As the main person responsible for feeding a family of five for several years, I have had to face resistance, complaints and bad faces. But none as firm, clear and energetic as that of wet sandwiches.
I explain. When you make a sandwich with, for example, tomato, and this ingredient is in contact with the crumb, it is inevitable that moisture is transferred. If you eat it right away, it’s no problem, but if you’re going to eat it later (which is usually the case with a lunch box) it’s another matter.

I remembered the protests again this week, when I made myself a sandwich filled with fried tuna that I planned to take with me for a walk. I left it on the counter waiting for it to cool before wrapping it and within a few minutes, it was totally wet!
