Sir Sandwich, We Honor Thee

It's probably because I'm an American (as I've decided I can automatically attribute all my faults to), it's difficult for me to remember that the way I live is very different from the way other people live. Sure, on a broad scale, I understand that, I'm not THAT dumb, but I forget about the little things. Check out this link; a Japanese bento chef describes sandwiches from his (her?) childhood -- very, VERY different from the sandwiches I've known and nom-ed for my entire life. Cucumber is considered an acceptable ingredient?! BY ITSELF?!!! As an American I am outraged. I hope to have some pictures up later today of some REAL sandwiches.
