Report: Turkey Sandwiches An Excellent Source Of Turkey Sandwiches

August 28, 2008 | Issue 44•35

August 5, 1998

CHICAGO—Turkey sandwiches, long suspected of being a rich source of turkey sandwiches, were found to contain a substantial amount of turkey sandwich in every bite, the Food and Drug Administration reported Monday. "While traces of turkey sandwich can be found in other foods, such as turkey, bread, mayonnaise, or turkey-and-ham sandwiches, only turkey sandwiches contain 100 percent turkey sandwich," the report read in part. "In addition, eating a turkey sandwich a day is proven to help reduce the risk of not eating turkey sandwiches. This is great news for the 12 million Americans who aren't currently getting enough turkey sandwich." The report noted that turkey sandwiches are no longer considered to be a good source of hot dogs.

I suddenly have an urge for a turkey sandwich. But alas, I only have turkey sammiches. I wonder if they too are a rich source of turkey sandwiches?

There's nothing like a turkey sandwich, except another turkey sandwich.

If I had some more bread, I'd get another one. As it is, I think the shirt's toast.

I'd have a turkey sandwhich, but I can't get the damned turkey to stop flapping his wings - and finding big enough bread is another problem -

Chew on this ... According to askoxford.com:

Sandwich — ORIGIN named after the 4th Earl of Sandwich (1718-92), an English nobleman said to have eaten food in this form.

Yet Wiki says:

The first form of sandwich is attributed to the ancient Jewish sage Hillel the Elder, who is said to have put meat from the Paschal lamb and bitter herbs between two pieces of matzo (or flat, unleavened bread) during Passover. The filling between the matzos served as a reminder to Israelites of their forced labor constructing Egyptian buildings.

I vaguely remember the Earl from grade school, but the sage Hillel predates the Earl by a few eons. So was the Earl of Sandwich really a loaf with a half-baked claim to fame? Should we really be calling these things hillels?

Sandwiches are commonly carried to work, school or picnics to be eaten as the midday meal as part of a packed lunch. They are generally made of a combination of vegetables, meat, and/or a variety of sauces. They are widely sold in restaurants and cafes. They are popular throughout the world[citation needed].
