On the surface, eating or making a sandwich can seem like a pretty mundane task. They usually do their job, filling someone up and maybe even leaving a little mayonnaise to clean up afterwards. But, seemingly once in a lifetime, a sandwich will come along that will defy all expectations. Bringing the lucky customer to a sense of euphoria, and for that brief moment, everything seems perfect. Twitter use @marthajsharpe wanted to hear people's stories surrounding this phenomenon, and people really delivered.
Do you ever think about a sandwich you ate years ago? Like out of nowhere.
My parents used to frequent a candy store in Rogers Park in Chicago where the woman also sold sandwiches- they actually dissected it one day so they could make it themselves and to this day, our family calls them Millie sandwiches after the store owner.
The Jewish Cuban Sandwich (Corned beef and salami with Swiss, pickles, mustard, and mayo), purchased in Miami Beach three years ago. It was glorious and still haunts me. pic.twitter.com/evW3Z8uyq9
this made me think of my late friend tobey. we were very fond of the sandwiches at paseo in seattle. we called them "breakup sandwiches" because they are so good, you're already thinking of how sad the end will be when you take your first bite. i miss her texts about them.
About five years ago, I went to Devil Dawgs in the South Loop and got a Rooster -- buttermilk fried chicken, egg, bacon, pickle and sauce on a pretzel bun.
Some days I walk the beach, write its name in the sand with my big toe, and then watch sadly as the waves erase its glory. https://t.co/lvEOJmkFPZ
