new_man mocks me for my lack of love for sandwiches. I really don't like the classic sandwich - too much bread (I'm not much for bread), often flavorless meat, and I'd rather have the greens in a salad. But I do admit there's a few good sandwiches out there. They just don't happen to be in my company cafeteria very often.
Part of my sandwich dislike is from my elementary through high school experience - where I ate a sandwich every day. I really disliked most school lunches, so I had sandwich from home. 90% of the time it was:
- a peanut butter and jelly sandwich - later codified into Welch's Grape Jelly
But... that's not so unusual. Unusual was that I INSISTED it had to be cut a certain way:
- in half, separating bumpy top from square bottom
- the bumpy section in half again (now quarters) separating the two bumps
Why? you ask. Because it was a sofa and two chairs - just like the very square sofa and strange, half-circle 1970's style chairs we had in the den at home. Somehow this sandwich was in sync with my universe and thus, was Perfect.
It apparently didn't taste the same if it was cut any other way. This was a challenge with new baby sitters and out of town relatives - to explain the dire need to cut the sandwich correctly. My universe was not complete if the sandwich was not a lunch-time replication of our furniture.
And having non-traditional breat just blew my mind. White, Sunbeam Bread (blech) - not sourdough, or wheat or rye. Nope. And FOR THE LOVE OF GOD not some weird, round European bread that DOESN't HAVE A BUMPY SIDE AND A SQUARE SIDE! Heresy, I tell you.
This condition persisted for years.
But I'm much better now.
