    A club sandwich is a global indicator of quality. You can find them in places you'd never expect them, and I have no idea why. I love the ones where it looks right, but everything is wrong. A hammered piece of chicken, tons of mayo, and deli meat? Interesting. Lettuce? Oh, looks like I'm getting dysentery as a side dish on this one.

    Quality? They’re common in every roadside diner or bar. It’s just bread mayo and toppings.

    Oh, I mean in places where sliced white bread and thin sliced streaky bacon aren't regular items. Eastern Europe and the Caucuses, Africa, Asia.

    Ever have a club sandwich on the coast in Ghana? It's not really a sandwich with rules, so much as guidelines.

    They do look good.

    I've never had a Monte Cristo, but have always wondered why they come with raspberry jam. Some foods have that weird jelly thing that goes with them, like mint jelly served with lamb. I haven't had a lot of lamb in my life, but when I have, I've NEVER said "You know what this needs? A bit of mint jelly." In fact I've never said that about ANYTHING.

    Apple with pork, cranberry with turkey, lingonerry with Swedish meatballs, etc. None of it really works. Who made that stuff up?
