Fun fact, in Dutch and German (pretty sure? But with the German word of course) you call each piece of bread a “boterham” in a classical 2 bread sandwich. So if you say “I brought 2 boterhammen for lunch” everyone imagines 1 sandwich of 2 bread slices.
This becomes even funnier because people often cut their sandwiches corner to corner, creating 2 different 1/2boterham +1/2boterham sides that come together to make 1 boterham in the shape of a triangle with stuff between. So you can either count the original bread slices for the amount of “boterhammen” or count the triangular half sandwiches.
