The Ham Barrier

   When you make a sandwich, you must always remember the ham barrier. I really only make ham and cheese sandwiches because I can't be bothered with the fast-paced deli queue lifestyle. But any sandwich has a ham barrier of its own, regardless of whether it actually contains any ham content.
   Despite recent census results, you should know that I am not an monster. I like my eats, and I am trying to avoid seasonal depression by getting vitamins (or whatever). Thus, my ham and cheese sandwiches feature Tomato, Lettuce and occasionally guest star Fried Egg. Its like a good mainstream rap in that it can't ever really be that "good" compared to the rest of its category, but it certainly helps if its featuring 2 Chainz. Does that make sense? If not, just think about it some more, its a very complex and intellectual comparison.
   Okay, so the ham barrier. You know when you've got leaky vegetables? Lord love the humble tomato, but is it ever a messy sonofagun! Within minutes you've got soggy breads and your sandwich is more like a pool toy than a lunch. Fried egg does it too, he's just sneakier about it. This is where the ham barrier comes in.
   Lay some sweet slices down to rest against your bread then order your ingredients however which way you want and you've made yourself a good ham barrier. Say goodbye to the soggy breads of yesteryear and hello to that old school sandwich satisfaction.
