I'd like a large portion of ham sandwich please!

That is a breakthrough. Your Jedi mind tricks serve you well. Unfortunately, they only work on the very weak-minded.Gilly said:Xkimo was the one that made the breakthrough. At first he was adamant it was 1 sandwich in 2 halves (which of course I'm not contesting) and to answer 2 was madness, but once we went through it and I repeated some of the explanations I've made in this thread he saw sense and realised that as the 2 halves also stand alone and fulfill their function separately that the answer is more likely to be 2 than 1
I can count past one, just not when I half it!solitude said:"Being a tray of tea sandwiches, not a tray of sandwichs"
So you agree, they are all independant sandwiches, not halfs, quarters or any other measure some people are using to avoid having to count past 1

I agree that they are all independant tea sandwiches, or quarters of whole sandwichs. To state that each one is a whole sandwich in it's own right is madness, frankly. If I ordered a sandwich and got given simply a quarter like that I'd go ape!

There's one sandwich but two slices.
If you cut a car in half it's still one car but in two halves.
If you cut a car in half it's still one car but in two halves.
If you cut a car in half it does not fulfill its definition of a car anymore. If you cut a sandwich in half, it still fulfills the dictionary defintion of a sandwich, and as such can be classes as a sandwich, independant, on it's own.
It's simple really.

I agree, a tea sandwich is merely another term for a quarter or half sandwich. A tea cake on the otherhand is neither a cake nor a portion of a cake

It's well worth the read. Dedicate some time and go through all of it. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll bang your head on your desk.Mint_Sauce said:Reading 25 pages about sandwiches is a little too much for me this afternoon.

All you need to do is read the first post then come to the conclusion (as most of us have already) that the answer is 1 sandwich cut in half and that some people just don't "get it"

I've got a £20 note here. I'm going to cut in half, because I'll get 2 x £20's from it.
Really, some people don't understand the concept of quantity.

If you ignore the value of the note, it's a piece of paper.
Cut in two, do you have 2 half-pieces of paper? Or do you have 2 pieces of paper.
Tis simple.
