So if a sandwich cut in half is two sandwiches.
Is a pie that’s cut in half, two pies ?
no, this is just for sandwiches. the english language has many strange anomolies, this is just one of them 🙂
forget about the logistics of cutting them for now….. if someone hands you a big wodge of bread that is a slice on top, a filling, then a slice on the bottom he would say “heres a sandwich for you mate”.
if you were at a wedding and he brought you a plate with 2 vol au vents and one of those dinky little sarnies cut into quarters, he would say “ive brought you 2 vol au vents and a sandwich mate”.
see? it works 😀
