Much like John Montague the 4th the Earl of Sandwich I am a HUGE fan of placing my meal between two slices of bread and calling it a sandwich. Sandwiches are the epitome of genius simplicity and I could (if my ass allowed it) eat them for every meal. I could seriously go all Bubba Gump on sandwiches (egg sandwiches, peanut butter sandwiches, peanut butter and cheese sandwiches, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches, hot sandwiches, cold sandwiches...) Sandwiches are virtually fool proof in their simplistic and endlessly forgiving nature, what is not to like? In 5 minutes and with minimal effort even the most inept cook can come out with a delicious and nutritious meal slapped between two slices of bread. Overall sandwiches are hard to mess up, that is, unless you work at the "cafe" at the hospital.
I've never seen people struggle so much sandwich assemblage as the staff at the hospital cafe. In my extensive sandwich experiences I have found that after condiment the bread, it is most common to then pile cheese, meat, veggies etc on to one of the slices of bread and the put the other piece of bread on top. This is not so at said hospital cafe. Instead they pile meat and cheese on one side, condiments and veggies on the other and then upend the veggie side over the meat side. If you've made a sandwich in your time you may be seeing the problem with this system. It's not just one stoned-out-of his-mind sammich maker who does this, they ALL do this. It is painful to watch this process, not to mention time consuming.
Sandwiches should be made with care and love, not reckless abandon for it's innards.
That is all.
