A sandwich is a food item typically consisting of two pieces of bread between which are laid one or more layers of meat, vegetable, cheese or other fillings, together with optional or traditionally provided condiments, sauces, and other accompaniments. The bread is used as is, lightly buttered, or covered in a flavoured oil to enhance flavour and texture.
Sandwiches are commonly carried to work or school in lunchboxes or brown paper bags (in sandwich bags) to be eaten as the midday meal, taken on picnics, hiking trips, or other outings. They are also served in many restaurants as entrées, and are sometimes eaten at home, either as a quick meal or as part of a larger meal. As part of a full meal sandwiches are traditionally accompanied with such side dishes as a serving of soup (soup-and-sandwich), a salad (salad-and-sandwich), or potato chips and a pickle or coleslaw.
Variations
The term "sandwich" has been expanded—especially in the
United States—to include items made with other types of bread, such as
rolls and
focaccia. Thus
hamburgers and "
subs", for example, are called "sandwiches" on the
East Coast of the
United States, but not in the
Midwest,
South or western states, or in most other English-speaking countries (since such "sandwiches" are not made with slices of bread from a
loaf).
