EDiM # 14 - "Sandwich"
Return with me now to those brave and thrilling days of yesteryear when a sandwich was Miracle Whip and mustard from clunky glass jars on bread with probably no nutritive value whatsoever, but was soft and white and squishy delicious with every bit of whole bran removed and was cut into two halves (across or diagonal? - the argument rages on) but maybe had the crusts cut off. It was filled with silky golden Velvet cheese sliced right off the end of the brick with a rolly-wire slicer, or maybe a couple of smooth fragrant rounds of braunschweiger liverwurst. Vegetable of the day? Leaves of iceberg lettuce added in for sweet crunch. Sides on the plate? Bread and butter pickles and potato chips. Served with a glass of cold milk, or maybe, if you were lucky, a hand-sized glass bottle of Coca Cola (the kind with ALL the sugar left in.
THOSE were lunch sandwiches, children. And it is noon. I want one NOW!!!!
