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 |
| -------- | ------- | --------------------------------------- | ------ |
| Egg      | protein | fat 3 umami 2 soft creamy springy       | **+7** |
| Avocado  | fat     | fat 4 creamy soft fresh                 | **+5** |
| Spinach  | bulk    | soft fresh leafy                        | **+6** |
| Tomato   | texture | acid 3 umami 3 sweet 2 juicy soft fresh | **+6** |
| Cucumber | bulk    | crunchy juicy fresh                     | **+4** |
| Butter   | fat     | fat 5 creamy silky                      | **−2** |

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

- **Egg + Avocado**: avocado toast law: green fat under soft egg
- **Egg + Spinach**: florentine logic: spinach folded into egg
