If a slice of bread with a topping can be considered an open-faced sandwich, then avocado toast is just an open-faced sandwich, yes?
By that logic, any topping on toast is an open-faced sandwich, including butter. Therefore, a piece of toast with butter on it is, in fact, a sandwich.
I seen some mathematically-trained types trying to rigorously describe the topology of the sandwich, shit got out there. Possibly a plate of spaghetti with meat sauce was made of many sandwiches.
Like all people who are not idiots, I am a structural purist but am liberal when it comes to ingredients. It seems to me that the noun and verb "sandwich" clearly indicates two more or less discrete elements with a further element of differing composition in the centre. Ingredients are irrelevant to the definition of a sandwich which is strictly structural.
something is totally wrong with the British and their sense of ““cuisine,”” but beans aren’t even that weird an ingredient. savory spreads are classic pairing for grains
I am of two minds on this. I feel that a sub sandwich and a icecream sandwich are both valid. However I feel that a hotdog or a icecream taco are not valid sandwiches.
I can be structurally or ingredient neutral, but not at the same time. A sub not cut all the way through is a sandwich. A chip butty is a sandwich. A hotdog is not a sandwich.
Actually think has been decided in a court of law. I remember in my 1L contracts class that we talked about a suit involving a contract clause in a shopping center that allowed exclusive rights to one sandwich shop. It was challenged, if I remember, by a burrito joint moving in.
This brought up way too many questions for me. I think I’m a flexible neutralist. So long as you move towards purest is one direction, you can move to rebel I the other.
A "chip butty" and here I am, who thought that us Turks are the only ones weird enough to have a french fries sandwich. We normally use a bread that is more like a sub bread and normally drown them in ketchup and mayonnaise though.
it always irked me how they went with “chip butty” for their lawful neutral example. use something that exists in the real world, there’s gotta be a better example.
but still, at least it supports my hot dog theory. no one argues with subs.

Taking two pieces of pizza and setting them one on top of the other is the best. You can also mix pizza styles to find sweet combos.

1 clock_watcher 2018-08-05
There is no way the Earl of Sandwich would have eaten foreign filth like tacos or burritos, so that rule out most of that grid.
All you need is two slices of bread and something as the filling. Top centre, obvs, like any sane person.

so subs aren’t sandwiches then eh?
1 AlveolarPressure 2018-08-05
Next time my mom tells me that I cant survive on poptarts alone, I can prove that they are in fact sandwiches
1 sweetyellowknees 2018-08-05
You cant live on sandwiches alone either so
1 zergling_Lester 2018-08-05
I'm pretty sure you can and that in fact would be a healthier diet (assuming BLT) than most Americans have ever had.
1 sweetyellowknees 2018-08-05
What do you mean? Potatoes are hella healthy.
1 zergling_Lester 2018-08-05
Taters are pretty much nothing but carbs, and an average person could do with less carbs in their diet.
1 sweetyellowknees 2018-08-05
You can survive on potatoes alone for 6 months. They include so much we need, that is why they are a staple food in so many societies

In the UK they eat "sandwiches" made of french fries, "sandwiches" with just bacon, "sandwiches" with beans...they are extremely ingredient neutral.
Basically anything between two slices of bread is a sandwich. They actually call loaves of bread "bread sandwiches" over there.
It's not the weirdest thing they do.

Beans and toast is probably the most disgusting dish I can think of. Something is wrong with the British tbh.

1 putting_stuff_off 2018-08-05
I don't really know, but I feel the same way for some reason.
1 zergling_Lester 2018-08-05
I guess it's because hot dogs form an established category of their own?

1 grungebot5000 2018-08-05
definitely not the taco
i switched sides in the hotdog war though. it really is just a rounded sub, when you get down to it.

1 ArlenBilldozer 2018-08-05
If you call a hot dog in a bun as sandwich IRL, go fuck yourself.
1 Lazerkilt 2018-08-05
Okay but wait, hear me out...
Roll it on its side.
It’s a sausage sandwich now. Bread on top and bottom, hot dog in the middle.
What if you changed the insides? Put BLT stuff in it? Now it’s a sandwich with weird outsides.
Change the outside, sourdough bread, now it’s a sandwich with weird insides.
So, which part makes it not a sandwich?
Is it the bun? There’s a few sandwiches that use more or less the same bun. Is it the hot dog? Sausage sandwiches are absolutely a valid thing.
But no, no amount of examples will convince you, will they?
It’s the two together, isn’t it?
That’s what you can’t abide.
This is your line in the sand.
The line you don’t cross.
You’ve found it.
Congratulations.
I hope one day we may all have that same clarity in all aspects of our lives.
