Poll: How many sandwiches ? (now with a poll!)

[stu.artd]

1 slice of bread cut in half + filling = 1 sandwich
2 slices of bread + filling, cut in half = 2 sandwiches
3 slices of bread + filling, cut in half = 2 doubledecker sandwiches
4 slices of bread + filling, cut in half = 2 tripledecker sandwiches
5 slices of bread + filling, cut in half = greedy *******

It's this way because 2 slices of bread plus filling can't be the same as 1 slice of bread + filling, and as one slice of bread isn't half of a sandwich this is the distintion between 1 and 2 sandwiches, or something. .

Anyway, rolls are better than sandwiches and don't cause this confusion.

No because by definition a sandwich is 2 slices of bread containing a filling, no matter how many time your cut the original sandwich the segments stll have a filling inside 2 slices of bread and thus still a sandwich

but 2 half slices of bread arnt two slices of bread, so i still dont see how it is two sandwiches

Sorry everyone:

We need a Northern perspective...

If you have a slice of bread and put a sausage in it, bit of HP and give it a roll you have a butty!! a butty as the two ends of the one slice butt up against eachother

If you have 2 slices of bread and slap a piece of Ham, Cheese and a bit of Branston pickle, you not only have a sandwich, you have an orgasm on your tastebuds. However, there is still only one sandwich, as the definition of a sandwich is two pieces of bread with a filling.

One sandwich cut in half = 2 halves, its not that hard to work out really!!!

Stu!!!! you should stop playing with your PSP and learn to make a Sarnie properly.

no one on Gods earth takes one slice of bread, cuts it in half and then adds filling.

!!!!!!PLEASE READ!!!!!!!!!



If you went into a shop and asked for a sandwich and they lady behind the counter took out a single slice of bread, cut it in half and filled with cheese and handed it to you.

Would you Say:

4. Thats not a Sandwich wheres the other half

E. Thanks love


If you choose E you are a imbosile and need your head looked at!!!

Sandwich:

sandwich, a piece of meat or other food placed between two pieces of bread. Although food in this form has long been used, the term sandwich originated in the 18th cent. It is named for John Montagu, the 4th earl of Sandwich, an inveterate gambler who ate informally at the gaming table rather than stopping for the set meal.

The important word is pieces. 2 slices of bread with filling cut into triangles totals 4 pieces of bread with a filling sandwiched between them. Ergo 2 sandwiches.

LOL

It's very simple. You're all getting caught up with the regular "slices" of bread, when in fact, you shouldn't.

A sandwich is a filling 'sandwiched' between two "pieces" of bread. If it's got bread on the outside and something eadible on the inside, then it's a sandwich. Ergo two regular slices of bread, with a filling inbetween, cut in half, is two sandwiches.

End of.

LOL

 

[keja]

technically its one sandwich, but its kinda like the half empty/half full glass thing, depends on how you like looking at things

How wrong can one person be?

The only sandwiching taking place is between the original 2 slices.

You have subsequently made a diagonal bisection of the sandwich, producing two triangular sandwich segments.

Did you read my post? They are freaky similar!

 

[Gilly]

Taking from your post, very, very, very wrong

Did you read my post? They are freaky similar!

I did (when you posted it again). Must be cos I'm smashed and we're both cool dudes.

Lol, tbh I've never found it a problem.

 

[Mickey_D]

Ok, here we go again.....

This is a sandwich.

What you get if you order a sandwich. Not what you get if you order TWO sandwiches!! It's a sandwich cut into two halves. Not two sandwiches.



Thank you for your time.

1.

"How many sandwiches would you like Sir, 1 or 2?"

"Two please"

*proceeds to slice one sandwich in half*

What?!!!!? Where the hell do you get your sandwiches?! If I'm in a sandwich shop, and order 2 sandwiches (e.g. "Hello, I would like 2 bacon sandwiches please."), I expect, (and have always received) a total of 4 slices of bread, in 2 sets, each 2 slices sandwiching the bacon, and each sandwich cut diagonally in half. I'd be extremely disgruntled to order 2 sandwiches to see the person serving me to simply cut one in half and give that to me.

2. Folding one slice of bread in half makes a lame sandwich, and one I will refuse to make, except in exceptional circumstances.

3. Making 1 sandwich and then cutting it in half results in 2 halves of one sandwich.

4. Cutting the original slices of bread in half first and then making sandwiches from the new slices results in 2 sandwiches.

Conclusion: However many times you perform the action of sandwiching something between 2 slices of bread (whatever shape or size the slices are) is how many sandwiches you get. However many times you divide up 2 slices of bread with which the sandwiching has only been performed once is how many fractions of 1 sandwich you will get.

It's one sandwich, cut in two. As Mickey D says above, if I went to a cafe and asked for a sandwich I would get (for arguments sake) 2 normal slices of bread with a filling. If I went back to the cafe the next day and asked for 2 sandwichs, would they bring me the same thing, but cut in half? No. Hence one sandwich, cut into two.

Same goes for a big cake. If I have a chocloate cake and cut it into eight pieces, I don't suddenly have eight cakes do I? I have 1 cake, cut into 8 slices. Same with a sandwich.

haha, cant believe this thread is still going!!!!!

I repeat what a sandwich is -

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.

Actually, normally in a cafe and you ask for a sandwich you get a triple. 3 triangles.

Repeat it all you like but it doesn't answer the question given :/

Do you? It's not something I buy often I have to admit, but I did say for arguments sake

The point however is still valid. If I order 1 sandwich and get brought 3 triangles, I haven't been given 3 sandwiches and I certainly won't be charged for 3 sandwiches. Just the one.

 

[Cookie-Monster]

OK the answer is 1, there is no other answer. but on a slightly different note, why do sandwiches and toast for that matter taste better cut in triangles than in squares?
