Customer threw a fit because I wouldn’t sell her MY sandwich

I’m the only cashier so I’ve served every person in the dining room. Breakfast ended at 11 and these ladies started ordering at 11:05. The one lady huffs and puffs I won’t make an acceptation for her breakfast sandwich even though eggs are gone and egg oven is already disassembled. She ends up ordering lunch but is clearly upset. 11:30 rolls around and I finally have a chance to sit and eat my 3 hour old breakfast sandwich. So I take a seat in dining room and dig in. This same lady is sitting 2 tables across from me now and said “I thought said you don’t have any breakfast sandwiches?” And my mouth is full so I just smiling, still in polite customer service mode, then I just think she just must be joking so I don’t bother to reply. But then she adds “I’ll remember you the next time I want to order something. Clearly you must have an issue with me”.
I’m baffled that she doesn’t just realize I have not had a chance to eat my own breakfast and that this sandwich is old. If she’s that vigilant then she should know I’ve been tied to the register with customers since she got in at around 10:45 (yes in time to order her breakfast!) I roughly explain I just haven’t had time to eat it for the past 3 hours and I made it around 8:30am to WHICH SHE REPLIES “so you couldn’t just sell me that one?”
No ma’am, I’m sure that’s against so many health codes, plus I’ve made this without gloves and it’s customized because it’s MINE.
I wish I said that but a part of me still thought she was joking so I said “you wanted my cold, old sandwich?” And laughed and she just grabbed her purse and left! I’m still baffled with my interaction with an entitled Karen in the wild and just had to share that somewhere!
