**68** 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    |
| ---------------------- | ------- | -------------------------------------- | --------- |
| ryescored as Rye Bread | bread   | bitter 2 soft crusty                   | the frame |
| ham                    | protein | salt 4 umami 4 fat 3 soft silky tender | **+7**    |
| swiss cheese           | protein | fat 3 umami 3 salt 2 soft melty        | **+24**   |

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

- **Ham + Swiss Cheese**: cured pork and nutty swiss, an old alliance
