"I ordered a ham and cheese on white with butter and immediately got some guff from the woman at the counter. 'Don’t you want some veggies with that? Lettuce and onion, or maybe some tomato? You’ve got to eat your vegetables,' she pleaded. 'No, I hate vegetables,' I lied. 'I’ll eat them tonight with dinner.' At $8.45, the sandwich was a little more expensive than I’d expected for something so pared down. Still, it had twice as much rubbery boiled ham and gleaming yellow cheese as its ‘40s prototype, so I lifted the top slice of bread and gingerly removed three slices of ham and one slice of cheese. Now, the historic sandwich was accurately rendered." - Robert Sietsema
