SCIENCE OF THE SANDWICH


6 comments:

  1. Seems odd that bread should have such a strong inverse realtionship to Moorishness.

    By this equation (assuming no constraints, and that the variables measure mass or something similar) the best sandwich that could be made would have no bread, a big lump of butter, and a big lump of bacon.


    Now maybe that's to some peoples taste but I reckon you'd be better of with a bit more bread and maybe some tomato Ketchup.

    Maybe something like:

    m ~ 3b1 + b2 + 2b3 + k

    where
    k = ketchup
    and ~ denotes directly proportional to

  2. Spoke like a true statistical researcher for some knowledge support whatsit.

    Liptrots general Law applies:

    x=2f/b

    where:-

    x = sandwich excellence
    f = filling
    b = bread quotient

  3. Also rather strange that bread should have any relationship to Moorishness, which I presume is similarity to Othello... I presume that should read Moreishness.

  4. AFter some more thought (I don't have a job at themoment,and am under-stimulated)

    a better model would be:

    m = 1 / (3 - (3b1/b2 + b1/b3 + 2b2/b3))

    An even better one would be:

    1:take two slices of bread and tow slices of bacon

    2: cook bacon

    3: butter bread

    4: place bacon in bread

    5: eat

    6: stop wasting time on the internet

  5. My dear Tom

    How on earth can you consider such matters a waste?

    They are the very future.

    The future is bright.
    The future is digital.
    And the future has bacon fat, hot butter and ketchup dribbling down its cchin.

    Mm. You are right.

    Unless you include harissa as a bacon butty ingredient.

    Exotic.
    Nice, maybe.
    Eccentric, certainly.
