I’ll Trade You an Ibex on Rye…

Archived Episodes

Thousands and thousands of years ago as our ancestors wandered about the savannahs of Africa hunting and gathering and no one ever packed a lunch. Some archeologists have found traces of what they believe to be crude lunch pails and thermoses, but neither of these discoveries can outweigh the fact that they had no bread….without bread, no sandwiches. Had our Neanderthal grandparents known what they were missing, no doubt tears would have streamed down their prominent brows (if they were upside down) for sorrow at the lack of sandwiches in the Paleolithic era….DENIED the pleasure of a mammoth lettuce and tomato on wheat….DENIED a savory ibex salad sandwich on rye….DENIED a megacerosburger (California style with avocado). It was not until the emergence of Homo-sapiens that sandwiches began to flourish and the sandwich-less Neanderthals disappeared.
