The Final and Definitive Sandwich Thread

[Timsup2nothin]

Well, you best get busy and stand up then.

I can honestly say that I don't think that anyone else has been as active at supporting their votes as I have, and the vote that I could not support I changed.

I changed mine to properly reflect hot dog as a sandwich and remove calzone since it doesn't have distinct sides and is a pastry pocket.

Dude, what happened to this guy:

it wasn't a defeatist "it's all semantics anyway", it was a *smokes pipe* *exhales* *gives you a deep glance* it's all semantics, anyway *screen fades to black* kind of thing. I'm a very expressive person, getting my point across via text usually fails

Gotcha!

I'm eating Oreos. Guess what word is prominently featured on the package.

I still believe that "cookie" or "ice cream" is the overriding feature and that "sandwich" is in both cases the type, but felt that in fairness I had to report that.

Well, we haven't made much use of it, but Adijica's chart on post 50 does provide terms for analyzing some of these things. Oreos are structurally a sandwich.

Still, I think what it reads is "sandwich cookie"; that's identifying the thing as a cookie, and its form as sandwich-like.

"In the style of a sandwich." But of course, that's a sign precisely that it's not a sandwich. Because no actual sandwich would use "sandwich" as an adjective.

(Though at Cracker Barrel, you can order Chicken-Fried Chicken--that is Chicken prepared in the fashion that Chicken-Fried-Steak is prepared, which is by frying it like fried chicken. But that's another matter entirely.)

A sandwich, being food, is an inclusive rather than exclusive format.

I'm surprised that you would bring that up since a quesadilla clearly lands in the upper left corner satisfying both the structural and ingredient purists.

BTW, note that the votes acknowledging that a quesadilla just plainly is a sandwich are mounting up.

The number of people who believe something is not a measure of its truth, I've been told.

In fact, it has been presented (on the analogy of something about the shape of the earth) as more likely an index of inaccuracy.

The invalidity of your claim that a quesadilla is a sandwich has, by that line of reasoning, doubled in the last 24 hours.

Credit where credit is due, you are tireless.

 

[Gori the Grey]

Why, I can be positively indefatigable, so long as it concerns something utterly trivial.

You need fuel to keep your strength up. You want a sandwich?

A quesadilla is not a sandwich. Your attempt to destroy Mexican culture by assimilating into Anglosphere is worthy of a call for Pancho Villa to ride once more to defend the heritage of our Mexican friends.

Nah, thanks. You know what I am hungry for, though, for some reason: a quesadilla.

That's exactly the kind of sandwich I had in mind! What a coincidence!

Ernesto Zapata was a sandwich universalist. Do not listen to this culinary-essentialist slander, he is paid by Big Toast (tm) and runs multiple corn plantations in Guatemala which he protects from the public eye via his own right-wing deathsquad crop militia. My sources at the CIA tell me Birdjaguar is in direct contact with the descendants of the chicago boys, planning to slash down sandwich revolutions all over latin america.

Absolutely not, he would've fought to the death for the right of the peasants of Moreles to call their food by its traditional names (which wouldn't be sandwich), but so long as you left Moreles alone he wouldn't care what the rest of Mexico (never mind the world) called it.

 

[AmazonQueen]

If I go in a sandwich shop there is a list of sandwich fillings and a separate list for filled rolls.
If someone says "Sandwich OK for lunch?" I don't expect to get Oreos or an ice cream sandwich.

A sandwich consists of slices of bread from a loaf and a filling, everything else is just sandwich-like.

Unpopular opinion: a meat pie is a sandwich.

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