Bread. Leftover cheese is not tolerated, and is dealt with quickly and mercilessly by whoever is feeling a bit peckish.

But there’s not much one can do with a solo slice of bread outside of adding stuff to it.

Toast.
I don’t eat dry toast with nothing on it
Then you have the additional challenge of matching the amount of bread to the amount of spreadable butter or peanut butter
Why can’t somebody just enjoy toast
Dry? Plain? Flavorless? Even if you start with good bread with flavor, toasting it takes that flavor away
Sorry about your taste buds. The maillard reaction absolutely does impart new flavors in addition to those already present.
Bread. Cheese never makes it

We’re in Germany. There’s always more bread.

Cheese and a slice of sausage is a breakfast. Bread optional.

Yeah who needs those carbs anyway. Protein is where it’s at.
Im perfectly fine with both :3 I’ll eat the leftovers either way ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Leftover bread is worse because im eating whatever left and cheese is nicer than bread.

Unless its awful cheese or super premium bread.

Maybe I do just buy nice bread, because I’d happily eat slices of it plain. Unless it’s square bread, but im kinda assuming by the thumbnail picture we’re talking proper bread
Dark rye bread, round, pre sliced.
I can definitely devour some dark rye bread :3. Or alternatively take it home and make fried bread snacks. Either way bread is not any more of a problem than cheese to me

Neither is a problem, leftover cheese will just get eaten as a snack if it’s not enough to keep until I go to the shop next (I usually go every other day for something since it’s a 2 min walk)

Leftover bread just becomes a piece of toast with some butter (I basically always have it in, and get the replacement before I totally run out). Tbh with a coffee that’s just my normal breakfast some days anyway

You always have a toaster and butter on the train?
No need, if you have a normal kitchen at the destination.
I’ve gotta be honest I somehow missed the entire context added to the body, but OP gave a good answer anyway
I screwed up the original post. It went to a nearly dead community, and I tried to fix that by cross posting it here, but I screwed up that as well. Initially, it was just a title and a picture, with no extra details. As soon as I realized that, I quickly copied the original body here as well. However, many people had already replied by then. Oh well…
I don’t understand: leftover cheese? I always use exactly as much as I have at home.
What happens when you run out of bread, but you still have some cheese? Do you just eat all of it without adding anything to it?
The last slice of bread gets a special treat. A layer of cheese thicker than the bread itself!
LOL. Yeah that should work too.
Hold on … you could have made a grilled cheese and just ate both as is??
Do you bring a griddle with you on the train?
The premise is flawed. I would not only count them properly in the first place, but continue to keep tabs whilst I supped, and adjust ratios as necessary in order to avoid unpaired leftovers.
That is a valid approach too.
Having not scanned your history, are you German? That sounds like something a German would say.
No, but I’ve been mistaken for one before. Und Ich speech ein bißchen Deutsch.
I wouldn’t pre-count, but I cannot conceive of a world where I wouldn’t be adjusting the ratios for the last few slices once the discrepancy was obvious.
This is acceptable. It also indicates that you make a solid guess at the beginning.
Both are the same for me. YEET
Leftover… cheese? I know what each of those words mean individually, but put them together like that and you’ve lost me.
Ok, so am I just supposed to eat the cheese without anything else?
Far preferable to plain bread without cheese.
Do I look like a bird to you?
This is such a French coded question
You guys get bread and cheese?
How can leftovers be annoying? They’re food and you have them in case you get hungry.
Together, they’re awesome, but one missing is a bit disappointing. There’s clearly a synergy between these ingredients, like peanut paired with chocolate. Each flavour is individually just fine, but together they create something far superior. Being forced to settle for fine is just disappointing when the memory of something far nicer is still fresh in your memory.
As i am blessed with really great bread here in Austria, the only thing more annoying about bread is the extra weight/bulk compared to cheese.
Leftover broad is worse. Leftover cheese is edible on its own.
100% this; cheese on its own is always a wonderful snack.
I knew someone would figure it out. Top tier detective skill!

Yeah.

I sure love to eat rye bread.

My wife no so much Of me Eating it Before bedtime

Well, no one got raped and murdered to produce the bread.
Not only that, it’s also asbestos free!
Rarely happens, I freeze bread and consume cheese fast enough. But bread would be more annoying, I can make breadcrumbs but I don’t use that too often (so that will have to go to the freezer too)

When I’m at the deli, I tend to order by the slice so that I have exactly the right amount of everything for the sandwiches I plan to make.

Ultimately, I wouldn’t blindly throw cheese and bread in a bag to bring along on a trip. I would only count out the exact amounts I need. However, if I made a mistake and there was an imbalance, it would not be an issue because I have no problem eating either bread or cheese on its own.

I am realizing right now that my daughter would consider all of that to be evidence of autism. Which I still deny because I have not been diagnosed as being on the spectrum. In my opinion, it’s just rational sandwich planning.

Ha ha, my wife accused me of that as well, because of this exact scenario.

…. But eating sandwiches is very predictable: why wouldn’t you order exactly the slices you need for a week?

I’d rather have cheese if I’m on a train and don’t need carbs for fuel. If I was riding a bike, I might feel differently.

If there’s a disparity in your bread/cheese supply, you could stretch it out by only eating one slice of bread at a time, folding it over a whole piece of cheese (also folded).

If I keep track of the quantities, I could definitely make the numbers match in the end. That’s probably a better approach than my “just wing it” style.
Eh, you can eyeball it towards the end: Nothing wrong with improvising if you ask me.
It seems improbable that you would get down to just a few pieces of bread and cheese and not notice the disparity unless you have some magic sack containing bread and cheese without the ability to see inside like some monkey’s paw wish.
