Trivia
In South Australia, there is a local variant of the roll, partially like the club sandwich. In this recipe, the bread roll is sliced three times with parallel cuts, and filling is put in the first and third openings, but not the second. This makes the resulting double cut roll easier to handle: the top half and the bottom half are eaten separately.
