Surely a proper toasted sandwich is one with the edges sealed? Otherwise it's just toast?
Define sandwich -
sandwich is a food typically consisting of vegetables, sliced cheese or meat, placed on or between slices of bread,
The fact the bread is toasted is immaterial. I suspect that the sealed edges aspect is a consequence of the heated / melted filling oozing out of the sides, when the toasted sandwich is made in a toasted sandwich maker.
The best toasted sandwiches are made in a frying/saute pan.
I tried this at lunchtime and I would say the bread does toast very evenly. Trouble is they lose a lot of heat while you're doing the second side. Not bad, but I think I'll stick to the Foreman.

But I'll leave it there. You're clearly on some sort of mission here, which is quite frankly baffling. Perhaps too much Christmas sherry.
But it sounds like you're missing a few.
