The sandwich is such a conflicting food item. The span of ideas within this umbrella of essentially any filling squished between bread has deterred me from eating them for a long time.
On one end of the spectrum, the sandwich is hailed for its portability, convenience, and affordability. All throughout elementary school, my mom made me peanut butter and sugar sandwiches between two slices of 60% wheat bread for lunch every – single – day. From those years, I equated sandwiches to something just meant to fill me up.
