Abstract
A method for inserting one foodstuff, such as sandwich fixings, into a second foodstuff, such as a bread bun, which includes forming a cavity in the second foodstuff. The cavity may be formed by drilling with an elongated, cylindrical drill bit. The first foodstuff is inserted into the cavity by placing the first foodstuff into a carrier, and inserting the carrier into the cavity of the second foodstuff. The carrier is withdrawn while preventing the first foodstuff from exiting the cavity. The carrier can be a flexible sheet of material, onto which the first foodstuff is placed, rolled into a sleeve, and inserted into the cavity. The resulting foodstuff, such as a sandwich, has a substantially continuous wall of bread maintaining the first foodstuff within the second foodstuff.
Claims18
A sandwich, comprising:
- a) a bread bun having a length and a substantially continuous wall forming a unitary, integral shell and a cavity in the bread bun and extending substantially the length of the bun;
- said bread bun includes an exterior crust and an opening through the crust into the cavity;
- and
- b) a plurality of layers of sandwich fixings, disposed in the cavity said layers of sandwich fixings are disposed in separate and arcuate layers in said cavity;
- and said layers of sandwich fixings inserted into the cavity of the bread bun by:
- 1) placing the sandwich fixings as a plurality of separate layers onto a carrier;
- 2) rolling said carrier into a cylindrical tubular sleeve with the separate layers of sandwich fixings therein;
- 3) inserting the carrier with the separate layers of sandwich fixings therein through said opening into the cavity of the bread bun;
- and
- 4) withdrawing the carrier from the cavity of the bread bun through said opening while preventing the sandwich fixings from exiting the cavity and thereby forming separate and arcuate layers of sandwich fixings in said cavity of the bread bun.
A sandwich, comprising:
- a) a pre-baked bread bun having a length, a substantially continuous wall forming a unitary, integral shell, an exterior crust, a cavity in the bread bun without an interior crust and extending substantially the length of the bun, and an opening in the exterior crust extending to the cavity;
- and
- b) a plurality of separate layers of sandwich fixings, disposed in the cavity of the bread bun and said layers are arranged in separate arcuate layers.
A sandwich, comprising:
- a) a pre-baked bread bun having a length, a substantially continuous wall forming a unitary, integral shell, an exterior crust, a cavity in the bread bun without an interior crust and extending substantially the length of the bun, and an opening in the exterior crust extending to the cavity;
- and
- b) a plurality of separate layers of sandwich fixings, disposed the cavity of the bread bun, the separate layers of sandwich fixings having a layered configuration in the cavity of the bread bun and a layered configuration prior to insertion into the cavity of the bread bun that are substantially the same.
A sandwich, comprising:
- a) a pre-baked bread bun, having a length, a substantially continuous wall forming a unitary, integral shell, an exterior crust, a cavity in the bread bun without an interior crust and extending substantially the length of the bun and with a substantially circular cross-sectional shape and an opening in the exterior crust extending to the cavity and;
- b) a plurality of separate layers of sandwich fixings, disposed in the cavity of the bread bun, the layers being oriented in arcuate layers that conform to the substantially circular cross-sectional shape of the cavity of the bread bun, the separate arcuate layers of sandwich fixing having substantially a same separate arcuate layered configuration prior to insertion into the cavity of the bread bun.
