Now My Life Can Begin In Earnest

Sandwich time is fun time now that I realize the most important element of any sandwich is salt. Warner Brothers knew it; that's why whenever Daffy Duck is stranded on a life raft and imagines his partner to be a giant sandwich, he commences to salt him.

Most elements of a sandwich, were they not layered, would be awfully under-salted. Cheese isn't usually salty, bread is bland, and vegetables are notoriously low in sodium. Meat is fairly savory, but it's not enough to carry a sandwich by itself. If, like me, you always found sandwiches to be a little neutral, well, now you know the reason why. Just salt each layer as you assemble it, and I think you too will climb on board the salt locomotive.
