**45** 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     |
| ----------------------------------------------- | ----- | --------------------- | ---------- |
| house-made pecan butter                         |       |                       | not scored |
| boysenberry jamscored as Jam (jelly, preserves) | sauce | sweet 5 acid 2 smooth | not scored |

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.

## How to raise it

- Clear the board: condiments only (-25).
- Reads as a sweet build on purpose; scored as one.
