What Your Favorite Sandwich Says About Your
|

Myth has it that Montague, an avid gambler, preferred sandwiches because they were fast and easy meals that didn’t interfere with his gambling. It is more likely that Montague just liked the food creation in general.
Today, over 300 million of the Earl of Sandwich’s namesake are consumed daily in the United States alone.
And from the baloney slice slapped on white bread appreciated by school children and prisoners alike to the world’s most expensive sandwich, the von Essen Platinum Club Sandwich (made of Iberico ham, poulet de Bresse, white truffles, quail eggs, semi-dried Italian tomatoes and 24-hour fermented sour dough bread; head to Cliveden’s Waldo Restaurant in Berkshire, U.K. to get yours for just $197 each!), sandwiches certainly can be convenient and satisfying meals.
But the recent study conducted by Dr. Alan Hirsch of the Chicago-based Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation shows that the sandwiches you prefer can say a lot about your personality and even the romantic partners for which you are best suited.
Best Foods and Hellmans commissioned the research, in case you are wondering as I did who would pay for such a thing. (While the sandwiches chosen for the study are all very popular, you’ll notice a typical ingredient in all of them is mayonnaise; no peanut butter and jelly sandwiches here!)
For the study, the nearly 3000 participants underwent standardized comprehensive psychiatric and personality tests to identify their character traits and behaviors. By comparing the personality test results and survey responses, the study revealed a strong correlation between sandwich choices and personality traits.

Below are the sandwiches and the personality types who strongly tend to prefer them, as well as the other sandwich types they are most compatible with.
