I've uploaded the picture of the sandwich to povray.binaries.images. 
It's called snack.  At the time, DKBTrace managed textures for an entire 
object and didn't allow you to say "for this part of a CSG difference, 
use this texture".  This means that for the bread, it wasn't possible to 
texture the crust separately from the flat side.  It all had to be the 
same texture.  The same applies to the ham - it wasn't possible to get a 
dark outside with a light inside.

Tom was just being creative.  He modeled two pieces of bread that 
overlapped in space.  One was a bit flatter and longer and the other was 
thicker and shorter.  The long flatter one had a dark color and appeared 
as the crust.  The thicker shorter one had a light color and appeared as 
the cut side of the bread.

In response to this image, I added the ability to separately texture 
different parts of a CSG so you can do it with a single object and apply 
the textures differently for every CSG part.
