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

[ElvisFan]

Two, because you made them separately.

If you'd made the sarnie and then cut it you'd have pieces of one sandwich.

Obviously this is all pedantic nonsense but fun I guess.

 

[Gilly]

Its the same ingredients and the same method, simply switched around a little.

I like it how its pedantic nonsense now I've pointed out holes in your theory, but it was fine whilst you wrote out lines and lines of opinion

Don't be a silly billy.

You have found NO holes in my theory. If you see the baguette reference I covered the instance you just described.

 

[Scam]

Dunno if its been mentioned, but if you ordered a pizza and the guy turned up at your door with a slice, would you be happy? No.

Stop being ridiculous. Its one sandwich cut into half. 2 bits of bread make a sandwich no matter what you do with it afterwards. Thats the definition of a sandwich; a filling between two slices of bread.

 

[SexyGreyFox]

One round of bread = one sandwich = no argument
Cutting them in half begins to make soldiers.

-Two or more slices of bread with a filling such as meat or cheese placed between them.
- One slice of bread covered with a filling.

Well, that doesnt help us.

 

[Rich_L]

There is no argument that 2 slices of bread with filling constitutes a sandwich.

The crux of the matter is what then happens once you start to slice up said sandwich.

And everyone with sense agrees that you slice a sandwich in half, you end up with 2 sandwiches.

Picture the scenario - you are at a buffet where there is a plate full of sandwiches which have been made by quartering a 2-slice sandwich.

A person asks "how many sandwiches have you eaten?"

Do you divide your answer by 4, or just state the obvious - the number of sandwiches you have eaten. It's simple!!!

3) Take one enormous baguette. Cut it longitudinally. Put in filling. Close baguette together. ONE sandwich. Cutting it now will give you PIECES of the sandwich.

Elvisfan is way out of the building.
A baguette is not a sandwich.

 

[Fusion]

What if you fuse two sandwiches together? Few would deny that it makes one. So, if you cut that one in half again, is it not the case that you get your original two back? If you think not, then either you're denying that there were two initially, or a sandwich has annihilated itself.

So if you cut one piece of bread in half and made a sandwich out of that and did the same with another piece of bread would you have two sandwiches then?

 

[Freefaller]

It's one sandwich cut in half

Besides you should be using baguette and not slices of bread

If I were to get a 2ft baguette and make a sandwich out of it I'd a) be very greedy b) I'd have one very big sandwich. If you cut it in half you have 2 sandwiches because they are still both very big and big enough to be called one sandwich.

Because you're using sliced bread it's a little different. You're using 2 slices (no idea what "round of bread" is?!) of bread to make 1 sandwich. You then cut it in half, and it's just that 1 sandwich cut in half. It doesn't multiply, it gets divided!

 

[Redwalar]

If you use a loaf then you don’t have a sandwich at all just a tenth of a loaf with some filling.

 

[neil-ste]

Im still confused as to all of this "round" of bread nonsense.

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=round

No mention there of baked good cut into manageable portions.

How you southern lot can argue about sandwiches when you can't even name the fundemental constituent parts is just.........wrong.

 

[ElvisFan]

If I were to get a 2ft baguette and make a sandwich out of it I'd a) be very greedy b) I'd have one very big sandwich. !

If you've never had a two-foot baguette with ten sausages in it, in the space of a fifteen minute tea-break then your a lightweight

Yes I did cut the baguette up after making the sausage monster, but that didn't mean I had more than one sandwich. The monster had been quartered, that's all.

 

[SexyGreyFox]

The monster had been quartered, that's all.

No - you turned them into soldiers.

 

[Fusion]

Baguettes can't spawn soldiers.

So if you cut one piece of bread in half and made a sandwich out of that and did the same with another piece of bread would you have two sandwiches then?

Huh? You'd have one sandwich with a different filling in each half. You've still used two slices of bread. Honestly, the only problem i see is the buffet example

Heres another question, say you bought for lunch one of those sandwich packs from Marks and Spencers - the big ones with 4 "triangles" in. Later someone asked you what you had for lunch. What would you say? I'd say a sandwich.

 

[Redwalar]

Im still confused as to all of this "round" of bread nonsense.

A round of bread is a slice, two rounds is two slices etc. I’m from Liverpool and understood that so it not a southern thing as I tend to use round as well.

Sequoia has proved 1=2, read his post sandwich n00bs.

"sarnies"

So if 1 = 2 and 2 = 2 then all answers are 2.

So you agreed with me all along, you just didn't know it
