Project triangle into 2D space a this is your visualization.

2-sphere, I believe you mean to say.

It wasn't just an omelette on top of a waffle (and both of them the size of a medium pizza). As you strayed from the edges toward the center it became difficult to see where the waffle ended and the omelette began. Such a…

This is fantastic, I'm dying to eat a Womelette.
