AURex 1,995 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Where do you come down on the definition of a sandwich? Personally, I don't like sweets and don't eat sweets, so I'm biased. And I'm an old guy, so I've always thought of a sandwich as anything between slices of bread -- the bread being the requirement for defining something as a sandwich. But I don't eat a lot of bread these days. I like wraps and stuff in tortilla shells and such. So I guess my definition has evolved over the years. I'm now Ingredient Neutral, Structural Rebel. If it is inside breading of some sort, and you can pick it up and eat it, I consider it a sandwich. But as for sweet stuff, for me, No, an Oreo is not a sandwich. Ice cream between waffles is not a sandwich. Where do you come down on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUDub 11,147 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I'm structure neutral, ingredient purist. Only because a sub is obviously a sandwich. If not for that, hardliner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 The container has to be some kind of bread for me. Like these stupid fast food gimmicks where they put things between chicken patties or whatever are NOT sandwiches. The whole point of a sandwich, or burrito, or taco, or egg roll, or samosa, or a Hot Pocket or whatever is to use some sort of cooked dough to separate hand from meat, cheese, vegetables, condiments, etc. I vacillate on this question. Currently leaning towards a taxonomy where all of the above are species belonging to the same genus, but I'm not sure what you'd call the genus.

ArgoEagle 1,786 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Take a piece of sliced white bread, tear it in half, pile on a lot of deli style roast beef and smoked turkey breast, cover with American, Swiss, or Cheddar cheese. Put other half of bread on top and you have a sammich with mostly meat and half the bread. Yum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll certainly go with bread as a defining quality, but even if it doesn't qualify as finger food. I do think we need to exclude dumplings.

McLoofus 35,182 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Also, thoughts on savory vs sweet? PB&Js and monte cristo/croque monsieurs are definitely sandwiches, but I'm almost tempted to exclude ice cream sandwiches and choco tacos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the name, at least I got the Auld/Old part right... Humble apologies for apparent perseveration and continued burdens. Not sure if I'm using the right terminology (Luddite that I am). Wish to be sure I've got this new ID right before I go "back out in public" (Football Forum), because I suspect there're some there that may be interested in the ID-Theft process. When I get onsite here, what I'd call my "Avi pic"always shows up: When I log-out, and then log back in, however, what I'm calling my "Sig pic" (down at the bottom of the post) reveals itself as a boxed question mark. Are you seeing this one: or do I need to do something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
