Help settle a sandwich disagreement
- Thread starter mr steev
- Start date
A round of sandwiches would be 2 slices of bread.
One and a half rounds would actually involve 4 slices of bread, 2 whole slices and 2 half slices. The other 2 half slices would make up half of a further round. So there.
Oh, and sandwiches always taste better cut on the diagonal. As any fule kno.

IS it possible to have this debate summarised in a Venn Diagram?

It hasn't exactly solved the matter
I mentioned the subject to a few mates last night after a few beers and spliffs, which ended up getting quite deep, with some tenuous cake analogies, which were later dismissed as a cake is meant for sharing, where as a sandwich is meant to feed one... I never realised it was such a contentious issue!

I am often over there, but I have never seen anyone that looks like I think you look like. Even if I did, I don't know if I would approach you. I get all shy, I do!
The Doctor said:It's clearly 2 sandwiches.
To prove the point how many sandwiches are here?
It's clearly a buffet!
I think this is getting too technical!
My point being that if today you walked into a sandwich shop and asked for a sandwich with any filling you would by default expect the sandwich to have 2 slices and filling, if you received your version of sandwiches you would receive one slice of bread folded in half with your filling of choice, which doesn't happen.
Why is that Mr Ste

Something along the lines of: if you had a victoria sandwich and cut it in half you wouldn't have 2 cakes therefore it would be a peice or slice of a sandwich. Then onto the fact that a cake and sandwich are different as you would expect to share a cake, whereas a sandwich (regardless of it's size or how many peices of bread were involved) was a food specifically for being eaten by one person... er iyswim

A buffet consisting of a dozen little sandwiches!
I have just been told that if I have kids I will be starving them cos everytime they ask me for a sandwich I will only give them half

What! Firstly, that is clearly a buffet, granted, but there are in fact only (counts) 3 sandwiches represented bread wise as some fucker has been cutting the rounds up into quarters, presumably to disguise the paucity in numbers of actual sandwiches. To complicate matters, you have at least 5 seperate types of filling there, suggesting that what you in fact have is a bastardised amalgam of at least 5 sandwiches.
Shoot the caterer, thats what I say.

Please.
Its not open topped, its just too big to fit in one photo!
Although if it is, in fact, open topped, I will reconsider and find a different photo, because open topped sandwiches are indeed a different kettle of fish. In fact, I would go so far as to say they ain't sandwiches at all, and as such are outside the bounds of this enquiry.
