Putting your meal between slices of bread is a trick people do all over the world -with slight differences from country to country. In Australia you may have a chance to try the yeast paste Vegemite. In Japan you can have your noodles in your sandwich. In Vietnam you might encounter the spicy Vietnamese bahn mi.

A baguette stuffed to the brim with meat and pickled veggies, the banh mi is fusion food at its best. But be warned: it's usually sprinkled with cilantro, so don't be surprised by an herby kick when you take a bite.

Recently I was in South America, again, and met some fantastic people called Texans (no snark). For the fiftyumpteenth time another Yanq asked me about Vegemite. It occurred to me, after tasting SthAfrican Biltong spread, (we were hungry), that it is close to the same. I asked them to imagine beef jerky paste between two pieces of bread. The penny dropped, they could 'equate' the taste and offered to buy our smuggled supplies off us. They said that 'breakfast spread' in the YOOSA is sweet, 'who woulda thawt' salt as a brekky spread would be good.
Trivia: Kraft, yes that Kraft, make Vegemite.
ps: as I told the Texicanos, check your spice area in your local S'mart. That is where I used to buy it when I lived there. No it is for sale, those are fighting words.
No it is NOT for sale
I meant to say.
Beat that.
Gotta agree with lulu, the best sandwhich is the one after a ten hour hike, when dry turkey on saltines tastes like heaven!
