And prosciutto is a very specific sort of ham rather different from what most people mean when they say "ham" in reference to sandwich meat.

means that the symbol Condiments can be/must be substituted for by possibly relish, possibly mustard, and possibly ketchup OR by mayonnaisse (that is, it can't be present with the others).
Basically, the [ ] mean an item is optional, ( ) are used to group things like in math (so we see what goes together, but it doesn't mean any operation is being performed), and | is a way of saying or.

Certainly, but its not a legal sandwich in my grammar. The syntax is wrong, which means it has flawed semantics Posts: 15770 | Registered: Dec 2001

But how does that translate to not having relish on the same sandwich as relish? That doesn't even make SENSE?

I admit I don't fully understand your syntactical system, but here goes:
Shigosei = age sex location age = "19" sex = "female" location = "Oregon" | "Arizona"
Fugu, I'd like a turkey sandwich on wheat bread with mustard. And I'm afraid despite your parameters I'm going to have some illicit lettuce on it as well.
