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

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

Considering the captcha doesn’t actually know, and just judges if you are correct based off of other users entries I would click on it. My guess is most users would click it, but it’s ambiguous enough that you’d probably pass the captcha either way.

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

Ah, so this one would be a double horseshoe standwich?

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

I’m here for this energy

Okay hear me out, what about the peanut butter on one axis (either conventional sandwich, or this rotated 90 degrees) and the jelly as it is here

What are we dealing with then? This might transcend the cube system of food categorisation.

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.

But what is the abomination I’ve described? I don’t think it fits.

I’m not ready for a world where the cube rule isn’t all encompassing

I suppose it is neither a taco or a sand which, however it lives within the sandwich family. What’s weird is if we take the inner radius as it runs towards zero it would look no different to a sandwich (save the weirdly thick bread that looks similar to a burger), but it would be topologically different shape.

I suppose it depends on if you consider a bagle split more naturally a sandwich or not, and, if so, then it matters if the if the space of the filling being connected matters or not.

Hmm… so a steak is a salad, and a salad is nachos? Something screwy here…

Salad is only nachos if it contains croutons, won ton strips, or some other form of free-floating non-structural starch.

The everything bagel needs to include smaller everything bagels on it or it doesn’t include everything.

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.

I’m pretty sure it counts as a sandwich as defined by the ham sandwich theorem. The only part that might be debatable is that the filling is not a single connected volume, but that doesn’t seem to be required by the proof.
