The Ham Sandwich

Mr. Allison’s idea of a sandwich was to make it a 6 0/40 ham-to-bread ratio, closer in proportion to a hog between two Ritz crackers. The sandwich boasts three pieces of sliced-off-the-bone sugar-baked ham, the combined thickness of two decks of playing cards. They’re then grilled and placed between a chewy French roll. — K.P.
