course, was the carving knife. This was the knife that would not merely impose its will on the medium through which it moved, as did the bread knife. It must work with it, be guided by the grain of the meat, to achieve slices of the most exquisite consistency and translucency, that would slide away in filmy folds from the main hunk of meat. The Sandwich Maker would then flip each sheet with a smooth flick of the wrist onto the beautifully proportioned lower bread slice, trim it with four deft strokes and then at last perform the magic that the children of the village so longed to gather round and watch with rapt attention and wonder. With just four more dexterous flips of the knife he would assemble the trimmings into a perfectly fitting jigsaw of pieces on top of the primary slice. For every sandwich the size and shape of the trimmings were different, but the Sandwich Maker would always effortlessly and without hesistation assemble them into a pattern which fitted perfectly. A second layer of meat and a second layer of trimmings, and the main act of creation would now be accomplished.

A much more romantic recapitulation of the process than I could articulate. Thanks 😀
