anatomy of a perfect sandwich

this particular first edition: The Classic Roast Beef & Swiss



(actual sammie)

to start:
toast 2 pieces (level 8) pepperidge farm family size white bread


side one:
mayo
on top of which apply a heavy layer of horseradish and freshly cracked back pepper (i kind of mixed mine around making a very simple sauce of sorts)
follow with 3 thinly sliced pieces of rare seasoned roast beef
add one large slice of a ripe tomato split in half, that has been salted and peppered to taste
next add red onion slices, cut into small enough pieces to break with the bite

side two:
a generous portion of nathans famous deli mustard
(good to know i can buy that in an 8 pack from amazon)
a thin to medium thickness slice of swiss

put together and slice on a diagonal





this is in fact what i do with my time
perfect
