My parents handed over the task of making school lunches to my brother and me at a relatively early point in our educational careers. If my memory serves me correctly, I was only seven or eight. Since I was already too much of a food snob to make my lunch the night before and end up with slightly staler or soggier sandwiches, I ate years and years of the two sandwich varieties that I could pack ...
