When I was a teenager, I worked in a sandwich shop a lot like Subway today. One of us would start with the bun meat and cheese then pass it down to the guy doing the produce. If the customer wanted all the produce on his sandwich, we would just say drag it thru the garden to let him know that the customer wanted everything on it.
 
Working on my fruit binders (apple) and came across this. We have not made it yet, just wondering if anyone else has.
