A sandwich loaf is simply a loaf of bread, sliced horizontally, filled with layers that typically include ham salad, chicken salad, shrimp salad and/or egg salad. It's "frosted" like a cake with a cream cheese mixture and decorated with frills like hard-boiled egg slices or olives. It's chilled, then sliced vertically, like slices of a loaf of sandwich bread. 2, record 1, English, - sandwich%20loaf
