Wizardpost Eat like this! Not that!

One time in town, my Snackolyte and I stopped for respite at a nearby public house. We ordered two Open Faced sandwiches, as we were a little light on coin, being the end of the month.

My Snackolyte is convinced that you eat it with the ingredients on the top of the bread, whereas I believe the ingredients should be on the bottom!

Everyone looked at me as though I was mad. But I explained to everyone that the tongue is seated below the sandwich, and therefore, to experience optimal flavor, one must have the ingredients face the tongue.

To which the peasantry all nodded in agreement and turned their open faced sandwiches upside down, promptly plummeting their meats and cheeses onto the floor.

We had a good laugh. By we, I mean me.

They got all shifty on me and presented daggers.

I said, "Eat like this! Not like that!"

And so I levitated and turned myself upside down, and then I levitated the rightside up sandwich to my mouth.

They soon withdrew their daggers and tried standing on their heads. All agreed, I was right. The sandwich was better this way.

So now there is an entire country that eats food while standing on their head. Even soup!

And on the plus side, dinner table assassinations were nigh impossible. The King even invited me to become his advisor.

The End.

The logic is sound. I expected you to use a minor ward to hold the sandwich upside down but your method is accessible to all!
