Help settle a sandwich disagreement

but if someone asks you what you have for lunch*, do you say "i have a sandwich" ?

I do.

So it's one sandwich.

* or did I mean dinner ?

If I got a slice of bread, buttered it covered half in cheese, folded the bread over... would that be a sandwich?

No, that is a cheesy "Piece"

And the picture is a round of sandwiches which is only one. :)
 
It's clearly 2 sandwiches.

To prove the point how many sandwiches are here?

What have people got against crusts anyway?

they are dry and tasteless and often have the least amount of sandwich filling to compensate for this. They are not 'the best bit' and I'm a grown-up now and don't have to eat them if I don't want to.

And pret baguette things are like tree bark. Why? Why would you do that?
 
Once the pieces of a sandwich are sufficiently removed from one another, they become seperate sandwiches.

This is all too confusing. I propose the following nomenclature:

2 slices of bread enclosing a filling = A sandwich
Any subdivision thereof = A slice of sandwich

There you go. Just like cake.

some, some sandwiches.

If you went to the shop to order those you would say It's for 5 people so let's say we get 6 sandwiches 2 with egg mayo, 2 with tuna and sweetcorn and 2 with pastrami and dill pickle. the sandwich maker man would make six sandwiches then cut them up into dainties* to arrange on the platter.

* I have decided that henceforth these little quarter thingies will be dainty sandwiches or 'dainties' :)
 
I agree with the person who said that it is one round of sandwiches, but, in that picture, the round of sandwiches is two.

If it had been cut into four, it would be a round of sandwiches which contained four.

When we are ordering sandwiches for a meeting, we talk in "rounds", and try to get one and a half rounds per person, which could be three sandwiches or six sandwiches, but involves two slices of bread.

End of.

A round and a half is 2 slices of bread? :confused:

A "dainty" is a cake, isn't it? One of those brightly coloured and very sweet little things that grannies used to give to their grandchildren?

A "round" is two slices of bread. Did I mistype?

We ask for a round and a half for each person at meetings, because we are greedy.

I fear we may have just fanned the flames of the OP's sandwich disagreement.

Ever one to help might I just bring to the table the 'open sandwich'

Hastily retreats.... :D

Same as. Chinese Buffet in Strutton Ground I think :D
I don't work that way anymore, although I go over there quite often, including yesterday, and looked for an urban smoker.

That used to be called a "Danish sandwich" when I was at school, and they were trying to do something radical and new and exciting for us! :eek:

Another thing which is simply wrong.

What about the breadless sandwich that they do in places like Boots and Pret?
