0) vegetable, animal and vegetable, sometimes with vegetable. White bread/bacon/white bread and optional tomato ketchup
1) Is it alive sooner or later - No but variously it was. Both the wheat and the pig were alive
2) Is it delicious? - Yes Who can argue against a bacon butty?
3) Will it fit in a breadbox? - Yes Of course
4) Has it ever been used in the British Royal household to celebrate the marriage of Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine and Prince Louis of Battenberg? - Not being privvy to the private lives of the British Royal household, and the tabloids have not yet published any transcripts of either of their telephone conversations it is impossible for me to say, but I would doubt it. I would hope, that both the Princess herself and Ella would have come across examples while staying with their grannie. Louie would certainly have partaken while in the Royal Navy. Sailors and bacon butties? I think so.
not numbered) Ought the Navy to have marked it with an S for savoury? - No. It should be marked "SS" for "Senior Service" and nothing to do with any other organisation which could lay claim to those initials, nor ancestry of the family. Not a Navy exclusive
5) Is it Old Shag chewing tobacco - No, but a good guess.
6) Vegie and navy! Does it contain, or is it in any way connected to, rum? - Sadly, No. Rum is a fine accompaniament to a bacon butty, but not essential.
7) Do you own one? No, not at the time of writing, but I did and will do again. Sorry, as soon as I get one, I eat it, so the chances of posting while I still own one is slight.
8) It might be a pie - Why didn't I think of that? - No. Sadly, pies are off my personal menu, but bacon, which should be, has an exemption (I don't tell the doctor.)
9) Is it the case that no matter how its components are arranged in space, there exists a plane that will slice each component precisely in half (by volume), as in the Ham Sandwich Theorem? -Yes (it was in fact a bacon sandwich, but close enough! (the extra veg was of course tomato ketchup.)
