A chef in the U.K. recently came up with an edible form of social distancing in the form of a 6.5-foot sandwich.

According to British news agency South West News Service, the sandwich comes loaded with bacon and sausage on a long bun, and is dubbed the “Back to Work Baguette.” It costs $24, but reportedly feeds two people — ideally two people who are sharing a lunch, but cannot sit close to each other. Photos show the sandwich being eaten at each end while the diners maintain proper distance.

Though the idea is delicious, it would seem a bit tricky to maintain the recommended social distancing while sharing the sandwich — especially when you get to the middle. Probably better to try this one at home.
