Funniest Lunch Ever

Today I went out to lunch with Ian and Hitomi, two fellow researchers from the archive. We tried a sandwich place that none of us had been to before - The Brötli Bar. They had a selection of open-faced sandwiches that looked like they were straight out of a 1950s Good Housekeeping article on making fancy sandwiches, complete with piped on mayonnaise, artfully arranged garnishes, and even aspic. Of course none of them had signs to say what they were, so we were left to guess, and I'm sure we made asses of ourselves because we were hysterically laughing about it. Here's what we got (taken by Ian with his iPhone so that we wouldn't be so over-the-top conspicuous):

Mine is the back left - one cheese with tomato and onion and one curry rice. As Ian kept asking, is that just rice on bread? Oh yes it is. As he pointed out, the picture does not do its bright yellow color justice. Hitomi and Ian both got the asparagus, which came garnished with some hard-boiled egg and a dollop of something else. I don't think Hitomi ever identified her other sandwich, and Ian had some sort of chopped up fishy one. Plus, salami (or am I not identifying it correctly?) with aspic. We also had some paprika to use as a garnish. The Swiss ladies who eventually wound up sharing our table really made use of that paprika, so I guess that's common around here for some reason. It was awesome.
