Could you live on sandwiches alone for a full week? Two in three Americans (67%) say they could, according to a new survey. It finds that the average American craves a sandwich four times a week, but people have specific ideas about what makes the best sandwich.

The poll of 2-thousand U.S. adults asked what goes into the perfect sandwich and the top choices are tomato (54%), cheddar cheese (39%) and Black Forest ham (39%) on whole wheat bread (37%).

  • For condiments, ketchup is number one with 61%, followed by barbecue sauce, mayo and honey mustard all at 58%, then mustard at 56%. The least favorite was ranch (26%).

  • As for the veggies people want on their perfect sandwich, onion ranks up there with tomato at 54%, then cucumber (51%), lettuce (47%) and pickles (46%).
  • More than half (58%) prefer to have their sandwiches toasted.
