A sandwich is just a sandwich

Today I was making french toast (a.k.a. "eggy bread") when I realised we had sliced turkey and asiago cheese in the meat drawer. Sadly no ham, so my sandwich was only three-quarters of the way to being a monte cristo. What to call such a near-miss? A "Monte Battista"? An "Edmond Dantès"? A "Pianosa"?

No - the most I ever saw growing up in Europe was one, maybe two slices of ham and cheese each. Here in the US I regularly have to pick out half an inch of random protein before I have an edible sandwich. I really hate the mouth feel of biting through those thick layers of cold cuts.

Whatever. You said three kinds, not slices.

Mazeltov! May over-filled sandwiches be the least of your worries.

Slice of cheese. Slice of ham. Two kinds of protein.

But I agree, life is pretty good when I'm complaining about an excess of food.
