This Sandwich Has No Mayonnaise

"This Sandwich Has No Mayonnaise" is a short story by J. D. Salinger published in Esquire in October 1945.^[1] The story was published in the 1958 anthology The Armchair Esquire, edited by Arnold Gingrich and L. Rust Hills.

The story describes Vincent Caulfield's experience at a Georgia boot camp before embarking for the war. ^[2] He is upset because his brother Holden (as described in "Last Day of the Last Furlough") is missing in action, and is unable to accept the possibility Holden may be dead.^[3]

In an episode of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, a virtual movie theater lobby, filled with other Salinger esoterica, displays a poster for a feature titled "May I have a Mayonnaise?".
