Sandwiched! 13 Life-Changing Variations
Take two starchy pieces of something (be it bread or cookies), press them together with something special in the middle, and call it a sandwich! It's one of the most ubiquitous art forms there is. And luckily, the modern world has developed crazy variations on traditional sandwiches. We've compiled a list of our favorite ways to sandwich things together, sweet and savory, hot and cold.
