Sandwiches!

[elginred]

Long standing argument...


If you made a sandwich with two slices of bread and cut it in half, would you then have one sandwich or two?

I would call (two slices of bread) *one round* of sandwiches. In one caf� in my market they used to sell one piece of bread with filling etc as one sandwich - everyone used to think they were really cheap until they realised they were only getting half rations... then the arguments started ! Everywhere else - two slices of bread = 1 sandwich. Think about what a *sandwich* means....

2 sandwiches....ive just had 2 ham and tomato......

Lol@cazzz

Hmmm, depends where you cut the sandwich.If you cut in in half, then you would have 2, but if you cut it in the middle through all the stuff on it, then you would still have 1 sandwich...

now you makings things complicated mr.ben5. wouldn't cutting in the middle be the same as cutting in half?

[MrBen5]

Hmmm, come to mention it, the sky is actually really blue today.
Everyone knows the sky is blue because of global warming...

[MrBen5]

Not really cove. Take a triagle, you cut it in the middle, you have a hole, you cut it in half, you have 2 triangles still...

Legend, I can't be as bored (or boring) as you. You've replied twice already!

But thanks to Jugglering. I always thought it was 1 sandwich, until someone pointed out that a sandwich made with one slice of bread was still a sandwich! Then, instead of bored, I thought I woudl pose the question to others.

Obviously legend, I should have just kept it to myself.

I would say its one sandwich but my kids would say two, Its the same with toast in my house, I was surprised when my son told me he often had 4 pieces of toast for tuck at school, I automatically thought he meant 4 slices of bread, but it was 2 slices cut in half...very confusing lol

[MrBen5]

Ahhh, but slooow_jo your son was right. He did actually have 4 pieces.
Peoples perceptions vary. Its like when you go out in town and you offer to buy a lady a drink. Some automatically percieve that you want something in return for buying her a drink. Very confusing things are women...

[Slooow_Jo]

I realise that now MrBen, he was talking pieces & I was talking slices but we got there in the end lol
