"Sandwich, sandwich on the wall, who is the yummiest of them all?" This could be the most asked question about a culinary delight that has cut through all barriers to become the most beloved snack in the world.

To define a sandwich, we could say it is a food object with two or more slices of bread with fillings between them. An open face sandwich on the other hand refers to a slice of bread with one or more toppings over it. This widely popular food item is a great takeaway no matter what time of the day you plan to have it. On a picnic, or in your lunch box, or for dinner at a sit-down eatery, any time is sandwich time!

Known to man since Neolithic times, the sandwich in one form or another has always existed. Where earlier coarse bread or 'trenchers' were used as plates, today it has taken up the place as a wholesome meal for everyone. From simply being a treat for gambling men, it moved up the food cadre to aristocratic dinner parties. This popular quick meal grew in popularity across different continents and in America it has became almost a staple dietary item in itself.

The types of sandwiches make a very long list and each day you see some more additions to the already growing menu. Let us check out some of the famous ones from different continents. To start with there is the tomato chutney sandwich or Vada Pav from India, and fancy Tea sandwiches from England.

In America Dagwood sandwiches and Hamburgers are available everywhere. Sweden invented the Open Face sandwich laden with all sorts of delicacies. There is the Panini from Italy, the Shawarma from the Middle-East, the Croque-Monsieur from France, and the Roti John from Singapore and Malaysia. When in Mexico be sure to indulge in a Torta, and why not try Elvis's favourite peanut butter and banana concoction.

No matter which culture you check up on, there is hardly any that does not like the sandwich. Served everywhere, you can easily find yourself chowing down on one at a fast food restaurant, an upscale hotel or even a lowscale one. Even in our own kitchens, we always seem to have lots of items on hand to slap together a sandwich. Some people love to take one to work each day while others have it as their last meal on their way to bed.

There are so many different types of sandwiches that you can ask for. A hotdog, hoagie, belly burner, or even a hero. When you come to think of it, the sandwich is the king of food because it helps you to bring all kinds of good stuff together. A great sandwich is usually one that combines fresh bread, fresh salad, condiments and fillings, whatever your heart desires.

For the fast-paced lifestyles of today, the sandwich is the very best quickly made meal. It became popular because of its easy mobility and delicious taste. The best part of having a sandwich is that you can try all sorts of innovations, and the more you explore, the more you are going to fall in love with this appetizing delight.
