Continuing on my food theme, I figured I'd take some time to explain how bread is sold here. This description really just applies to white bread that I've seen. Basically, you have your choice of 4, 6, or 8 slices. Six and eight seem to be more common. The thing is, you always get the same amount of bread. They just slice it thinner or thicker depending. Coming from America, where if bread came in 4 slice loaves, you'd have to go buy bread every day, this system is weird to me. I thought of all this while eating some Skippy on white bread and watching the MLB home run derby on my computer.
I would bet though, that the 4 or 6 slice loaves would be great for french toast.
The other day at 7-11 I got a pre-made sandwich. It was something like ham with cucumber slices. It wasn't bad. It was on thin bread, but the weird part about it, was that I got 3 halves. There were 3 triangular wedges of sandwich in the package. I guess that just takes one more slice, but it was still a bit random.

Dude, I thought of french toast too! That would be so awesome. I've learned from the Euros here that the French do indeed eat french toast, but A) they don't call it that (duh) and B) it's better than the crap you get in the campus cafeteria. Surprise.
Were the sandwiches halves you bought equilateral triangles? Because I can't envision packaging them any other way, but I don't excel at sandwich augury.
Wait, I take that back, that's like the only thing I excel at.
The sandwiches were not equilateral. I'll assume that you meant isosceles, since you're the anthropologist and I'm the engineer. The bread had been cut on a diagonal as you would expect.
