Quarry Sandwich

Author Sue Grafton describes this sandwich in her book "Q is for Quarry". The protagonist moans in joy when she first tastes this. From the description, I just knew I had to try it. This is very good! You may be tempted to add mustard or other condiments, but don't. The flavors stand on their own.
