Excellent. Small moves left on the board.

**97** 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.

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

- **Tuna + Tomato**: tuna salad and tomato, the lunch-counter pair
- **Tuna + Pickle (cucumber)**: relish logic: sour crunch in rich tuna
- **Avocado + Sprouts**: california crunch on green fat

## How to raise it

- Clear the board: a wet layer on soft bread (-5).
