What Makes a Sandwich?


No, I never did work for Subway, so one cannot say I am a sandwich artist, but I do know what turns two hunks of bread into something beautiful. Here are some ingredients that will take your sandwich to the next level.

1. Mustard - Number one for good reason. Don't know if you can call something without mustard a sandwich

2. Rye Bread- Dark or light rye bread. Adds another dimension of flavor.

3. Crisp, Fresh Cucumber - Cucumber must be added fresh or the water makes the sandwich soggy, which basically ruins it. Cucumbers add a bit of crunch that adds to the texture element of the sandwich

4. Turkey - Turkey is alright, but leftover turkey in a sandwich, WOW

5. Salt - Salt just brings out the flavor of everything, makes the eating experience that much better

6. Miracle Whip (Probably shouldn't mix MW with Mustard though, MW is more of a replacement for those who haven't learned to fully appreciated mustard)

7. Green Onions - Green onions bring a unique flavor that can't be replaced.

8. Alfalfa Sprouts - Makes the sandwich large, yet light. They are the perfect filler for a sandwich

Now go build a sandwich.

WHATTTTT? No Tomatoes!!!!!!

tomatoes are tricky because they can instantly make you sandwich soggy from their high water content. This is unacceptable and should be avoided; the sandwich quality decreases tremendously when soggy.
