sandwich
Filled bread pair
A sandwich is food between two pieces of bread—meat, cheese, vegetables, or combinations thereof.
The format extends to variations: open-faced sandwich, ice cream sandwich.
To sandwich something is to insert it between two other things: The meeting was sandwiched between two calls.
As an adjective, sandwich describes layered structures: sandwich panel, sandwich construction. (Capitalized Sandwich refers to the English town or the Earl whose gambling habits supposedly inspired the food.)
