The way of the sandwich

My mother makes the best sandwiches. She was always very deliberate and detailed about how she put a sandwich together. Some things related to food I am indifferent to, but I am quite particular about how my sandwiches are made. I have a list of rules that Mr. J often forgets.

• I hate mayonaisse, but I need it on both sides of the bread. Very lightly.
• Mustard goes on one side only
• Cheese must not touch mayonaisse
• Meat should be folded or layered somehow, not just placed flat in a stack on the bread
• Lettuce should be shredded or one large leaf, not several small leaves
• Tomatoes should be sliced thinly, with not too many seeds
• Avocado should be mashed up into a paste and spread either on the bread or the meat
• Cheese should not be on the same side as the meat
• Pepperoncini peppers should be diced up small with the seeds removed
• Deli meat sandwiches get salt and pepper at the end

It sounds more complicated than it is. If it sounds complicated, that's because it is.
