The ham sandwich is a type of sandwich with ham as a primary ingredient. The bread may be fresh or toasted, and it can be made with a variety of toppings including cheese and vegetables like lettuce, tomato, onion, sliced pickles, or sometimes potato chips. Various kinds of mustard and mayonnaise are also common.
The main components of a ham sandwich—sliced bread and sliced cooked ham—are readily available in Western supermarkets. As a result, they are a common component of packed lunches due to their ease of preparation and consumption.
