This is a question Family codes and rituals

Freddy Woo writes, "as a child we used to have a 'whoever cuts doesn't choose the slice' rule with cake. It worked brilliantly, but it's left me completely anal about dividing up food - my wife just takes the piss as I ritually compare all the slice sizes."

What codes and rituals does your family have?

How many sandwiches do you want?
In our house it got tedious asking how many sandwiches you wanted by defining a sandwich as two slices of bread with filling - is that one sandwich or, because it is always cut into two (oblongs not triangles - we're not southerners) does it make two sandwiches. And what if you cut it into four for the little 'uns?

So now we answer that question by stating simply the number of slices of bread that will go into making you chosen amount of sandwich goodness.

Yes, but...
There's already a technical term for it - no matter how you do the cutting, two slices of bread with filling between is known as a round.
