I think an important key factor is that a sandwich must be able to be handheld. A calzone is basically a sandwich, but lasanga is not a sandwich, even though it is food contained in another food. Hot Pockets are marketed as a warm sandwich. Nigiri rolls can be eaten by hand but are also more often eaten with chopsticks, keeping them from sandwich status. A deep dish pizza is further from being a sandwich but I think it could be argued that flat pizza or regular pizza is a style of open faced sandwich. I would also put quesadilla and hotdog in sandwich territory.

I think just in general if you have to sit down to eat something it's probably not a sandwich. If at least one food item is contained within a different non-liquid food item and can be eaten while standing or walking without you needing to wash your hands afterwards, then I believe that food item can qualify as a sandwich.

Idk where that puts me on the chart.

If a specified god can eat clothing as well as uncooked and still-living human meat then I think you would qualify as a sandwich for that particular god, assuming that the god in question is large enough (or just strong enough) for you to be considered a portable food item to them.

bringing non-human entities expands the definition I think. humans (probably) invented the concept of "sandwich", if I saw a monkey drop a smooshed banana in a pile of leaves and he went to pick it up and noticed there were two leaves stuck to it on either side and ate it anyways, I'd consider that to be a sandwich almost without contest.

I mean, Cronus ate essentially an entire pantheon of gods which then went on to overpower him, and the Judeo-Christian God more or less encompasses all creation. I think there's a firm baseline for deities who could feasibly consume a living person, textiles and all.

The cosmos is God's sandwich.

A wise skeptic would present a riddle of the universe wherein God has prepared His sandwich and set down to eat it in all its glory. Every star, every solar system, every living and non-living thing, every last speck of dust, all is crafted into this immaculate hoagie. But just as He is set to take His first bite, He puts some mayonnaise on it.

I don't think it does [mention]Quin[/mention] because their first rule is:

To qualify as “a sandwich,” a given food product must, structurally, consist of two (2) exterior pieces that are either separate or mostly separate;

Isn't your roll attached?

'mostly separate' would be inclusive of rolls. They consider burgers a sandwich, so.

I actually recently read an article that said a sandwich - not ice cream sandwich or any other non-conventional sandwich - must have two pieces of bread so I rest my case.

Did you fold the tortilla?

If not, then it was not a sandwich, because there was not something ensconced within something.

However, if you did not fold it, it was a pizza. And a salad. (all pizzas are salads, but not all salads are pizzas.)

I am very disappointed in this thread.

I was expecting to see respectable sandwiches, dressed in suits and ties and stunning pant suits, standing behind podiums debating current events, political matters, hot topics, or at the very least pop culture. :suspish:

Hahahaha, Indi this thread began because of an all out war we had in discord about what constitutes a sandwich. I've never laughed so hard!
