Recently, I heard of some people discussing a particularly "large" and "impressive" sandwich. Being a sandwich connoisseur of great reknown, I decided to examine the reports, and see whether said consumable was worthy of the hype

Not bad. Not bad. However, I'm all about mixing the meats. I like to have representitives from every meat group involved in a sandwich. I'm equal opportunities that way.
But a degree of restraint is paramount when creating a megasandwich - one cannot simple throw ingredient after ingredient at a loaf, and hope one has made a masterpiece! No; one must plan carefully, and build accordingly. After all, the most magnificent constructions in God's fair eearth are not simply those which are the tallest, no?
And as for multiple meats; to whit "...I like to have representitives from every meat group..." - to what point is a grouping? Do you just require one swine, one bovine and one poultry? Or do the species themselves matter - one each of pork, cattle, mutton/lamb, poultry, venison, fish, crusteceans; where do your limits stand?
Hey dood thanks for looking after me. I don't care what the others say about you, you're a top bloke in my books. I'm not exactly sure what happened - I was totally fine and perfectly lucid by the time we got home (if a little embarassed and confused). Mary now calls you her 'gem of wonder' and thanks you for taking care of the situation.
In all honesty, I view that attempt as less of a "megasandwich", and more of an abomination contained within a loaf. There is no beauty to it - it is a comglomeration of poorly prepared ingredients assembled haphazardly upon the bread. It looks unappealing, and requires a knife and fork in order to eat it! A true megasandwich should be able to be consumed with one's two hands and the mouth God granted him, albeit with great difficulty. I would hazard a guess that the sandwich's "architect" (and I use that term loosely) had the same brain pan measurement as a carriage driver.

Although, the fact that one of the bar staff last night also had a seizure makes the whole night seem rather dodgy...
