Oversized sandwiches are sometimes called _dagobertmackor_ in Swedish, from _Dagobert_, the name of said character in the Swedish translation of the comic, and _macka_, an informal word for a sandwich (or simply a piece of bread with cheese or whatever on). Is there an English word for a "half" sandwich, which lacks the upper bread? Andreas
