What makes a tasty sandwich?

Bacon, cheese, fried onions and salad cream on a large white cob. Well done bacon though…..yummy..or controversial I know but I love Welsh Rarebit

So do I but I didn't know about it being controversial

Well I thought because it’s not officially a sandwich filling 

Yes, a sandwich requires food to be placed (sandwiched) between two slices of bread. 

I could never understand the open ‘sandwich’ thing either.

I think "open sandwich" is a misnomer too, I think they're common in Scandinavian countries as part of a smorgasbord, but they tend to have rye bread thats a lot less floppy than normal English bread.

I’ve had this argument at the local cafe, it’s a converted stables that also does evening meals / bar.

On the lunch menu is  ‘open sandwiches,’ I insisted that it’s egg on toast or cheese etc. I was informed,”no,” it’s an open sandwich, my understanding is The Earl of Sandwich placed food between two slices of bread and was able to carry on playing cards, not one piece of bread that requires a knife and fork!
