Practical English Lesson: How To Order A Sandwich In NYC

Everybody likes a good sandwich. They are portable, tasty, and generally not very expensive. However, a lot of people have trouble ordering a sandwich in a deli here in New York. Well, don’t worry. Today I’m going to show you how to order exactly what you like.

Most sandwiches have three components. First, we have the main ingredient(s) such as meat and/or cheese. Next, is the bread. There are several types of bread including rolls and heroes. Finally, there are the extras, like lettuce, tomato, pickles, and condiments, such as mustard mayonnaise (or just mayo), salt and pepper.

So, now that you know the parts of a sandwich, here is the pattern you’ll need to follow when ordering:

Can I please have [main ingredient(s)] on [type of bread] with [extras & condiments]?

For example,

• Clerk: Next!
• Michael: Can I please have roast beef and cheddar cheese on a roll with lettuce, tomato, mayo, salt and pepper?
