LEVEL 1 — PLATE AND KNIFE

TURKEY SWISS ROLLUP

If it doesn’t exist between two slices of bread is it really a sandwich? That’s a question for another time, but in this instance, we say yes! Rollup, wrap, sandwich-on-the-go — whatever you call it, this handheld turkey and Swiss treat is easy to make and even easier to eat. Use whatever type of tortilla or wrap you’d like (plain, whole wheat, sundried tomato, spinach, etc.), add the fillings, and wrap it up!

IS A WRAP A SANDWICH?

According to the Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America, that’s a yes! The book states, “During the 1990s, wraps became a popular new form of sandwich in the United States.”

SANDWICH FACTS

• AKA: Lunch meat, cold cuts, deli meat, sliced meats, cold meats — all different names for the same thing
• 3/8–3/16” is the regulated diameter for the size of holes in Swiss cheese, thanks to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
• Another name for the holes in Swiss cheese is eyes. Swiss cheese without holes is “blind.”
• Swiss cheese is full of holes because of a specific type of bacteria that turns milk into Swiss cheese. The bacteria releases carbon dioxide, which forms bubbles. Those bubbles become air pockets in the cheese — hence the holes.
• Lavash: An unleavened Armenian bread — is also great for wraps and rollups.
