"She made a sandwich to eat on her lunch break, so he bought a ham and cheese sandwich instead. Wait, that uses it as a noun twice. Let me correct that based strictly on the adjective constraint. The prompt asks for an example where "sandwich" is used as an adjective (attributive noun). In English, food items are often placed before another noun to act adjectivally without changing form (e.g., "chicken sandwich"). However, if we must use it strictly as a modifier phrase like in the prompt's likely intent: He ordered a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. Wait, I need to ensure "sandwich" is acting as an adjective modifying another noun or serving that grammatical function clearly. Actually, the most common usage of "sandwich" where it feels adjectival is simply placing it before the food item itself (e.g., a club sandwich). But strictly speaking, attributive nouns are often just called "noun adjuncts". Let's try to find a case where it modifies a different noun or acts as an attribute. Example: The waiter brought out his favorite type of turkey sandwich. Let me re-read the constraint: "sandwich" as an adj.. This usually"
