Good sandwiches are not dainty. If you eat a good sandwich properly, your cheeks will be smeared with mustard and your new white button down will be stained with tiny flecks of balsamic. There's no proper way to go about eating a sandwich. There's just a gnashing of teeth, and a wild grab for napkins.
