    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.

    No and only demented sociopaths put jelly on the bagel.

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

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

    What do we call it if it is also cut and filled in the conventional bagel plane?

        I like the way you think. That also leaves open the possibly of the yandwich, which is cut into three equal segments in the same way as the opening post, and the xyandwich when you combine the x and y options.

            I’ve been trying to work out if, by cutting a helix around the bagel, you can create a mobius type sandwich with two, interlinked parts.

            Moving in to higher dimensional bagel cutting is probably the sort of thing you can really make one’s brain hurt.

              I think a Mobius bagel would be a SCP artifact. In before it’s actually cataloged and numbered.
