Spreads for Sandwiches

A sandwich spread is a liquid or paste-like dressing usually applied to the bread element of the sandwich. Sandwich spreads are intended to fulfill several functions:

• Form a liquid-resistant barrier that prevents a moist filling from seeping into the bread and making it soggy.
• Add moisture and a rich, smooth mouthfeel to sandwiches having less moist fillings.
• Help the sandwich hold together by acting as a kind of glue, binding the bread, filling, and internal garnishes to one another.
• Add a particular flavor or combination of flavors to the sandwich.
• Add a particular color to the sandwich’s visual effect.
