Bread would be worse because I’m less likely to want to eat just bread. It’s also minimal because why care about bread? I might eat it simply because I don’t want to get up to find a place to dispose of it. If there were extra cheese I’d just eat it

But I reject this scenario: a more realistic and relatable one would be crackers and cheese. It’s also philosophically more of a challenge since crackers are valuable bread

Leftover... cheese? I know what each of those words mean individually, but put them together like that and you've lost me.

Bread.

Leftover cheese is not tolerated in my house, and is dealt with quickly and mercilessly by whoever is feeling a bit peckish.

But there's not much one can do with a solo slice of bread outside of adding stuff to it.

I'd rather have cheese if I'm on a train and don't need carbs for fuel. If I was riding a bike, I might feel differently.

If there's a disparity in your bread/cheese supply, you could stretch it out by only eating one slice of bread at a time, folding it over a whole piece of cheese (also folded).

The premise is flawed. I would not only count them properly in the first place, but continue to keep tabs whilst I supped, and adjust ratios as necessary in order to avoid unpaired leftovers.

Leftover broad is worse. Leftover cheese is edible on its own.

We're in Germany. There's always more bread.

Cheese and a slice of sausage is a breakfast. Bread optional.

How can leftovers be annoying? They're food and you have them in case you get hungry.

Neither is a problem, leftover cheese will just get eaten as a snack if it's not enough to keep until I go to the shop next (I usually go every other day for something since it's a 2 min walk)

Leftover bread just becomes a piece of toast with some butter (I basically always have it in, and get the replacement before I totally run out). Tbh with a coffee that's just my normal breakfast some days anyway

When I'm at the deli, I tend to order by the slice so that I have exactly the right amount of everything for the sandwiches I plan to make.

Ultimately, I wouldn't blindly throw cheese and bread in a bag to bring along on a trip. I would only count out the exact amounts I need. However, if I made a mistake and there was an imbalance, it would not be an issue because I have no problem eating either bread or cheese on its own.

I am realizing right now that my daughter would consider all of that to be evidence of autism. Which I still deny because I have not been diagnosed as being on the spectrum. In my opinion, it's just rational sandwich planning.

I don't understand: leftover cheese? I always use exactly as much as I have at home.

Rarely happens, I freeze bread and consume cheese fast enough. But bread would be more annoying, I can make breadcrumbs but I don't use that too often (so that will have to go to the freezer too)

Hold on .. you could have made a grilled cheese and just ate both as is??
