**90** Balance, out of 100

The seven flavor axes of the whole sandwich, each summed across its layers. The shaded ring is the catalog's middle 80%; the small number under each axis is where this sandwich falls in the catalog. A shape that sits inside the ring is in the range most sandwiches live in; a spike past it is where this one stands apart.

## What each layer brings

| Layer                            | Role    | Flavor and texture                     | Points |
| -------------------------------- | ------- | -------------------------------------- | ------ |
| roast beefscored as Beef         | protein | fat 3 umami 3 juicy chewy tender       | **+2** |
| horseradish                      | sauce   | heat 4 acid 2 creamy saucy             | **−2** |
| cheesescored as Cheese (generic) | protein | fat 4 salt 3 umami 3 creamy soft gooey | **−4** |

Points: what the Sandwich Score would lose if that one layer were left out, everything else the same. A negative number means the sandwich scores higher without it. Flavor runs 0 to 5 on each axis.

## Pairings

- **Beef + Horseradish**: hot horseradish cuts rich roast beef

## How to raise it

- Clear the board: heat past the catalog (-8).
