How tall can a sandwich get before it is an amusement park ride?

My technique is I just don’t eat such monstrosities.

A big hamburger though I’ll get it lined up and push it all down firmly until it stops at some incompressible point which can be described as a hamburger singularity. Anything that came out the sides is collateral damage which is then removed and discarded.

Well, for example, I eat chicken wings while wearing rubber gloves.

@ARE_you_kidding_me -I do practice Huge Sandwich Avoidance when I can but sometimes get surprised by the size.
I have tried a similar technique with the hamburger but am not very successful at keeping it off my clothes.Can’t take me anywhere XD

@ragingloli -Rubber gloves are an excellent idea!

I get where you are coming from big exploding sandwiches drive me crazy, and would say anything over 4 inches high is an amusement ride I think the staff like watching people trying to eat those things neatly.
One reason I will never oder ribs out.

I pick out the meat and eat the rest if I am still hungry.

I also use knife and fork to carefully strip the meat off of the bones when eating chicken legs.

@SQUEEKY2 -Me either.
Crab legs are always carry out or make at home because I channel Captain Caveman when I eat them.Not good

@RedDeerGuy1 -So you reject the bun??

I try to squish them down and whatever falls out is just eaten along with the sandwich.

@anniereborn -I’d need to wear the rubber gloves. Ha ha!
I cant stand food on my hands, yet I’ll play with clay all day. :P

@lucillelucillelucille I try to eat some of the bun. If it is too difficult to eat then I chuck it.

When It’s a rollertoaster!
That gag was brought to you by notfunnyjustbad.com

@RedDeerGuy1 -I understand that :)
@ucme-The link didn’t work :(

I will occasionally use a knife and fork.
Unless it’s a ham sandwich.

@josie -Then what do you do?

I open the sandwich, using the bun as an edible plate, eat with knife and fork.

@YARNLADY -Not a bad technique.

More than what can be held with two hands. Which would make it bigger than a Dagwood Derby.

@lucillelucillelucille

Then I don’t worry about getting messy

I made egg salad sandwich yesterday, three jumbo eggs with chopped onion and half a rib of celery finely chopped for two on toasted Deli Rye.
Knife and fork for sure.

My link did not work!?!
Strange…

@josie -XD

@ucme -Not for me.

@lucillelucillelucille Not for anyone.

I never knowingly order a sandwich taller than I can comfortably open my jaw, and if such an abomination arrives will take a knife and fork to it or reduce its vertical dimension through stripping it of offending layers.

For deli I take some of the meat out and bring it home for a half sandwich later. If it’s not a huge sandwich horizontally I sometimes ask for an extra piece of bread and eat a sandwich and a half, which might in the end be simply equal to a large sandwich, meaning the bread was large (but I don’t mean the bread was thick).

For a burger I usually cut it in half and squish down the bread. If it’s still very tall I do eat it with a fork and knife. I don’t generally order a lot of stuff on my burger. I would consider slicing the burger, the actual meat, in half horizontally too, but I’ve never done it. If the burger is just crazy big I take half home.

Burger, knife and fork.
Deli sandwich, take out some meat.

@raum That is too sensible!

Next time someone says I’m being insensible, I will use my sandwich eating methodology as an example to the contrary!

@raum -definitely! Throw it right in their face like a hamburger pie!!That’s all I’ve got
I have to draw the line at this

I was singing That’s Amore to the 4yo the other day as we were admiring the moon. But I face palmed her at your eye.

She was not amused.

@raum -Haha! that move is called a Dean Martin.

Totally sound more legit if there’s a name for it.

@raum -I agree!
