AIBU to think two slices of bread = ONE sandwich??

[cherrycola2004]

I can't recall how we got onto this topic but a man at work seems to think that two slices of bread with a filling and cut in half is TWO sandwiches.

Whereas I think two slices of bread with filling is ONE sandwich cut in half...

What day you ?

One sandwich and I would be vexed by someone referring to the ground as the floor.

No, definitely ONE sandwich

YANBU - two slices of bread with a filling in between = 1 round of sandwiches whether it is whole or cut in two (or 4 with the crusts off ).

2 sandwiches!

Trojans you can't take 1 sandwich and cut it into 4 and make 4 sandwiches!

Would like a sandwich for lunch?

Yes please.

Here have a miniscule scraping of cheese and half a slice of cucmber.

That's not a sandwich!

Yes it is, I made 1 sandwich and then cut it into 36 triangles. Shut the fuck up and eat your sandwich!

I had this discussion with a friend the other day, as her DP was debating the exact same thing.
We decided (and we are right, we decided) that 2 slices of bread, buttered and put together and cut in half = a sandwich.
1 slice of bread, buttered and folded in half = a sandwich, albeit a small one.

According to my ds, if it's cut in half, it's 2 sandwiches. If cut in four, it's four sandwiches. And he gets angry that I gave him too many.

That's true dedication.

It is one sandwich!

One sandwich. I think it's used as a question to ascertain sanity. The answer 'two' raises alarm bells..

I always thought a round of sandwiches or toast involved many sandwiches or slices. A round as in is they can be passed around several people. I shall investigate!!

What about those supermarket packs of three with different fillings? Three sandwiches? DH says a sandwich and a half. I say would three sandwiches, specifying triangles if necessary. Different filling, different sandwich.

Ok I'd discovered the reason for round:

Back before sliced bread (Aka plastic bread by some) all loaves were round (round ish anyway).

So a slice of bread = a round of bread. Meaning a round of toast is one slice (because it's round in shape).

A round of sandwiches is made from two slices. Because if you made a sandwich out of one slice you'd need to cut it in half (Or fold it if you were a heathen) then it's not round in shape. A two slice sandwich would be round in shape (even cut in half).

One piece of bread is one round - surely?

Yes. Said that. Keep up Clankboing

you can't take 1 sandwich and cut it into 4 and make 4 sandwiches!

You could continue ad infinitum and end up with a homeopathic sandwich which is just an empty plate.

Trojans, if you were to ask someone to nip to Tesco and get you two sandwiches, would you expect to get one pack (of two halfs) or two?

A round of sandwiches is 2 slices of bread.

Fuckit2017 yes, precisely.
I am bemused by the seemingly prevalent view that two sandwiches are actually one.

Wonder if this is how that Jesus chap feed loads of people with just a few loaves and a few fish.

He sliced up the loaves and mashed the fish up. Then shared the mashed fish between the slices (two at a time) the cut up each one so that everyone got a piece and just said 'It's still a sandwich. Obvs. Stop mithering'. Word then got round all 49,864 people there got a sandwich.

I bet it was tinned sardines and margarine on Mothers Pride.
