I don't care a whit what the US court system considers a sandwich.
- tshaddox 5y agoI don't think the suggestion was that the US court system's definition is supreme. I think the requirement of bread or at something starchy matches most people's intuitions for the definition of "sandwich." Is an apple (eaten whole, with your hands) a sandwich, given that apple peel contains carbohydrates?
- bryanrasmussen 5y agoby their definition not because the inside of the apple is not 'messy'
- tshaddox 5y agoThe stated requirement is that the inside is messier than the outside. I think that's uncontroversially true of an apple.
- bryanrasmussen 5y agohmm, maybe, I think it must be a mistake though, the inside of just about everything is messier than the outside.
- oneplane 5y agoI'd say the inside of a rock is exactly as messy as the outside, but we can't eat rocks so that might be out of scope.
- thfuran 5y agoYou can eat them if they're very small but you probably shouldn't.
- bryanrasmussen 5y agoyeah but the inside of a human is messier, which indicates that a human wearing this stuff https://materialdistrict.com/article/wheat-straw-based-clothing/ https://materialdistrict.com/article/wheat-straw-based-cloth... is a sandwich.

- bryanrasmussen 5y agoIs there a particular court system you prefer? Perhaps Ireland, https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/01/irish-court-rules-subway-bread-is-not-bread https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/01/irish-court-ru... , if Subway bread too sugary to be bread maybe then a Subway sandwich is a form of cake. I wonder if 'Is it Cake?' will address this important question.
- Forgeties79 5y agoWell, as you know, all food is either a cake or a pie. So that settles that problem.
