Which of the following is a sandwich?

[Milhouse]

If you slice a hotdog in half and put it between bread, then it's a sandwich.

that's some kind of bastard. not a sandwich.

Exactly, and if subs are sandwiches (which they are), then a chix parm is a sammy. If a chicken parm is a sammy, then so is a a sausage parm. If sausage parm is a sammy, then so is a hot dog. Meal on bread = sammich.

So is a taco a sandwich? Is a pizza?

A tortilla isn't bread

 

[BarcaDeac]

What about a torta that has sliced hot dogs? I see that on the menu at the taqueria in my hood. A torta is def a sandwich.

i really love that this turned into a 3 page thread.

a patty melt is a sandwich, ground beef patty on a bun is not

keep up people

Please refer to Deachawk in all matters relating to sandwich definitions.

My 3 year old son likes hot dogs. We cook it, slice it up and put it on a plate. Q: What is that called? A: A HOT DOG. When put on a bun, it becomes a sandwich. Deal with it.

yes it is, it's just flat (note that I did vote that a wrap is a sandwich).

Veggies on bread is just a salad with someone too impatient to wait on croutons.

What do you think croutons are made from ?

Or is that your point ?

That's my point

Good point !

This is something that would be pondered on a Seinfeld episode, a la "Is soup a meal?" Just tedious, man.

whaaat - no way. tortillas are not bread, a quesadilla is not a sandwich.

this episode was just on. timely reference.

it all boils down to this: if a co-worker says they are headed out to pick up sandwiches for lunch, and they come back with a bunch of hot dogs, what is your reaction?

Look at this richman here, all uppity because he can afford hot dog buns. Some of us don't have the luxury of buying special purpose bread to stock our maple cabinets full of, us common men make do with what we have.

Great image of a boiled hot dog. While not bad, grilled is far superior to boiling.

btw I definitely do not think a quesadilla is a sandwich. I was playing devils advocate to the idea that a meal on bread = a sandwich. However, I do qualify a tortilla as a type of bread. They are in the bread aisle at the grocery store. Is my deli meat, cheese, lettuce wrap on a tortilla not a sandwich because it's not on bread? If not, then why are wraps under the sandwich category on menus? Is naan bread? is pita bread bread?

 

[DeaconWalker]

I know we said we weren't going to cover grilled cheese because that is universally accepted.

But I don't see anything in that list of options that would cover a pimento cheese sandwich because:
1. In my experience pimento cheese sandwiches are not usually grilled or toasted
2. The first category refers to sliced meat with cheese

What should we do to remedy this situation? Or what category does this classic get put into?

 

[Biff Tannen]

Pimento Cheese Sandwich is a sandwich. Disagree ? Take it up with the people at Augusta National in charge of sandwiches at The Masters.
