I think the author should have made the statement "A sandwich is an item of food consisting of two pieces of bread with meat, cheese, or other filling between them".
And then asked questions like:
- Is a grilled cheese a sandwich?
- Is two pieces of bread with a third piece of bread in the middle a sandwich?
- Is a hotdog a sandwich?
- Is a taco a sandwich?
- Is a breadbowl a sandwich?
- Is a poptart a sandwich?
- Is a calzone a sandwich?
- Is a burrito a sandwich?
- Is a pizza folded in half a sandwich?
Having asked these questions to many folks over the years, I promise the answers are much more split.
- jachee 3y agoAre ravioli sandwiches?
- koolba 3y ago> Is a pizza folded in half a sandwich? If you don’t cut it, no. If you cut it at the fold, yes. Now what if the pizza crust is toasted enough that, while it was not your intent, it breaks evenly at the seam during the act of folding it in half, and then you proceed to collapse the two halves before taking a bite. Did you have a sandwich for lunch?
- dmattia 3y agoAha, I love a man of principle. I would say that I would have had a sandwich in that case, as I believe that the structure of the food item should only be considered as it enters your mouth, completely removed from an explanation as to how that food item came to be up to that point. However, I wonder you you would reconcile an uncut, folded pizza not being a sandwich against a meatball marinara, which to my understanding is a single piece of sliced bread with meat and sauce in the middle. Is this not a sandwich?
- aerio 3y agoIs a pizza folded in half on itself and cut at the fold just a cheese and pepperoni melt?
- chii 3y agoso an open-face sandwich is technically not a sandwich in your definition then! Even tho it's in the name!
- laurentlb 3y agoIt depends on the language. For me personally, I see "open-face sandwich" as a naming mistake in English. Similarly, the list of berries is not the same as the list of fruit ending with "*berry".
- usrusr 3y agoIf you gnaw off the fold, does the remaining part become a sandwich? If you bite off a piece that excludes the fold, does it become sandwich in the mouth? Fascinating mystery, right up there with the transubstration in that cannibal religion!

- natch 3y agoMore split than what? Only 11% agreed with my correct answers. Seems pretty split to me and I can only see the results for one person.
- aerio 3y agoAh, a fellow member of the elite 11%! Now, I wonder which specific items we agreed on, if any.
- zuminator 3y agoI also was 11%. For me I only counted car, police, ambulance, bike, wagon and horse as vehicles.
- charlieyu1 3y agoAlso 11%, I have tank instead of horse.
- raphman 3y agoAlso got 11% - what does this number actually express?
- ThePowerOfFuet 3y ago11% club here; wut?
- usrusr 3y agoYou'd have to ask someone who didn't get 11
- NoboruWataya 3y agoAlso 11%, and I was more lenient (IIRC, only car, police and ambulance). Perhaps it is broken?
- bilekas 3y ago11% here too.. Although it looks like 11% is the majoritiy of results here.. Interesting
- shrikant 3y agoTime to wheel out this old classic then: https://cuberule.com/ https://cuberule.com/
- Panoramix 3y agoI don't understand. If you walk into an establishment and ask for a sandwich, and they bring you any of the items you listed, you and me and everyone would be upset and confused. So no they are not sandwiches.
- Panoramix 3y agoOk, I wrote "any" but I think the one with bread in the middle would be accepted by most (club sandwich). Can't edit on this app..
