More acid than 90% of the catalog.

Each bar is one pillar of the score, 0 to 100\. The tick marks what a sandwich at the summit needs; an amber bar is the one holding this sandwich back.

**focaccia pocket**, served cold: cucumber; olives; peperoncini; tomatoes; radishes; greens; feta; cilantro yogurt.

Much of this build is inferred from the name; the score is a reading, and it stays out of Moonside Bakery & Cafe's typical score.

Worth a look: ingredient not in the pantry: Cilantro Yogurt.

**91** 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

- **Cucumber + Olives (olive salad, tapenade)**: greek salad logic: brine and cool crunch
- **Cucumber + Feta**: salty brined cheese, cool water crunch
- **Olives (olive salad, tapenade) + Tomato**: olive brine against sweet acid
- **Olives (olive salad, tapenade) + Feta**: two brines that agree: feta and olive
