Absolutely. Gotta work through the bad bits to make the reward all the sweeter.

And the bad bits? Still sandwich. We are truly blessed to live in the age of plentiful sandwiches.

What a pioneer

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Montagu,_4th_Earl_of_Sandwich

It is commonly said that Lord Sandwich, during long sessions of cribbage and other card games at public gambling houses, would order his valet to bring him roast beef between two pieces of toasted bread.[9] He was fond of this form of food because it allowed him to continue gambling while eating, without the need for a fork, and without getting his cards greasy from eating meat with his bare hands.

No, I'm not a Barbarian. It would cost nothing to cut that sandwich into four squares or triangles.

Triangles? Oh you're fancy

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh aye - I don't often do triangles for myself - I'm not worth it - but I do do them for other people, so they know they're special :)

Too wasteful for my taste

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

this approach to life is only wrong with small foods you have multiple of. nothing feels more pettily desperate than finally working your way down through a tin of biscuits to the perfect specimens... and then having someone appear out of nowhere asking "hey can i have one?" >:| yes, you can have one |:< enjoy the perfect bites >:|

This is only half done. You need to pick it up by the center now and finish the job for one last glorious bite.
