There is 3 categories which every food can go: -Sandwiches : A meal which you stack ingredients (you can have a sandwich of bread for example with 2 slices) -Soups : Mostly liquid foods (can have a bit of solid food in it) -Salads : One or a bunch of food you put together, in piece or not (a fruit is a salad of on ingredient) Technically a hotdog is a sandwich, you can try with other foods, each of them can be in those categories.

You run out of the house to escape. You run and run but you find out the road is cake you still decide to run. everything is turning into into cake everybody is cake. You try to escape this world that is turning into a cake. You find somebody who has a house and has not turned into cake yet. You talk to him and ask “How are you not cake?” He answers with “I drank something.” You ask if you can live in his house and he agrees to it. After going in his house you wake up. You think it was all a dream. But you find out it wasn’t a dream you fell asleep inside the man’s house. The man says to you “You’re finally awake.” He gives you a drink that looks like a mix of purple and yellow. You ask what drink it is and he tells you “it will make it so you can’t turn into cake.” But it did the exact opposite. He’s the one who turned everything into cake. You are now a cake and you no longer actually exist.

I had an idea regarding the definition of a "sandwich" A sandwich is any food with a bread related base, regardless of filling and can be classified as several types and sub-types: True Sandwich: 2 slices of regular loaf bread with any filling. Sub-True Sandwich: 2 slices of other bread based material (bagel, tortillas, submarine, burger bun, etc.) with any filling, as long as both sides are not connected physically like a (hotdog bun, taco, etc). Open-Pseudo-Sandwich: Only 1 piece of bread related base material with any topping but an open form (such as pizza). Closed-Pseudo-Sandwich: Only 1 piece of bread related base material with any filling and a closed form (such as a tortilla). Semi-Parted-Pseudo-Sandwich: Only 1 piece of bread related base material with any filling and a Half-closed/open form (such as a hot-dog, taco, etc). False-Sandwich: A sub class that can apply to all the other classes if they are made with something other than bread as the base. Husk: A sandwich that is just the bread. Non-Sandwich: Food that lacks a bread base and does not class as any form of sandwich. Stack: A sandwich with more than 3 layers of bread based material of any type that act as bases for filling.

@@v_ChimChim_x The issue, though, is that almost all, if not all, of Subway's products are open faced items folded over, which by the definition cited, makes them not sandwiches. Common sense dictates that they must be considered sandwiches from a legal standpoint in order for a Subway and Panera to be disallowed in the same shopping center, but the only way the ruling would say so _is_ by citing common sense, which is legally fluid, as the central definition would prevent a Subway product from sandwich classification.

This is predicated on the idea that the bread is one piece as it's assembled, right? Well, but which of these things can you still comfortable eat if the bread halves come apart? The subway sandwich. In-hand handling has to be a factor as well. NO ONE likes a hotdog if the bread halves come apart.

[@GorggW]

I did an entire essay back in highschool about a grilled cheese sandwich, spent days researching sandwichs, history and anatomy, technically a sandwich doesn't need two pieces of bread, it can be one, heck look at every subway sandwich, regardless, a hotdog is a sandwich, and by that means, most grains and dough also count, so also sandwiches are jelly donuts, taco, peta bread pockets, and yes, technically, an egg roll.

MatPat may have made a reference to it at the beginning, but I would like to draw everyone's attention to the "Cube Rule of Food". As far as I can find, the "cube rule of food" originated from a Twitter post from user Phosphatide in March of 2018, who presented an image detailing the classifications of different foods based on the location of the starch in relation to the 'additions' (Including anything that falls under both 'toppings' and 'fillings'). The image not only lays a solid foundation for the definition of 'sandwhich', but also for things like 'toast', 'taco', and several other food nomenclatures. Phosphatide seems to have reverse-engineered a 'common sense' type approach and then using the broadest terms to describe/define. What makes a sandwich a 'sandwich'? According to the Cube Rule of Food, any assortment of two separate intact starches with any number of non starch/different starch ingredients between them. Nobody with 'common sense' could argue that any example using this formula is NOT a sandwich. Also, I think that by changing the identifier 'bread' to 'starch' it saves on trying to define 'bread' and including the other types of wrappings (I.e corn/flour tortillas, potato bread, buscuit, begal, etc). Check out the original tweet yourself or the website cuberule and have a look for yourself and see if you can possibly disagree with these definitions. thank you , and have a good day.

[@stevejensen7886]

How have you ignored the historical namesake? According to Wikipedia: "The sandwich is named after John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, an eighteenth-century English aristocrat. It is said that he ordered his valet to bring him meat tucked between two pieces of bread. It is commonly said that Lord Sandwich was fond of this form of food because it allowed him to continue playing cards, particularly cribbage, while eating, without using a fork, and without getting his cards greasy from eating meat with his bare hands." This should at least be considered when defining sandwiches. Clearly a hot dot with moderate condiments could be consumed whilst playing cribbage.

[@david2869]

Note that the "easy to eat with the hands" is an important part of a sandwich. If you have a super sloppy mass of condiments between two slices of bread, that is known as a "mess", not a sandwich! This also includes "bone-in" "sandwiches" - they are messes, not sandwiches (unless the bones are eaten as well). This is why "sandwiches" at Jersey Mike's served Mike's Way are NOT sandwiches!

I prefer lucidchart’s explanation: no starch creates a salad, one side of starch is toast, two sides is a sandwich, three is a taco, four is a sushi, five is a quiche, six is a calzone, and layers of starch is a cake. So yes, hotdogs are tacos. Also chicken wings are not sandwiches... they are calzones.

[@jerbinatorcc4999]

I TOLD YOU PIZZA WAS TOAST YOU HEAR THIS MOM I WASN’T LYING WHEN I SAID I HAD TOAST FOR DINNER

[@nienke7713]

So a pizza could either be toast or a quiche depending on whether the crust on the sides rises above the toppings in the middle, a burrito is halfway between sushi and a cake because the wrap often has some part where multiple layers exist, or possibly a quiche or calzone rather than sushi if one or two of the ends are sealed, putting an extra piece of bread in the middle of your sandwich makes a cake, and a steak is a salad...
