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    |
| ---------------------------------------- | ------- | -------------------------------------- | --------- |

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

- **Turkey + Brie**: soft brie gives lean turkey its fat
- **Turkey + Cranberry Sauce**: thanksgiving logic: tart fruit on lean bird
- **Brie + Cranberry Sauce**: tart fruit against a soft bloomy rind
