Sandwich or sandwiches

I guess sandwiches is the plural form of sandwich


However, how could sandwiches be counted when abstract things like water, and even rice are not countable. I once thought rice is countable because I can count the number of grains


OK, then can I say A sandwich or two sandwiches?


or should I say A piece of sandwich, two pieces of sandwiches?
