The Haggadah, a Jewish text read during the annual Passover Seder, says that Hillel made sandwiches using Paschal lamb, bitter herbs and unleavened matzoh bread. In Jewish tradition, during the Seder dinner, participants remember this by creating their own matzoh sandwiches.

The moderators said that all sandwiches are welcome on the subreddit, so determining what makes a good one is subjective and varies among the members.
