    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

        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.

      I suppose it is neither a taco or a sand which, however it lives within the sandwich family. What’s weird is if we take the inner radius as it runs towards zero it would look no different to a sandwich (save the weirdly thick bread that looks similar to a burger), but it would be topologically different shape.

      I suppose it depends on if you consider a bagle split more naturally a sandwich or not, and, if so, then it matters if the if the space of the filling being connected matters or not.
