AHC: Sandwiches stay a somewhat disreputable food

[Night Gaul]

For some time, sandwiches were associated with gambling and drinking, but then they started appearing among polite society. Your challenge is to have the sandwich keep its somewhat disreputable reputation for at least a while longer.

Tacos were somewhat disreputable up until the mid 60's and the advent of Taco Bell, where Tacos were "made by white people instead of greasy Mexicans (direct quote from the founder)."

So, somehow associate sandwiches with some undesirable minority, like Roma or Irish.

Bloody hell what was our lazy food that was more satisfying than a snack but not a full meal? Beans?

My grandad used to eat beets. Like. The bastard would just grab a tin of sliced beets and eat them right out of the can in front of God and everybody.

Just curious, what amounts to “polite society” if the upper classes all over Europe had been heavily engaged in gambling and cards games were an accepted and popular social activity?

Maybe they would only be eaten whilst the ladies of polite society were not present?

Never have machined sliced bread be made available.

I'd like a sandwich but I really don't feel like eating two whole loaves of bread...

The problem is that, at least in the XVIII Europe, the ladies had been as heavily in gambling as the men. But, I repeat the question, what passes for polite society?

There's a sort of convenience that sandwiches have which few other foods match. So, I dunno, make wraps more popular so a similarly convenient food achieves the same amount of popularity.
