The sandwich is the ultimate exercise in edible gestalt: Great vegetables, cheeses, meats, and breads make, in the aggregate, something so much more wonderful than any one ingredient alone. While there's a time and a place for ten-ingredient Dagwoods and double-decker club sandwiches, there's a particular magic to be found in the very simplest sandwiches. These nine sandwich variations call for just two ingredients each (plus bread, of course, and the occasional grind of pepper); they are, in our opinion, the very pinnacle of lunchtime perfection.

It's amazing I'm not morbidly obese.

It's ham and fried or scrambled egg. I've never heard of anyone wanting a ham and hard-boiled egg sandwich, and I now doubt the palate of whoever prepared this little slideshow.
yes. my people are Chinese and you know how we put a couple of fried eggs on top of a bowl of noddles? same with a sandwich... a couple of fried eggs. same idea, different application.
Making a sandwich of ham and HARD BOILED EGG is not at all the "same idea, different application."
I'm Vietnamese and we too know how to put fried eggs on baguettes or on top of some rice, but this "Perfect Pair" being presented here is ham and HARD BOILED EGG.
Simply does not sound right.
