And yet at the same time, I think there's like.

this inevitable thing that happens, you know, it happens across all different kinds of cultural lines, but I think it's just a thing that happens with food where it gets adapted by whoever is interested in it based on what they're familiar with and feel comfortable with and what they have at the store and what's available.

And so this, this thing where you can say, Oh, that's, this is wiping out culture and it's oppressive.

And it's like,

yeah but also like we also just kind of like run home with ideas and don't understand it but i want to try something out and that's cute that we do that too it depends i think it depends on on it depends on the motives i think really um but yeah these sandwiches are all like i think anyone from any of these cultures would be like like what what um

Because for another example, Scotland is sliced lamb with minted dressing on scotch barley bread.

And you're like, what about a scotch egg?

What about, you know, there's no limitless Canada baked ham with pickled dressing on cheddar cheese bread.

It's like, sure, that's as Canadian as Canada pie.

Exactly.

Exactly.

And then what's... Oh, and the USA sliced turkey with cranberry dressing on whole wheat bread.

Something that no American eats on a daily basis, but that makes me think of Thanksgiving.

So, yeah, it's fun.

It's all over the place.

And it also does this kind of visually, it sort of standardizes...

um, instead of like an idiosyncratic kind of things around the world sort of appear in different shapes and forms and might be one, you know, something might be a stew and the next thing might be a hand pie.

Everything is a sandwich.

So it kind of uses the sandwich as like an organizing principle to give, to sort of snap the entire world into a grid where like everything, do you know what I mean?

Like you can kind of find, um, yeah.
