Sandwiches, how many do you have?

[Eveysdad]

I remember having a discussion about this a few years ago at work, so let's ask:

I have 2 slices of bread, I butter both of them, put cheese, ham and pickle on one and put the other on top, I then cut it directly in half.

How many sandwiches do I have? 1 or 2

I wonder if this thread will turn into a bunfight...

A hamburger is a sandwich. If you cut it in half, you wouldn't call it two hamburgers.

Anyone who says 2 sandwiches is mental. I can't just go cut a car in half and have 2 cars, can't cut a TV in half and have 2 TV's. Lol. Mentalists I tells you .

What about toast? If a round of sandwiches is two slices of bread (which it is) how many slices of bread are needed to make a round of toast?

"Round" of sandwiches is British English, by the way. We don't use that expression in the US for sandwiches or toast. An "order" of toast is usually two slices.

A round of sandwiches uses two rounds of bread. Making them into a sandwich makes them one item - one round of sandwiches.

Therefore - cut it half you still have one sandwich.

2 rounds normally, cut into triangle halves.

If you cut a worm in half, you get 2 worms.

I hate the kind of people who offer you toast but only give you one slice. That's not even a snack.

Aaaaargh. Nobody is going to be "right". Let me out of here!

The same discussion can be had about a piece of paper, btw
