A slice of bread with butter is not a sandwich, it's just bread and butter or buttered bread. Sandwich is a placename, sandy vik, the food item is named after an earl/eoarl/yarl/jarl (take your pick).

In other words "sandwich" is an eponym.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no, it depends on the context.

Just slap the колбаса on the bread instead of your face, and there's your sandwich!
