We're All the Same, But Different

Mrs Travels recently hosted a group of German business men and women at a business meeting in New York City.
At lunch time they all ordered food to be delivered. Mrs Travels thought that it would be delightful to order sandwiches from one of the over-the-top delis that NYC was once famous for. Overstuffed sandwiches for all!
When the lunch arrived, the Germans looked at the mile high sandwiches with shock. So much meat! (Anyone who has traveled in Europe will smile at the differences between the amount of meat in a sandwich.)
"Is there a problem", she asked? She was focused on the mile high pile of meat on each sandwich, of course.
The reply: "How will we taste the bread?"
