What is a sandwich
Sandwich is an food item consisting of two pieces of bread with a filling between them, eaten as a light meal. To make sandwich any type of bread can be used like whole wheat, white, multigrain, or brown bread as per your choice. But we should avoid use of white bread as it is made of refined flour and not good for gut.
Sandwiches are mostly savoury in taste but definitely we can make sweet sandwiches also.
