I had a question about sandwiches. What kind of sandwich do you conjure when you hear or read the word? Why?
I always think of a sliced chicken and ham with tomatoes, cucumber, romaine lettuce, salt/pepper, and either swiss or cheddar cheese on white bread with mayo and mustard.
Is there a name for this sandwich? Is it an established type beyond just a version of a cold cut sandwich? Like, a ham and butter sandwich is a Jambon et Beurre (typically on a baguette), what is this?

I feel sometimes specific sandwich names are bullshit. Part of what makes sandwiches so popular is that you can put whatever you want in them, like you don't have to call it a "ploughman's lunch" it's just an onion and cheese sandwich.
I suppose a basic ham and cheese comes to mind when you first mention the word, but a BLT or a good club sandwich would be the ideal

Ploughman's is a sandwich to you? Weird. Where I come from it's a cold plate.

yeah now that I look it up it might not be right, some guy just gave me a sandwich and called it that one day. Plus I used "club" to describe a sandwich so I'm full of shit when I think about it
