    It’s clearly two sandwichs.

    The bold move would be to have the other side have the peanut butter and jelly swapped around. I’d call that the ouroboroswich.

    [edit] what if it only had 1 cut? I think that’d be a taco

    [edit 2] a torus cut once makes a cylinder. So really, it’s a double decker sandwich

    [edit 3] but it’s cylinders that loop back on themselves. Is it a mobiuswhich or a Klien Wich?

    [edit n] help

        The Cube Rule is the most definitive and authoritative categorization of food topology I have encountered. I refer to it often in food related arguments.

      So sandwich is the parent category, and hot dogs are a type of sandwich? Are burgers, too?

      Oh no I accidentally started researching, there is an actual British Sandwich Association that defines sandwich as “any form of bread with a filling, generally assembled cold”. The USDA, however, has different definitions for open and closed sandwiches and it depends on the percentage amounts of bread and meat… I guess if you put cheese on your bread its not a sandwich at all!

        Heresy! I demand the BSA’s definition to be accepted and adopted everywhere! “if you put cheese on your bread its not a sandwich at all!” - this is unbeliveable and hilarious

          Any form of bread with a filling, generally assembled cold

          But, dare I say, does that not make a ravioli a sandwich? A poptart? Mayhaps even … Lasagna?

          Ah, you proclaim! But those are cooked further!

          But so too is a grilled cheese! And a patty melt!

          Where will the madness end?

          I know, lol. Seriously how many well-known sandwiches have “cheese” or “melt” right in their name?!

      Pretty sure flatbread predated leavened bread, so it’s reasonable to conclude tacos predated both hot dogs and sandwiches.

      Conclusion: Hot dogs are tacos, sandwiches are broken tacos.

    If you have a strong opinion either way that’s fine with me, I don’t want to argue it with you.

    It is a sandwich because the toppings are sandwiched between bread. But it’s not a good sandwich.

    This appears to be a variation of the “standwich.” Please see the attached for an example.

      I miss when Tesco Value ham would label itself as such, rather than hiding behind fake farm names.

      The question is, if this appears on a captcha asking to click only on the sandwich images. Would you click on it?

    Some men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

    It’s two sandwiches…topologically speaking.

    If you take the traditional idea of a sandwich and draw a loop around the plane where the surfaces come together you get a mathematical sandwich.

    Since the bagel abomination has two such areas and you can draw non-intersecting loops around each, it follows that there are indeed two sandwiches present.

      That depends on your definition of a sandwichable surface. If crust can be buttered as well and is considered equal to cut surfaces (which, coming from a rye bread country, is certainly the case with these fluffy things), then this is simply a sandwich without filling in the middle. This might also be achieved by suboptimal spreading on a single surface.
