Absolutely. Gotta work through the bad bits to make the reward all the sweeter.

[–] SlacksMcTavish@lemmy.ml 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And the bad bits? Still sandwich. We are truly blessed to live in the age of plentiful sandwiches.

What a pioneer

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Montagu,_4th_Earl_of_Sandwich

It is commonly said that Lord Sandwich, during long sessions of cribbage and other card games at public gambling houses, would order his valet to bring him roast beef between two pieces of toasted bread.[9] He was fond of this form of food because it allowed him to continue gambling while eating, without the need for a fork, and without getting his cards greasy from eating meat with his bare hands.

Is this just gerrymandering in sandwich form?

[–] Pipster@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago

Absolutely

I feel so seen

I fairly recently learned I have Celiac disease...I miss a proper sandwich (I've yet to find a gluten free bread that doesn't suck, though I haven't gotten into trying the really boujee ones that are the cost of a whole loaf for a few slices of bread). When I was able to eat sandwiches though, I totally did this.

Try the fancy ones. If you like them, buy a bread maker and look up/try different recipes/flours until you find one you like.

Means you can even have it hot when it's just cooked!

[–] trashxeos@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Thanks for the tip. I'm too broke for that right now but when finances hopefully improve in the nearish future, maybe I'll try the expensive stuff.

[–] Nighed@feddit.uk 2 points 2 days ago

Wow, they're a lot more expensive now! I got mine for £50.....

Inflation man....

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No, I'm not a Barbarian. It would cost nothing to cut that sandwich into four squares or triangles.

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Triangles? Oh you're fancy

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh aye - I don't often do triangles for myself - I'm not worth it - but I do do them for other people, so they know they're special :)

[–] DearMoogle@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I just pull the crust off honestly😆

[–] Patch@feddit.uk 9 points 2 days ago

Come on mate, you've got to earn it.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 days ago

Too wasteful for my taste

[–] CallMeAnAI@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

This is only half done. You need to pick it up by the center now and finish the job for one last glorious bite.

[–] FishFace@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Everyone who has even a shred of self respect, that's who

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

this approach to life is only wrong with small foods you have multiple of. nothing feels more pettily desperate than finally working your way down through a tin of biscuits to the perfect specimens... and then having someone appear out of nowhere asking "hey can i have one?" >:| yes, you can have one |:< enjoy the perfect bites >:|
