The Final and Definitive Sandwich Thread

[Timsup2nothin]

92% of posters disagree with you.
And 100% of posters who have first posted in this thread since our argument began agree with me.

You have been beaten. I will leave aside your philistinism regarding limerick quality, as I don't like to kick a man when he's down.

The mob agreeing with you doesn't make you right.

 

[Gori the Grey]

No, but more people agreeing with my position after we started debating than after makes me persuasive.

I assert that no one came into this thread thinking a quesadilla was a sandwich and changed their mind over your somewhat lame argument that since a knife is involved in the preparation it isn't. I may not have opened a lot of already closed minds, but I refuse to even think that you closed any with that.

It's just math. You can't argue with numbers, man.

It is the "wisdom of crowds" and clear in its results.

The "numbers" said the earth was flat until they learned better.

the question of the oreo is again whether the top and bottom part can be considered bread. I like sugary bread, no problem, but a cookie is not a slice of bread. therefore the oreo is only insofar a sandwich as the sexual position or the pincer attack is a sandwich.

question: if you take a tortilla, then put cheese on, then take another tortilla and put it on top, then heat it up - is it a sandwich or not?

You'll like him.

No; it's a tortilla with cheese, any Mexican will tell you that. And, they invented the tortilla.

reality is no more heliocentric than it is geocentric

That guy was right. He also didn't say anything about the earth being flat. What's your point?

a tortilla is a type of flatbread, and flatbread is bread, no?

Vote.

Flatbread is a very generic term for over 100 different flour based foods. Just because tortillas are members of the flatbread family, doesn't make them a sandwich base. Gingerbread stuffed with cheese is also not a sandwich. Tortillas are the base for lots of Mexican foods none of which are sandwiches.

What disqualifies them from being sandwiches? I already pointed out that my sister's old bf used taco and sandwich interchangeably depending on who he was talking to and their preferred language. Talking to me he called a folded tortilla filled with meat and cheese a sandwich, talking to his mother he called a tuna on white a taco. As far as he was concerned taco and sandwich were the same word, just in different languages.

This post reeks of sandwich eurocentrist-exclusivism, I will start a twitter-zoomio campaign to shed light onto this!!

So tortillas are flatbreads, you concede that much, and flatbreads are obviously a type of bread, but they don't qualify as sandwich base because...? Some arbitrary reason?

Are they not whuite enough to be a sandwich base? Is it their corn DNA? surely a Pita, another type of flatbread, is a sandwich base?

Gingerbread is, contrary to its name, not actually bread. Gingerbread has more sugar/egg/butter/milk in it than it does flour (at least the recipes on the internet claim that), so it is definitely a type of cookie, or a type of cake, not bread. Bread is, by definition, mostly flour and water. That's not to say that bread cannot contain butter or milk or oil or sugar, but the the main ingredient must be flower, not sugar.

That's a beautiful and sandwichingly woke post right there.

It makes you a friend of "argumentum ad populum", which if anything makes you less persuasive. Most people are wrong about all kinds of stuff, including me, so take this with a grain of salt. Most people might or might not agree with this post. Irrespective of that, my philosophical arguments around sandwiches speak for themselves, not through populist appeal!

It's not exclusionary to say that tacos aren't sadnwiches

tacos are better than sandwiches, there's no food racism here

however, a taco is literally identical in definition to the half-folded single piece of bread

like absolutely identical, just with a different bread type than what is otherwise imagined

And since a tortilla is in some part of the world just their version of bread, that makes a taco or quesadilla their version of a sandwich, and who are we to say that just because we speak English and think sliced bread is the greatest thing since...well...whatever came before sliced bread...that only our versions are "real" sandwiches? That's why I voted yes on quesadillas and tacos and urge you to do the same.
