It will make your sandwich so much better.
Have a selection of finely-sliced cheeses and meats.
The best sandwiches have a lot of flavor.
Texture needs to be considered also.
Finely cut meats and cheeses allow you to layer on different flavors without bulking up your sandwich too much.
A butcher will be able to slice the meat very thin for you.
Fresh-cut meats are what make a great sandwich along with genuine cheese, not processed! You should go for the freshest vegetables you can possibly find.
A sandwich just isn't the same unless it has some vegetables.
Lettuce and tomatoes are classic sandwich toppings.
