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    |
| ----------------------------------------- | ------- | --------------------------------------- | --------- |
| bagel                                     | bread   | soft chewy                              | the frame |
| herbed cream cheesescored as Cream Cheese | fat     | fat 4 creamy silky smooth               | **+3**    |
| tomatoesscored as Tomato                  | texture | acid 3 umami 3 sweet 2 juicy soft fresh | **+19**   |
| two strips of baconscored as Bacon        | protein | fat 4 salt 3 umami 3 crispy chewy       | **+8**    |

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

- **Bagel + Cream Cheese**: the schmear: cream cheese on a boiled crust
- **Tomato + Bacon**: smoke against sweet acid, the blt core
