Dilemma of toppings

Today, while making sandwiches I found out there wasn't enough toppings for all of them. There was just enough cheese and sausage for one slice of bread!

I was hungry enough I knew I needed two slices. Of course I could have made one with cheese and the other with sausage like I often do on this kind of situations. But there is the certain hope of finishing with the best combination of fillings.

This isn't usually a problem if I take four slices of bread. Two with one filling and two with other. This way I can taste both and then make the decision what to leave last based on empirical evidence. But with just two slices there was no such option available to me.

But the situation wasn't as hopeless as it at first sight seemed to be. Instead of putting all the one kind of toppings to a single slice of bread I made two half and half sandwiches where I could use the first one to taste both combinations and then just decide from which end I would start eating the second slice.
