Farmer H Prepares For Pot Luck

Farmer H will be working at a local polling place again for the November election. Last time he took a cheese and meat tray, a package of Hawaiian rolls, and two packs of cookies. 

When I was getting Farmer H his sandwiches for lunches Saturday and Sunday at his SUS2 (Storage Unit Store 2), I saw a new item at Country Mart's deli. It was a large sandwich. Farmer H has been looking for a place to get one of these for a while. That's what he'd been thinking of taking to his family reunion last summer. He doesn't go to the Devil's Playground much, and sometimes they are out of the big sandwiches anyway.

"Hey, I saw a big sandwich at Country Mart! It was on French bread, and weighed more than a baby, it felt like! It cost $19.99, but there's a lot of meat and cheese on it. It would probably be cheaper than the triangle sandwiches I get you now for your store. Especially since you're sharing them with Old Buddy. The two sandwich packs I get you are $6.99 each, and you get four servings out them. This sandwich would give you at least six big servings. Probably more like eight. With a lot more stuff on them. We could have it for a meal here, and then you take the rest to your store."

"Huh. You can get that for me next time. I might do that for election day!"

The way he talked about the last election, only a couple people could go back to eat at the same time. Farmer H could slice his sandwich, take it in a disposable container, and maybe people would just take out their portion, and not leave the whole thing sitting out on the table all day.
