Tossing out a few more ideas and prospective prices, just to see if this is a place people would eat at in real life - *2 layers of jerky, barbecue sauce, and cheddar atop toasted sourdough bread. $6 for beef jerky, $7 for turkey jerky (which, yes, does exist).

*2 layers of jerky, barbecue sauce, and cheddar atop toasted sourdough bread. $6 for beef jerky, $7 for turkey jerky (which, yes, does exist). Of course it exists. In fact, I've had and enjoyed some. No innuendo intended here, but if it's meat and it hasn't spoiled yet, it can be jerked and eaten. I've had turkey jerky, and have seen for sale bison jerky, alligator jerky, duck jerky, and one or two others I can't quite recall at the moment.

Skyfire
I lived in a big sharehouse for about a year, we all took turns cooking. One night it was the dutch girl's turn to cook. She made sausages with morello cherries, raisins sultanas and other dried fruit with rice - completely fucking inedible never would be.
I accept there is some sweet and savoury but pork and pineapple (we put pineapple and beetroot on our burgers which is awesome) but some of this stuff is just wrong - powdered sugar and deep frying have no business going near a sandwich.
The jerky doesn't sound so bad but I think it would be too chewy ( bits of jerky would be left sticking out after you bit through the bread).
and lime and lemon are sour more than sweet so don't count.
Seriously though go and find some zweibelbrot - it is the business.
How about potato salad and bacon/ Tuna with dill and onion/
You could always do a German style kebab which is in a brotchen

Even if I sat down and made a sample of every last single sandwich idea I had, I still wouldn't be able to tell whether or not it'd be a good idea because everything tastes funny nowadays. For example, I can't eat mushrooms anymore; far too many people cook them until they're rubbery (they should be crisp), and to me rubbery mushrooms taste like snot. Hence me tossing ideas out and asking people if IRL it'd be something they'd consider: I no longer have that sense of perspective in regards to taste & smell that other people do.

all the more reason to back the Zwiebelbrot then - go find someone who can taste - make them a zweibelbrot sandwich with say ham or beef, salad, onions mustard or mayonaise then watch them jizz in their pants as they eat it - I kid you not - great stuff

Di immortales, what happened that could alter one's sense of taste so ... drastically?

Di immortales, what happened that could alter one's sense of taste so ... drastically? Understand that the sense of taste is linked to the sense of smell. A genetic defect that runs on my dad's side of the family renders the nasal passages of anyone so affected abnormally thin; those of us in the family who get hit with it are thus alarmingly prone to nosebleeds. That one of my wisdom teeth cut up into my sinus cavity didn't exactly help matters, either; I bled for about 36 hours straight after I had all four wisdom teeth extracted, with blood coming out my nose as well. To make matters worse, when I was 8 I ended up in the hospital. The doctors basically crammed tubes down my nose (they put the tubes in my nostrils and told me to drink a glass of water; the argued that the force of my drinking would cause the tubes to go down), resulting in a perpetual post-nasal drip that I still deal with almost 20 years later. As such, my nasal passages have been so thoroughly damaged that I can't always taste or smell things anymore. In fact, they're so damaged that even stress or warm weather can start me bleeding (during the hottest part of summer, I can bleed for weeks on end). And when I start bleeding, I inevitably start coughing up mucus and blood clots somewhere along the way, something that sours my taste buds as salt is one of the few things that can get the taste of blood out of my mouth. Because of this, whenever I eat I actually have go to by the texture of what I'm eating almost as often as I go by taste. This has severely restricted what kinds of food I eat, as texture - taste = some rather disgusting sensations. For example, save for sushi I no longer eat any seafood unless I personally see it getting prepared; I've had far too many "what the hell?!" moments where I couldn't ID what I was biting into and very nearly puked in public as a result. My life pretty well sucks some days.
