The Creation of the Sandwich
February 17th, 2008
Below is written an excerpt from the Book of Sandwich (ch. II)
…so Steve the Baker looked down upon what he had created and saw that it was delicious. And upon this leavened bread did he spread spicy brown mustard, declaring that of the sandwich condiments, spicy brown mustard was superior to mayonnaise. And upon this spicy brown mustard did he place ham sliced so thin that the atoms themselves did tremble in fear. And upon this ham did he place a slice of cheese forged from the milk of Mother Earth herself. So did he place the final slice of leavened bread on the sandwich. But as the people looked on, he did declare that the sandwich was not complete. So did he place the sandwich into the oven and infuse it with the purifying heat of a thousand suns, and so he waited.
…And he removed the sandwich from the oven, and the people saw that the cheese had melted but the bread had not burned. Such was the first miracle of the sandwich. He then looked down upon the sandwich and declared that it was still delicious. And so it was.
