Dagwood Sandwich

We’re having a typical Tokyo spring–alternating warm and cool days. It’s hard to decide what to wear, so I’m putting on (and taking off) a lot of layers. With that as a theme, today’s recipe is has lots of layers, too.
The sandwiches that Dagwood eats in the comic Blondie are legendarily huge. He puts all sorts of unlikely things on them and really piles it high. This one fakes it a bit by stacking individual sandwiches on top of one another. You can substitute anything in this sandwich–the more ingredients the merrier–and it’s agreat way to use up leftovers.

Tod thinks the round sandwich looks better on top. I like the whimsy of sandwiching it in the middle…it’s up to you!
