I have been pondering recently (in the absence of any more interesting thoughts this morning) of the meaning of the above, which has been triggered by a recent misunderstanding of the phrase. I always thought a round of sandwiches was one whole sandwich made with two slices of bread and then cut in halves or quarters. However recently a friend asked for a round of sandwiches but only expected a single half sandwhich and was somewhat surprised when I made and presented one sandwich cut in half, as per my understanding.
But then I have always thought that a round of toast is only one slice, so perhaps I have misunderstood this for many years in the context of sandwich making. And then again buying a round in the pub means, in my mind, buying a drink for everyone in the same group ( or possibly the same circle?).
And I assume 'round' refers to the traditional loaf shape rather than square cut bread that produces triangles when cut in halfs or quarters on a diagonal line, or squares if cut vertically and horizontally across the centre line.
I'd be interested to know what others understand by this phrase?
Shall we reboot our cartoons thread again? 😁
