I had never heard of it before but it is indeed a thing. I read you can celebrate by creating new and creative sandwiches and I immediately thought of one but met with resistance from Linda. First I couldn’t find another woman to play the other slice and when I asked Linda for help I just got the usual eye roll, head shake and sigh. Apparently it was not that kind of sandwich. She seemed to think a creative sandwich meant unusual breads, meats, gourmet cheeses. What a buzz kill.
Besides, if we are going to celebrate the sandwich in its pedestrian form, we must honor the one sandwich truly without peer; a sandwich enjoyed by toddlers and octogenarians alike; a sandwich that will be on the menu in perpetuity. The sandwich that blends the spirit of the trailer park, bowling alley and roller derby into one trashy package: It is the Kardashian equivalent of the meat and bread combo! A sandwich of the people. Fried bologna on white bread with mayonnaise.
One please, extra mayo!
