Meat and or cheese between pastries (i.e. a Luther or a McGriddle) is technically a pie.

Now you got me thinking about calzones again and whether pizza crust counts as bread. If so, calzones really would be considered sandwiches and pizza open-faced sandwiches :psyduck:

The culinary arts must have been so much simpler before the sandwich, no wonder the chickencheese caused such an uproar earlier.

I think any type of filling would do, such as a tuna sandwich, a mayonnaise sandwich, or an egg salad sandwich, but bread is definitely required.

On a different note, what's the difference between a chicken ballotine and a chicken galantine?

A ballotine can be served hot.

I think the pizza could be considered an open face sandwich, but a calzone is not a sandwich. It's a turnover.

Psh, amateur. What about if you replace that sandwich's mushroom caps with fried chicken patties?

Is that still a sandwich?



Bonus question: are sandwiches and sammiches the same thing?

That mostly depends on whether the breading on the fried chicken counts as bread. If it does, though, then it's a bunch of toppings between two sandwiches.

Snap judgement, no. But you could put this into a piece of frybread to make a burrap, perhaps.

The correct way to define a sandwich is by whether or not the external portions, be they bread or otherwise, require any cooking or non-room temperature storage by the consumer before use over a prolonged time. I think this is the best definition as it allows for ice cream sandwiches but omits any delusions that pizzas are a sandwich as the base would require freezing or baking.

I think it is more a matter of construction. A sandwich demands the traditional arrangement:

Bread
\/
Filling
\/
Bread

This a pretty inclusive and helps exclude wraps, tacos and the like.

Interesting loophole. Maybe only leavened bread counts?

Really though, the question is, "Where does bread end and crackers begin?"

:eng101: People a long time ago used to make bread sandwiches. I made a few when I lived at my lovely parents' house and they are pretty good. I would like you goons to also try it.

- 1 piece of untoasted bread.
- 1 piece of toasted bread, salted and peppered. I butter mine but that's optional
- another piece of untoasted bread.
- 2 huevos
- 1 rancheros

One sandwich. So long as you meet the "Bread top and bottom" requirement the middle stuff is unimportant.

The olive is just garnish, it doesn't disqualify the sandwich from being a sandwich.

Besides, maybe that the top part of the bread + the olive on top is just an open-faced sandwich part of the decker.

Hamburgers are just tacos in disguise.

Tacos are just tidy nachos and don't belong in the sandwich subcategories at all.

And calzones are a subsection of Strombolis, which are the cousin of both pizza and wraps.

Wraps, of course, being a burrito for fancy lads, while burritos are themselves just a rolled tortilla, which is merely an edible plate.

Other items in the edible plate family include chips and crackers.

So a sandwich is defined by items BETWEEN BREAD. Whereas all other bread/carb bases/substitutes are defined by the carb-based item under or around their toppings or fillings.

Come on, people. A child could figure this out.

No, you goddamn charlatan, a hamburger is not just a taco in disguise. They each have a distinct flavor profile and texture that sets one apart from the other, how you would make this mistake is completely beyond me but evidently you're some form of drooling cancer on the culinary education of our world, assuming all meat/carb combinations are equivalent. Go read a book, learn the textural differences between bread and tortillas, about the artificial inflation of mexican cuisine prices; dig deep in to the abridged history of the Invasion of Kuwait and maybe you'll come out with enough knowledge to make a Gulf Slider without adding in salsa or something. :frog:

I would agree with you but Merriam-Webster includes "one slice of bread covered with food" as definition b for sandwich. :shrug:
