Definition of sandwhich

(Gerald Green, The Heartless Light....)

It was amazing how they had herded together for protection : an enormous matriarch in a quilted silk wrapper , rising from the breakfast_table ; a gross boy in his teens , shuffling in from the kitchen with a sandwich in his hands ; a girl in her twenties , fat and sullen , descending the marble staircase ; then all four gathering on the sofa to face the inquisitor .

(Sallie Bingham, "Moving Day," The Atlantic...)

There were times it was n't right to make a person happy , like the times she came_in the kitchen and asked for a peanut_butter sandwich .
