Speaking of American culture & sandwiches, I've long thought that sandwiches make a far better metaphor for us (when we're at our best) than ''melting pot".
With a melting pot, everything's supposed to end up mostly homogenous. But a well-made sandwich lets you perceive and appreciate the distinctive addition each element gives to the greater whole. And you immediately realize how that whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Sandwiches celebrate diversity!
