No stomach staples here. Moderation is the reason. As you can see, the
bread I love (O Lord, you should taste the croutons I make with it.
Heaven.) is hearth baked, so the slices vary in size. I don't trim the
smaller pieces on the ends.

It's what I grew up eating. It is technically indeed real mayonaise, but
would probably not meet your standards. I have made the "real thing"
fresh. Nice enough for many purposes, but for a sandwich for myself,
Best Foods ( Hellman's East of the Rockies) is it.. No Kraft, no
"healthy stuff", none of those odd Southern brands, just the one I like.

You may not like dill pickles. I don't much like pickled onions. And
yes, I've had proper home made British ones. I'm also fussy about my
cucumber pickles. The Claussen's aren't technically fully pickled, being
what they call here refrigerator pickles. Sold cold and with much more
limited shelf life even cold than the other sort. And I don't put them
in many things.
The question you didn't ask is about tomatoes in winter, which it is
here. I go back and forth on that. They don't really have much taste,
but what they do have elicits memories of the summer heirloom tomatoes.
mmmmmmmmmmmm.......... My brother and his wife left a care bag of
perishables on our doorstep on their way to Italy, so I ate them.
Milano in winter? Only grandparents would make that trip.
Nothing nasty to say about the mustard? Wrong sort of lettuce? A decent
pastrami, but not the best. The local deli stopped carrying it, so I
don't always have it anymore. :-( Sliced properly thin, though.
Did I mention the sandwich was for me? And that I don't give a &$)#*%
whether you would like it. I loved it, but it was pretty messy, so I
couldn't fondle the camera while eating.
