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

    Although the bagel half on the bottom and the top are split toroids, topologically they are flat (you can 'deform' it into a flat plane if you squish it). This is assuming it hasn't been cut down the center as well.

    The filling of PB&J is between the two starches. Therefore this is Food Type 2: Sandwich.

    Okay but, what about down the centre as well? I think this is where the paved road ends

    It is still a Type II sandwich, just that the middle portion is air.

    In crappy text form it's equivalent to:

    Bread

    PB&J | Air | PB&J

    Bread

    Okay so I think I'm failing miserably at articulating quite the monstrosity I've imagined. For illustrative purposes:

    Ah I see. This looks a bit different than OP's image. This requires further research in food cube science.

    I do believe this configuration that you listed could be a new sub-Type of food topology. It combines four starches with filling in between, as two Type II sandwiches orthogonally configured.

    Since you can theoretically make modifications like this to the other Types, it might be easier to make these new configurations subtypes of the main categories instead of making a Type VII (we should reserve these for 4D foods).

    This particular case is a biaxial Type IIa sandwich.
