    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.

    This is clearly a sandwich. The confusion comes from how absurdly sub-optimal its construction is.

    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.

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

      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 it’s 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?!

    No and only demented sociopaths put jelly on the bagel.

    Peanut butter goes best with cinnamon raisin bagels should you choose a bagel.
