Hmm, but you don't eat a sandwich layer by layer like you do with a stack.

Some sandwiches naturally want to be eaten from the middle layer out.

You’d be surprised in the variety in how people eat food.

I know some people that roll a pizza slice (from crust to center) to eat it. Blasphemous, and inspiring.
