This has got to be one of the craziest threads ever!

There is no answer - hence why the debate has lasted so long

So if you have a whole sandwich with two whole pieces of bread and cut it in half you then have 4 bits of bread with filling.
Daz, looks like we have a convert

Does this remind anyone of the chicken and the egg debate at all?

"How many sandwiches would you like Sir, 1 or 2?"
"Two please"
*proceeds to slice one sandwich in half*

I'd feel cheated! So if you asked for 1 sandwich then you'd have the same amount of food as if you asked for 2?!!Abyss said:

I conclude that if you are making it yourself or buying it from a sandwich shop then it is ONE sandwich but if you are eating a small triangle from a buffet etc then that small triangle is also one sandwich
The Great Sandwich mystery = solved
I can't believe it!

in any cafe, restaurante, etc i have been to if you ask for a (1) sandwich you get two pieces of bread with filling (not always a lot of filling) and are generally served it cut into two halves, asked if you want it cut or its left whole (eeww).
Who can HONESTLY say they have ever been served a sandwich as anything other than two pieces of bread, filled and hopefully cut in half and served as two pieces not one?
anyway, any man who can say one sandwich (yes thats two pieces of bread) is enough for his lunch doesnt work hard enough

I think
Q: If I were to cut a piece of paper in half, would I have two pieces of paper, or two half pieces of paper?
A: Two pieces of paper.
Q: I cut a third off a rug to fit my into my room. Do I have a rug in my room or a fraction of a rug?
A: A rug.
Wake up!

They're called sandwich quarters on a buffet platter.

This thread was a tough read, but I didn't see another point made:
Go to McDonalds. Buy a sandwich. Take it back to your table. Cut it into quarters (or have them cut it). Eat it. Then tell your mate you just snarfed down four Big Macs.
It's one sandwich, no matter how you slice it. *pun intended*

I have lost the argument
The word sandwich that we use today was born in London during the very late hours one night in 1762 when an English nobleman, John Montagu, the Fourth Earl of Sandwich (1718-1792), was too busy gambling to stop for a meal even though he was hungry for some food. The legend goes that he ordered a waiter to bring him roast-beef between two slices of bread. The Earl was able to continue his gambling while eating his snack; and from that incident, we have inherited that quick-food product that we now know as the sandwich. He apparently had the meat put on slices of bread so he wouldn’t get his fingers greasy while he was playing cards. It’s strange that the name of this sex fiend should have gone down in history connected to such an innocent article of diet.

Ok, having grown up in Canada, Australia, Scotland, United States, been to England, Ireland, Phillipines, Japan, Korea (N & S), Thailand, Russia, Germany, Poland, Mexico, U.A.E., Iraq, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi, China and several other places that I've forgotten how to spell correctly, I can honestly say I've NEVER had anyone try and pass of 1/2 a sandwich as a whole!! That's just silly!!
You as kme for a sandwich, what I'll give you is two complete pieces of bread with filler in between cut diagonally.
If I asked you for a sandwich and you only gave me one of the two above mentioned portions, you'd get a really wierd look and asked "where's the rest of me sammy?".
Plain as!! When it comes to food, there's full portions and 1/2 portions. By cutting a full portion in 1/2 you do not magically end up with two portions!! You get two half portions!!
DUH!!

Five star thread!
I'd class one sandwich as a filling between two complete slices of bread. As said above, I'd be pretty narked if I asked for two sandwiches and got one round of sandwiches cut in half. The only exception I'd make to this rule is for buffet sandwiches, since they are cut up and distributed as individual portions and therefore not identifiable as being from a particular round.
Folding a single slice of bread around a filling is not a sandwich.
