Sandwich Basics

Sandwiches generally consist of a bread, a spread and a filling. In the most technical sense of the word. Bread serves primary as an edible container for the food inside, it can also provide the bulk and nutrients, regardless of the type, any bread used for a sandwich should ideally be used fresh. The spread serves three main purposes, it prevents the bread from soaking up the filling causing it to become soggy, it adds flavour as well as moisture to the sandwich.

Famous quotes containing the word sandwich:

    The river’s tent is broken; the last fingers of leaf
    Clutch and sink into the wet bank. The wind
    Crosses the brown land, unheard. The nymphs are departed.
    Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song.
    The river bears no empty bottles, sandwich papers,
    Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette ends
    Or other testimony of summer nights.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
