Club sandwich

A club sandwich, also called a clubhouse sandwich, is a type of sandwich frequently served as a 'double-decker', requiring three (rather than two) slices of bread, often held together by frilly toothpicks. It is generally cut into quarters. French fries (also called as chips in the UK and elsewhere), Chips (also called crisps in the UK and elsewhere), cole slaw or potato salad may be placed in the center or on the side of the four equally sized sandwich triangles. The traditional club ingredients are turkey, bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise (optional), served on toasted bread. Ham is sometimes substituted for bacon, and the bread can also be untoasted. A pickle and/or garnish such as parsley are sometimes added to the platter.
