What qualifies as a sandwich?

[nostalgicroxas]

going off of structural neutral, a crepe with ice cream is a sandwich and I have to disagree since the dough in a crepe is traditionally not soft. Not in the sense that a grilled cheese sandwich is a sandwich because the bread's been dried via heat of some kind to make it crispy. Most crepes with ice cream use a crepe dough that's been cooked until it's either A soft or B a hard shell not unlike the "waffle bowls" sold in stores. And a Bowl is not a sandwich candidate :o

I'd say ingredient neutral for sure.
Structure neutral too, but only for the sub type. (Not taco type. I don't consider tacos as sandwiches).
I grew up with sandwiches that were made of baguettes, and either fully open or not, depending on preferences or at random, (or because you tried to make it not fully open but the knife cut too much ) so I can't really consider that as a relevant feature of what makes a sandwich.

Also omg if a poptart is a sandwich so are: Calzone, Hot Pockets, and more O_O

THE HORROR

So long as you can squish two pieces of bread with ingredients between 2 or 3 sides of the food, it's a sandwich, personally.

If you hold a taco sideways, does that make it a sandwich....?

I think I fall under the Purist category, and I would like to add....I never knew something called a Chip Butty existed.

[nostalgicroxas]

No! Because it's crunchy super fried/baked dough! It's not soft! QAQ And a taco's shell breaks when you bite into it!

[Kiweevil]

What happens if you deep fry a sandwich? Is it no longer a sandwich?

[nostalgicroxas]

Carnival Eats TV show tells me it's still a sandwich because the dough is still soft at it's core. Like my grilled cheese example above.

Though to be fair, some labels for cookies consider Oreo-type cookies to be sandwiches TOO.

[Kiweevil]

Macarons must be sandwiches then. Soft inside, crispy outer layer, filling in between two pieces made of dough?

[IdiotWithPencil]

something between two slices of bread
there's even a bread sandwich

@claiborneart
I see myself as a true neutral

[nostalgicroxas]

Yes, if taking the oreo-type cookies as the same sort of definition.

They aren't HEALTHY sandwiches

[IdiotWithPencil]

beans and sour cream are a little unorthodox for "classic sandwich toppings"

how dare you say that, beans and sour cream are delicious with the bread I will have you know, even more so with some rice and lettuce mixed in >:V

[Kiweevil]

I'm anorexic. They're healthy for me

Now I kinda want a sandwich. Am I the only one?

[nostalgicroxas]

For the meme of it. What's your favorite type of sandwich, you guys? Oh, and let's keep it civilized btw

@IdiotWithPencil - Wait what. That's just like.... A taco not a sandwich! All you're missing is cheese to go with it.

[IdiotWithPencil]

I say good sir, if it's between two breads it's a sandwich to me, good day >:V

[nostalgicroxas]

I direct your attention to a chilli cheese hot dog, which according to that chart above, counts as a sandwich! gasps dramatically

[IdiotWithPencil]

eat more rice or pasta with meat sauce gives way more calories and energy than some Oreo, and their pack with more nutrients =) not just sugar

[IdiotWithPencil]

not gonna lie that look like a delicious sandwich =D
I would love to eat one but we are out of sausage ;^;

Edit: I usually eat mine with fried onions, some home mayo with soysause and ketchup, plus some sweet relish when I feel for it =P that's my sandwich

You're a saint thankyou
