Must love sandwiches

Would you date someone who doesn’t like Chinese Food? Or chocolate? Or wine?

What if you’re chevre on a crusty baguette and they’re Velveeta on white? You’re low carbs and they’re pancake breakfasts?

Forget about personality types, pheromones, and horoscope signs; true compatibility is all about the food.

This past spring, the Chicago-based Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation engaged nearly 3,000 people in a survey of food preferences. Participants completed standardized comprehensive psychiatric and personality tests and the results were matched with the food preferences of individuals and their romantic partners. The study revealed a strong statistical correlation between sandwich choices, personality types, and stable, romantic relationships.

? The Club

Individuals who prefer the club sandwich are agreeable, reliable, loyal, and generous. They make solid romantic partners.

Club sandwich fans are most compatible with each other or with those who choose BLT’s or turkey sandwiches.

? Ham and Cheese

Lovers of ham and cheese sandwiches are creative and curious with wide-ranging interests. While they can be thoughtful partners they often prefer independence over relationships.

? Turkey

Free-thinkers tend to be fond of turkey sandwiches. Independent, rebellious even, they need to be given a lot of space in relationships, and often choose other turkey sandwich lovers.

? Tuna fish

Aggressive, achievement-oriented, natural leaders often go for tuna fish sandwiches. They mesh well with the egg salad crowd, but can often find sparks with other tuna fish folks.

? Egg salad

Fans of egg salad are the showmen of the sandwich eaters. They are high energy, crave adventure and attention, and can be deeply romantic. They are the universal lovers, compatible with all kinds of sandwich eaters.

? Chicken salad

Easy-going and empathic, chicken salad sandwich eaters are especially well-adjusted. They pair well with the highly emotional egg salad eaters.

? Seafood salad

Giving and agreeable, those who choose seafood salad sandwiches are happiest in close, secure relationships. They value commitment and loyalty, and are drawn to solid partnerships with other seafood salad lovers and BLT fans.

? The BLT

Love the bacon, lettuce, and tomato? Love home and hearth as well. Those who favor BLT’s bring honesty and integrity to all things. They are conscientious and devoted partners who pair best with commitment-friendly seafood sandwich lovers.
