Sandwiches that you can make with your imagination
By Jerrison Oracion, Senior Columnist

Two slices of bread can lead to unlimited possibilities. With every type of food available as a topping, you can make a new classic sandwich even from leftovers—which far surpasses the usual ham and mayonnaise sandwich.

Meat patties, sliced meats, sauces, vegetables, different types of bread, and even hash browns can create a lot of famous sandwiches, including the BLT, the spicy chicken sandwich, the Double Down, grilled cheese sandwiches, artisan sandwiches, the beef dipper, and one of my favourite sandwiches: the tonkatsu sandwich.

When I am at home, I think of ways to make a sandwich based on the food that we have in the house or what we had for dinner last night. Some of the sandwich recipes that I have made in the past are mind-blowing and can only be eaten occasionally (I say that because this is the health issue). When making these sandwiches, you might have to cook or bake some of the ingredients before assembling them. The ingredients list in these recipes is put in the order that you assemble the sandwich. The bread option is completely up to you!
