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.
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.
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.

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

It’s an infinity sandwich.
A mugenwich?
