What it concludes

• Good bread for a sub sandwich should be a long roll that is soft yet chewy and sturdy enough to absorb moisture.
• A well-lubricated sandwich improves both texture in the mouthfeel and helps transport flavor compounds.
• Fat coats the tongue, allowing aromatic compounds to stay in contact with taste buds for longer periods and intensifying flavors.
• Dressing vegetables like lettuce and onions with vinaigrette helps make everything cohesive just like a dressed salad.
• Wrapping the sandwich evenly compresses it from all sides, creating a more cohesive texture, allowing more fillings without spilling, and helping lubricants disperse flavor.
