You time travel back to 1510 AD and are tasked with cooking one meal for King Henry VIII. If he liked it you become his royal chef. If he dislikes it you are killed.

However, all the ingredients needed to invent the sandwich are available at this time, but there is no garlic so no aioli.

Taste tester will be fine for hours until it hits his lower intestines, and if the King is going to wait hours for his food to get cold then so be it.
