It’s really 2-3 open face sandwiches, each being one slice of bread, butter, and exactly one topping of meat or cheese. No condiments. Rarely any veg or any extra flavor. And that’s it. If this isn’t a boring lunch, I have no idea what is.

> If this isn’t a boring lunch

The qualification seems unnecessary to me. It's lunch (well, to me, it's breakfast). It's no wonder people are depressed eating it when everybody keeps calling it boring. It's bread with a topping. It's fine. It tastes good. Does every meal need to be akin to a sushi buffet?

Sushi is rice with a topping. It's boring too.

Flavored rice, usually with wasabi and sea weed. The fish is also fresh, not processed.

Butter is a condiment. a boring lunch to me would just 2 slices of bread over just ham.

So because of the butter is no longer boring?

Absolutely, butter makes things taste so much better. Plus if you just got bread and meat, it can easily get stuck in your teeth. You need a condiment to make the sandwich easy to eat.

Literally we’re talking about exactly that plus some fat. I don’t see how the fat all of the sudden makes it not boring. Especially given this is then eaten daily.
