ESL Podcast 665 – Types of Sandwiches

　　Geraldo: I am so hungry. When can we go eat?
Natasha: Just another minute and I’ll be finished here. What do you have a craving¹ for?
Geraldo: I want a good sandwich, maybe a BLT or a pastrami on rye. Now that I think of it, a Reuben or a club sandwich would really hit the spot. I wonder if Nathan’s is still open.
Natasha: I doubt it. It’s really late.
Geraldo: In that case, maybe we can find a diner where I can get a French dip or a cheesesteak sandwich. I’d even settle for a tuna or chicken salad sandwich.
Natasha: The nearest diner is closed for renovations, remember?
Geraldo: What are we going to do?
Natasha: I know of a place that’s open and ready to serve.
Geraldo: Where?
Natasha: My place.
Geraldo: You can make me a good sandwich?
Natasha: You’ll have a choice of grilled² cheese or peanut butter and jelly³. What do you say?
Geraldo: I guess beggars can’t be choosers.
