This appears to be a variation of the "standwich." Please see the attached for an example.

    It's clearly two sandwichs.

    The bold move would be to have the other side have the peanut butter and jelly swapped around. I'd call that the ouroboroswich.

    [edit] what if it only had 1 cut? I think that'd be a taco

    [edit 2] a torus cut once makes a cylinder. So really, it's a double decker sandwich

    [edit 3] but it's cylinders that loop back on themselves. Is it a mobiuswhich or a Klien Wich?

    [edit n] help

    I'm here for this energy

    Okay hear me out, what about the peanut butter on one axis (either conventional sandwich, or this rotated 90 degrees) and the jelly as it is here

    What are we dealing with then? This might transcend the cube system of food categorisation.

    Hey, pass me that sandwich.

    You mean this ba-oh my god.

    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.

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

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

    Top bun? Check

    Bottom bun? Check

    Yep, it's a sandwich. I'd like to see a video of you eating it now.

    Yes.

    A hot dog is also a 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!

    Yes but it’s not a very good one

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

    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.

    No, a sandwich is made from slices of bread.

    What about an Ice Cream Sandwich? No bread, but sandwich is in the name.

    Technical definition is a 3-Torus sandwich, defined as any sandwich that is homeomorphic to the Cartesian product of three circles.

    It's a bagel "standwich"

    I'd say yes but you definitely have to eat it in that direction.

    That, I believe, is what we refer to as an "abomination"

    If this photo was in black and white I’d briefly mistake it for a bad welding job.
