Sometimes I Wonder About SANDWICHES*


Eating sandwiches is a more regular experience for me as of late. During this past year at school, I have had the pleasure of frequenting a fresh establishment nearly twice a week. It gets kind of old, but I really do like it a lot.
I really like sandwiches in general. And, there are a lot of places around here that really make some delicious types(case in point, Panera Bread Co. They make some good ones.)
I looked at the history of sandwiches and learned that it didn't just start with the Earl of Sandwich, John Montague. Who knows exactly where they started, but whoever thought of putting different items between slices of bread-like material, we salute you.

What are your favorites? What is the weirdest combination?
Might I offer some suggestions? A la my dad, the tricky "Pork and Bean Sandwich." Seriously. He was a sandwich scientist (not to be confused with artist, which would qualify him to work for Subway). He had these things down. He could make a sandwich out of anything.

This post could branch into different directions (like hot dogs, fast food sandwiches, the hamburger, etc). Say what you want. But let's give it up for the Sandwich.



*Post Script: I recognize that this may be a play off of a previous post, but I'm getting back in the game. Give a minute or two to loosen up.
