How long does it take you to eat a sandwich?

Most times I don't like eating sandwiches because they are gone so quickly and then the meal is done. For instance, when I am eating a hamburger or hotdog, it takes only minutes from start to finish! For that reason, I'm more likely to eat a regular dinner, without sandwiches! After all, sandwiches are more appropriate for school lunches than family dinners. So, how about you? How long does it take you to finish a sandwich?

it depends on the sandwich,, if its small and easy to bite, then, it will only last less than a minute. LOL, but then, if its bic mac or club sandwich, then it would take several minutes.

After finishing work and going home everyday,it takes my wife a quarter to make a good dinner for us. At the time i customarily wash clothes of my daughter by hand,she is 3 years old and mischief very much.Sometimes she is a little girl,but sometimes i am sick of her acting.It takes us 20 minutes to eat supper,and then i wash dishware.

well it takes only a minute to finish a sandwich. But sandwich is just like a snack for me. I eat 2 or 3 sandwiches and still i m hungry.

I don't regard a sandwich, be it a hamburger, hotdog or whatever, as a meal, such as dinner. I will take it as a snack, for lunch, or in between meals. How long it takes me to eat one, depends, on what's inside. Some take longer to eat than others, but never more than twenty minutes or so. Brightest Blessings.

Oh I don’t agree- I love burgers- Big fat juicy burgers loaded with toppings- It takes me a while to eat these- and the toppings drip all over my plate- I love it- I’m not big on eating real sandwiches for dinner- Like grilled cheese, ham- that sort of thing- They are for lunches- and they take little time to eat-

Usually longer than eating a burger or taco LOL don't know why but it takes a while for me to eat a chicken sandwich.

I don't like to eat sandwich,too.I only eat it when I have no choice or I want to save time.I always eat it very quickly,and I think it takes two or three minutes.Certainly,it also depends on sandwich's size.

it only takes me less than a 30 seconds to finished especially if am starving or in the mood to eat one. but if i ate together with a companion then atleast ita takes me 2 minutes because of course it is bad to finish your meal at once while having conversation with others. also, they will think that i am a voracious eater. so due to social reason it takes me the usual 2 minutes to finish eat but if beyond social etiquette it only takes me less than 30 seconds. i cannot do anything about it.

I love to eat sandwiches especially if I am driving. I mean it's so hard to eat a full meal if I am on the road. A regular burger would take me around 10 minutes to eat while driving.

depending upon what type of sandwich I ate, ranging from an ordinary regular sandwich to a footlong, hotdog sandwich. I would normally take and have my sandwich for a minute to almost an hour. If I ate it slowly it would take almost an hour. Sandwiches are good for my health. but sandwiches are only for snacks.

All depends on my mood.. If I like what's on the sandwich, It's gone within seconds but If I'm not hungry or not in the mood to eat it can take a while... Hehe, sometimes I just don't feel like eating a sandwich..

It doesn't take me long to eat a sandwich, but usually that's the point when I make them. We rarely have them for dinner, unless we've had a long day and are just ready to eat real quick and relax. Usually my son and I have sandwiches for lunch a couple of times each week. I like having food that we can eat quickly, because a lot of times he is starting to get tired by the time I realize it's lunch time, especially if he got up late that day. Then I have to fix something quick that we can eat together before we watch Between the Lions, and he goes down for his nap.

Hello beautyqueen26, I am a slow eater. No matter what I eat, I am very slow in consuming my food. I love to take my food slowly and spend so much time sitting at the dinner table to finish up my food. Even if it is just a sandwich or burger, I still take my own sweet time to finish it up.

I think sandwiches are eaten very quick. Not only that, but they don't seem to keep me full very long. I will only eat them for lunch which is usually my smallest and quickest meal of the day. Occasionally we will have grilled cheese or hot dogs for dinner, but I always make a salad and veggies to go with, hoping that the fiber and protein will help fill us up.
