The Final and Definitive Sandwich Thread

A bun is not bread.

This is heretical. I wager you could not give me a definition of bread that does not include buns, but also somewhat makes sense.

@Perfection I need the footnotes from your article.

No footnotes, will see if there is endnotes if I can find my book. It's likely in my unsorted basement bins.

I have endorsed the "full enclosure is not a sandwich" position, so I cannot agree.

Is a tractor a car?

no, but it's a vehicle. a slice of bread is a car, a bun is a tractor and tortillas are airplanes. they're all different, but they're all vehicles, just like all breads are by definition cooked grain products

A sandwich, according to @yung.carl.jung

now this is something I can get behind

I'm about to make what some weirdos call an "Open face sandwich"

It's a regular sandwich. This is the benchmark for what a sandwich should be. If you want to put another slice of carbs on top of that, go ahead, that's cool, just don't tell me that I'm not about to eat a regular plain old sandwich

I remember these. They were an abomination against god and nature then, and they are an abomination against all that is sacred now. They should have been called "Unscrupulous" because that is what the people who made this atrocity up are. They should be hunted down like dogs, burned at the stake and then put on trial for their crimes posthumously.

I think it depends on whether you intend to eat it with a knife and fork or if you intend to scoop in up and fold it into the one slice of bread.

 

[warpus]

Who eats a sandwich with a knife and fork? Some sort of barbarian?

A sandwich has all you need to eat it with your hands, that's what the bread is for! It's the delivery vehicle for the other ingredients.

 

[Takhisis]

You, warpus, a footballing anglophile, should have expected me to post this the minute I saw that post.

 

[Perfection]

I voted for all the options because I'm hungry

 

[Takhisis]

I just want to warn people that I have fresh minced meat and round hamburger buns with sesame seeds on them. You lot had better not disqualify them. Their sandwichness is ensured and I shall fight any man on the Roll-to-Dodge arena for it.

 

[warpus]

Will you eat the minced meat raw? Whenever my mom used to make kotlety mielone in Poland, she'd make us sandwiches with the raw beef on them, mixed with the spices and onions and whatever else goes in those. SO GOOD

I think that was safe to eat because she minced the beef herself? I think that's we don't eat that here

 

[Takhisis]

Nah, my fellow quarantinees's stomach wouldn't be able to put up with raw meat. More's the pity.

Isn't that just a hamburger? or maybe a sloppy-joe if the meat is slathered in sweet sauce?

I think that's called "steak tartare" and its considered a delicacy... your Mom is a fancy lady.

 

[thecrazyscot]

This is clearly not fully enclosed. You can see the bite taken out of each uncrustable right there on the box, thus breaking the enclosure.

Does ‘just a hamburger’ mean that you are positing by implication that hamburgers are not sandwiches, counsellor?

Hamburgers are obviously sandwiches silly dilly.

 

[Takhisis]

Hey, I'm not a dilly.

Today I made pork sandwiches for the whole family!
