Aw man, I was just doing a meme.  I don't actually have a strong opinion on the "are hotdogs open-faced sandwiches" issue.  I kinda forgot that some people get aggressive about it, which is silly.

I dunno, I tend to think that piling things onto bread should work pretty well, provided it's mixed well enough. The guys at the sandwich shop seem to layer things on in this order:
meat, cheese, lettuce (shredded), tomato (sliced) with mustard and mayo on the supper bun. That may just as well be for standardization as for quality, though. I don't think I've ever eaten a sandwich that felt wrong because the things were in the wrong order. (This HAS happened with burritos, though.)
Another place did a strange thing where they wrapped the meat and cheese slices around the lettuce and tomato, like a wrap but in a sub bun.

Also I asked some of my family for their thoughts on this question and they say to only use ingredients that are good individually (like, that you'd be willing to have a bit of by themselves), to have some balance (balance is practically the whole point of the sandwich, do keep it in mind!), and to NOT USE WHITE BREAD, which does not qualify as food.

As you might imagine, we're all pretty passionate about sandwiches here.

...And while I was away with this post half-written to eat dinner, SIX replies come up, almost all about the stupid hotdog question, which isn't even relevant here.
Regardless of a hotdog's classification, one should apply the same sort of thinking: use good things, have some balance. The hotdog may just be a wad of meat in a bun by default so you can have a bit more leeway in terms of disbalance, something like relish or sauerkraut will act nicely.


So; there's your real reply to this very serious and dire question. Shame on all of you who replied with shitposts to this poor wayward soul, merely seeking advice on sandwich enlightenment.

For some kinds of sandwich, the order in which things are applied can result in unpleasant mouth-feel, such as soggy bread, or lack of condiment potency.
Tomato right next to bread is a bad idea, as the tomato will moisten the bread and make it soggy-- etc.

I wouldn't call these rules per se, more general guidelines.

Well you'll generally not want to leave your sandwich uneaten long enough for it to get soggy. Because you're hungry, dude.

What if you put the butter on the outside of the bun?

That's one of the steps to making grilled cheese properly.

Using individually-delicious ingredients is problematic when I'm hungry and harried enough to be making a sandwich.
But if there's time, and I'm feeling culinary, grilled-cheese with herbs and spices is the way to go.  Generally to sop up grease from a pan before cleaning, because wasting food feels bad.

Otherwise I just end up eating a salad piece-by-piece and also some bread.  Which works for me~

ninja'd by grilled cheese- wait, it's supposed to involve butter?  That sounds like cheating.

Butter the bread both sides. Sear on med-low heat in pan one side each slice. Flip over, put cheese on top each slice, cover with lid, check frequently.  Flip one slice over onto the other then remove from pan. Serve.

Also add a smattering of sugar and maybe mayo, apparently. Haven't done the latter 'cause I just don't like mayo, but a light bit of sugar is like a minimum 50% improvement to tonguejoy.

Is there a word for wanting what you can't have? I feel like there is and I know it, but it's escaped to the tip of my tongue.

How come processors have stopped obeying Moore's law?

I think it was largely because they were hitting the limit as to how small things could get with current techniques and materials.

I remember that back at training... when things heat up the logic gates become emotional and start behaving emotionally and suddenly they want a divorce.

We call them emotional gates. They get weird in the heat of the moment but when things cool down they are ok.
