For sandwiches try Nuremberg sausages. In Nuremberg you get "Drei im Weggla" (three in a bun) usually just with mustard, but they goes really well with sauerkraut or red cabbage.

From Littlewood's Miscellany.
A former pupil began brilliantly; he took a pure research post after his Ph.D. under me, and had 6 years of research. The work became dull, though copious, and finally ended, and when I then met him he was on the point of a nervous breakdown. I then discovered that he had worked continuously for the 6 years for 365 and a quarter days a year. If he had done the work in the reverse order he would have been a Fellow of the Royal Society. Shortly before World War I the psychologist, Boris Sidis, subjected his son to the theory of education. By the age of 9 the boy had become outstanding in a number of subjects. According to the theory no strain was involved, and in fact the boy did not obviously overwork and was also good at athletics. Some time after the war, when he was about 30, he was met by visitors from England. He held an ill-paid post with unexacting duties, refused to be promoted, and said that his object in life was never to have to think again.
