Dear Pennsylvania,
The whole idea behind the open-faced sandwich is stupid. 1) It’s the messiest thing ever – in fact, the whole POINT of the sandwich was to have bread on the outside so as to avoid messiness. 2) Since there’s more food when it’s in the unnatural “open-face” mode, it’s more likely to make you fat.
Pennsylvania, land of the messy and fat.
Why can’t I graduate from law school already?
Also, my library now stinks to high heaven of salmon, but that was my bad for ordering the lox. But I blame the messiness on the so called sandwich.

Sorry to say, but the open-faced sandwich is not limited to Pennsylvania. It is also known to be Scandinavian.
That was all I ever had growing up and thought it was very strange to see people eating with two slices of bread. (This feeling strikes me sometimes even now :P) But I looked it up on Wiki, and the open-faced sandwich has a unique history, different from traditional sandwiches.

As for being messy and unhealthy, in our family we don’t stack it any higher than a normal sandwich. In fact, when we eat a fast-food burger we like to take the top off, in that case less starch/calories.
I ‘spose it all comes down to what you are used to.
farvel!
