The sandwich: Humankind’s most perfect meal
Seriously… what’s not to like about the sandwich? I can think of only good things:
- Fast and easy preparation
- Consumption requires only one hand (freeing the other one for cards)
- Most, if not all, food groups are represented
- Only one dish need be washed afterward
- Goes well with beer
In case you’re wondering, the above example is a fine turkey pastrami ($4.99/lb at the grocery) on rye bread with cheddared cheese and Dijon mustard. A deli meat sandwich is made even more perfect with the addition of potato chips and a pickled cucumber, which, of course, represents the fruit and vegetable group.
