Tomato sandwich

... that the best tomato sandwiches (pictured) are so messy they may need to be eaten over the kitchen sink? Source: https://gardenandgun.com/articles/the-souths-best-tomato-sandwiches/ "The very best tomato sandwich is the one you eat while leaning over the kitchen sink, impervious to the Duke's mayonnaise getting on your fingers and the tomato juice dribbling down your chin. Or so says nearly every story that's ever been written about the South's most beloved sandwich, a glorious summertime treat."

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Great expansion; very informative article on a local delicacy. QPQ and Earwig all good. The problem is the hook, which is misleadingly written in wikivoice. The hook needs to make clear that it is not stating an objective fact, but referring to an opinion from the cited source. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 21:58, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the review, CurryTime7-24 -- would this work:

ALT0a: ... that the best tomato sandwiches (pictured) are so messy, enthusiasts recommend they be eaten over the kitchen sink?

Valereee (talk) 22:37, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

This is better, but "best sandwiches" and their suggested ideal method of eating are both opinions from the cited source. Slight adjustments to ALT0a should solve this issue. Thanks for the reply! —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 23:08, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

ALT0b: ... that enthusiasts consider the best tomato sandwiches (pictured) to be so messy that they should be eaten over the kitchen sink?

Thanks, Pppery...maybe a slight tweak:

ALT0c: ... that some enthusiasts consider the best tomato sandwiches (pictured) to be those so messy they should be eaten over the kitchen sink?

ALT1: ... that some enthusiasts consider being so messy it needs to be eaten over the kitchen sink one of the marks of a good tomato sandwich (pictured)?

Ping CurryTime7-24 -- does one of these work for you? Valereee (talk) 17:48, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Both ALT0c and ALT1 are dandy, thanks! Great work. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 18:14, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
