  • About
Virtually all sandwiches are constructed from four basic elements:
  1. Bread
  2. Spread
  3. Filling
  4. Internal garnishes
The bread and filling are the essential elements. In fact, the earliest sandwiches consisted of bread and filling only—and some people still prefer such sandwiches. However, without a spread, most sandwiches have a dry mouth-feel, and without internal garnishes they lack textural contrast. Most modern sandwiches include all four basic elements.
