Looking at a CD spindle, it occurred to me that it would make a great template for sandwiches.
A round loaf tin around 5&1/4in diameter with a spike up the middle would speed cooking times for bread (cost-saving benefit there) and yield a slice not dissimilar to a cut bagel (yes, I acknowledge their
existence, Peter. Bear with me.)
With cream cheese rings, bread rings, tomatoes, round cheeses, salami, onions, lettuce leaves and what else you might wish for on a sandwich available in roughly round shapes you could make a killer sandwich on a CD spindle.
I'm off to the kitchen...

u mean... kinda like a shish-kabab?? |
|
| |
Almost. But with a shish-kebab everything is speared. This idea is for bread with a 5/8in hole through the middle, so you just thread it onto the spindle. |
|
| |
Or get a sandwich holepunch. |
|
| |
That way, a robot could easily assemble your sandwich. Now www.makemeasandwich.com could be practical! |
|
| |
I can almost picture the late night infommercials hawking the "Bubba Sandwich Spike" sandwich system. "Build two, three, four or more sandwiches stacked up on one spike and LOOK how EASY it is to SERVE THEM ALL TO THE TABLE AT ONCE! Your guests will be AMAZED!" |
|
| |
I have a cousin who makes award-winning bread using a bread machine. They come out round. So I'm sure you could make or adapt a bread machine to make tubular bread. *However*, why not just punch holes out of regular slices of bread using a cookie cutter? |
|
| |
Also, it seems to me you are missing an important element - how are you going to slice the sandwich with the spindle in the way? So you need a slot down the spindle to accommodate the knife. |
|
| |
And are you really sure you want to recycle bread? |
|
| |
And of course it's open to misuse by the sleazier elements. |
|
| |
Dammit Doc you whipped away my lead-up. Could you possibly re-enter that 'My problem with food with a hole' phrase? |
|
| |
quite easily baked then. ho ho. |
|
| |
Recycling the Cd spindle DC. Sheesh! |
|
| |
degroof: didn't I just say that? |
|
| |
A slicing mechanism could be created out of a stationary blade that you 'roll' the spindle of bread over. |
|
| |
Then you only need lift off the slices not required and begin stacking the sandwich fillings back on. |
|
| |
Bristolz's idea for late night infomercials is being implemented as we speak. |
|
| |
<Princess Bride> Now, if only we had a Holy Man.</PB> |
|
| |
Couldn't you just sort of pour in the honey, peanut butter, whatever into the slices' annular opening and then force down the spindle, causing the sandwiches to make themselves? Reminds me of Frank Zappa's "Bobby Brown". |
|
| |
I'm not sure how that would work with Double-smoked Leg Ham, Cos Lettuce, Tomato and Havarti Cheese. The wholegrain mustard should be no problem though. |
|
| |
Archimedes Sandwich? Heh. |
|
| |
Sounds better than the Mobius sandwich - the filling
keeps falling out. |
|
| |
Or does it keep falling in? |
|
| |
shirley the filling on a Mobius sandwich would cover "both" sides of the bread effectively meaning that it wouldn't "fall" at all. Eating it may be an entirely different matter - especially for jam sandwiches. |
|
| |
Mobius sandwiches would be very bad for those on a diet. You'd never get to the end of it. |
|
| |
The slicing could be accomplished by edged tines that unfurl from the center spindle. If these tines also had a heating mechanism the device could create toast untouched by human hands. Use the previously mentioned topping injection system to create french toast or to add jellies. |
|
| |
If a buttered slice of Moebius bread fell on the floor... |
|
| |
... the universe would collapse in a mighty roar. |
|
| |
Thus sayeth halfbakery lore. |
|
| |
that four line verse should be considered for tagline-deity.. |
|
| |
The problem is that things with holes leak. A PB&J on one of these pieces of bread would spoo all over you when you bit it, as would any other sort of sandwich with liquidish ingredients. |
|
| |
X*NEWSFLASH*X
Bagels banned, because they have a hole in the middle. 32 deaths attributed to leaking sandwich fillings... footage at 11:00... |
|
| |
If you cut the slices thicker, you could inject runny fillings directly into the soft bread between the crusts. |
|
| |
// Note that people rarely put runny fillings on a bagel. // |
|
| |
Right. They don't because they... |
|
| |
// spoo all over you when you bit[e] it. // |
|
| |
8th, why would you want to do that? |
|
| |
Somewhat off-topic, I note that B B King's restaurant in LA sells peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, battered and deep-fried, served with ice cream and a dusting of icing sugar. (The report I saw suggested that the icing sugar is to give an outline of the corpse for forensic purposes.) |
|
| |
Isn't that waht killed Elvis ? Deep fried sandwiches of some sort ? |
|
| |
There is a fish and chip shop near me where you can buy deep fried Mars Bars. They are acutally rather yummy (if the oil is not too fishy). |
|
| |
But then I live in Scotland, the world center for inappropriately deep fried food. Pizza in batter is a favourite, especially after 5 pints. There is a man comes round once a week to clean our arteries out with a wire brush. |
|
| |
Launch a class action. That pizza thing sounds truly horrible. |
|
| |
8th: Elvis' favorite sandwich was grilled peanut butter and banana on white bread. |
|

I hope B.B. never eats at his own restaurant, as he is diabetic. |
