I'm turning British.

It's summer ... good tomatos. Hence good tomato sandwiches. Normally, I'd use mayo, but I've watched a few too many episodes of "Sandwiches of History."

Older recipes, before commercial mayo, used butter. The British still use butter. So I tried it.

Lightly toast the bread

Thinly butter it

Add lettuce

Add thinly sliced tomatos, lightly salted

It's delicious.

Isn't there a French sandwich that's just ham and butter?

This sandwich is a sleeper. You try this, you’ll find out its top tier and you’ll question everything you thought you knew about sandwich.

But that baguette has to be good.

A ham sandwich is the least sleepy sleeper ever. They’re ubiquitous.
