    This is an excellent question. I might not get any work done today.

    The British sandwich association speaks:

    www.britishsandwichweek.com/what-is-a-sandwich/ has written:

    What is a Sandwich?

    The British Sandwich Association defines a sandwich as: Any form of bread with a filling, generally assembled cold – to include traditional wedge sandwiches, as well as filled rolls, baguettes, pitta, bloomers, wraps and bagels.

    Sarnies are triangles right? – Wrong!

    Around 57% of all commercially bought sandwiches are made with traditional square sandwich bread.

    Wraps account for about 5% of all sandwich sales in major retailers. The big new thing with wraps has been the hot wrap, with a number of new products being launched recently. They really do taste great hot!

    Panini sandwiches are also gaining in popularity – last year their sales rose by 14% in major retailers, although they still only account for around 2% of sandwich sales.

    Baguettes are also popular accounting for around 10% of commercially made sandwiches.

    There is much debate as to what constitutes a sandwich but burgers and other associate products are not considered to be a sandwich

    No word so far on the effect of cutting them in half.

    Who the fuck put them in charge? I'll take my sandwich directions from the Earl himself and will only kiss his boots on the matter.

    And he's dead, so ner.

    Another excellent question, with wider application. I shall block out the week.

    If I use two slices of bread to make a sandwich and cut it diagonally in half, how many sandwiches do I have?

    One. Two halves make one. It's a sandwich, not an earthworm.

    I also like the way that you can "like" your own posts. My number of likes is going to go through the roof.

    For me, any size of sandwich is a sandwich. Two bits of bread with something in between. Not necessarily a whole slice. If I cut a sandwich in half it becomes two sandwiches.

    It is only in my sixth decade on this planet that I have discovered this is not a universally-agreed definition.

    Steady on. You’re in danger of getting into “cut my pizza into 6 slices, I can’t manage 8” territory.

    Two halves of a sandwich. If you cut two slices of bread diagonally then make sanwiches out of the four halves of bread you have two sandwiches. I think
