A sandwich loaf is a stacked party entrée that looks like a cake. While rare today, the food was quite popular during the mid 20th century in the United States. To create a sandwich loaf, bread is spread with layers of filling. Common fillings include egg salad, chicken salad, ham salad, tuna salad, Cheez Whiz, but other fillings are possible, including peanut butter and jelly and mock egg salad made from tofu. In a simple sandwich loaf, the fillings may all be the same, but in more complex creations each layer is different. White bread is used to create a sandwich loaf, but whole wheat is used. Sometimes white and whole wheat are used in alternating layers to create a ribbon effect. Common garnishes are olives, parsley and carrot curls; the loaf is eaten with a fork. Sandwich loaf was mentioned as early as 1935: " giving the fork a chance for active play, the sandwich loaf made its appearance; this loaf, as you all must know by now, is a delicate triple-layered affair generously frosted with creamy cheese.

The three csárdás that Franz Liszt wrote in 1881–82 and 1884 are solo piano pieces based on the Hungarian dance form of the same name. Liszt treats the dance form itself much less than he did much earlier with the verbunkos in the Hungarian Rhapsodies, the material itself remains more Hungarian than gypsy in thematic material, their spare lines, angular rhythms and advanced harmonies show these pieces to be direct ancestors of the compositions of Béla Bartók. Because of these attributes, the csárdás are considered by Liszt scholars among the more interesting of the composer's late output. One potential pitfall in discussing these works is labeling them as atonal on the basis of hearing strange sonorities at the surface of the music; the Csárdás macabre, for instance, is solidly based on compositional procedures consistent with Liszt's earlier style. The music focuses on variant forms of the mediant with concomitant contrast of sharp and flat key areas—in this case F major, F-sharp minor and G-flat major.
This is the best-known of the three csárdás. The piece is written in a miniature sonata form, with the opening in parallel octaves before the famous bare fifths section, without precedent in Liszt's output. Still more intriguing is the second-subject stage of the structure. Both theories have their advocates; the composer did not indicate what he meant, though he did write on the manuscript after he had finished it, "May one write or listen to such a thing?" A favorite question of some critics is whether the fifth of the opening bar is a flattened supertonic appoggiatura or as an actual tonic. Such tonal ambiguities become common in Liszt's late works. Less known than either of the other dances, this csárdás is a short Allegro beginning as though it would be in A minor, it passes to A major ends but unsettled on F-sharp minor after much sequential modulation. This csárdás begins with a repeated F-sharp taking up where the first dance left off, before an ostinato accompaniment begins. An F-sharp major triad in the left hand is contrasted with a falling phrase beginning with an A natural in the right hand.
The piece on the whole is written in B minor-major, with major and minor chords being struck a device Liszt came to use with increasing frequency. Before the coda, the theme is transformed in B major in repeated octaves; some critics consider this work more interesting musically than its more famous cousin, the Csárdás macabre. The piece is, for lack of a better term, obsessed with a four-note motif presented at the beginning of the piece, the work's tonal excursions into the mediant and submediant place the music procedurally somewhere between Schumann and Mahler; the first recordings of these two Csárdás was by France Clidat in her traversal of Liszt's works for Decca.
