hmm a was eating a sandwich and i just wondered why do they all taste so much better squashed?

Answer 1

Some sandwiches like chicken or vegemite or PB do, but others really don't :P I like warmish vegemite squished sandwiches, lol!

Answer 2

Actually, it may be because it just makes the foods thinner and smaller, allowing the various flavors to mix together more in each bite.. . . a little like the difference between eating chicken, cheese, tomato, etc. as separate items, and eating them as a salad, casserole, stew, or to a lesser degree sandwich (if the ingredients aren't chopped up).

Also, some things may not taste or "feel" nearly as good when they're one big blob as they may in a smaller amount --e.g. mushrooms, hard-boiled eggs-- so that also makes sure you won't get a big mouthful of just one flavor or texture.

Btw, I'm assuming that you *don't* mean just the wonderful taste of adding butter or oil to the outside of usually-squashed sandwiches then pressing/grilling ... doing that adds two new things --a different flavor and a new texture (crunchy), both of which are also yummy, if not lowfat.

There may also be some technical things involved, like how hard it is to chew up a larger thicker bite, or how much of the food reaches various parts of the tongue and tastebuds that way.

Answer 3

coz then the veggie/meats/dressing juices squish into the bread and up the flavor.

Answer 4

maybe everything is right ontop of one another in your sandwich ... don't know.
