It's not for nothing the Swedish word for sandwich is our most internationally used word. Truly an amazing achivement. I like to get these two foot long baguettes from the nearby store, hot out of the oven, and fill them with mushroom-flavored or some other interesting cheese, a variety of meats, hard cheese, cucumber, pickled cucumber, olives and fresh spinach.
On reflection, most of the great foods of the day are mutations of the sandwich. Kebab, hamburger, pizza, taco, burrito. In the middle ages we were infamously subsisting on bread for 80% of our meals; I think we still do.
