The Enchanted Waltz

Things that annoy me beyond all reasonable measure, part 3,000,000 of an ongoing series: If you have a slice of bread, a piece of cheese and another slice of bread, what you have is a cheese sandwich, is it not? So if you are standing between, say, twins, you are not the filling in a twin sandwich. Rather, the twins are the bread of a you sandwich. That makes sense, doesn't it? And yet people persist in saying it the other way just to annoy me.

So tonight was sandwich night on MasterChef, which served up nothing but aggravation for me. One woman dished up what was described as a 'polenta sandwich', which you would think was polenta between two slices of bread, but, see above, was actually roasted tomatoes in between two slabs of polenta. Feel my rage, MasterChef! Rawr!

Anyway, the judge queried the use of polenta, saying, 'To me, a sandwich, you have to be able to pick it up and eat it with your hands'. So, open-topped sandwiches aren't sandwiches, then? Or are they? Because everyone else served up open-topped sandwiches that the judges ate with knives and forks, and they didn't say, 'Oh, this isn't a sandwich because I can't eat it with my hands'.

MasterChef makes me question everything I think I know. So existential.
