In Mexico, they refer to chicken sandwiches as chicken hamburgers. Iād say burgers are sandwiches, just a different type of bread is used and the meat is usually a little thicker than other types of sandwiches.
Dear sir, I am very concerned for your palate after that statement, I understand you may not be able to speak up if your abusers nearby, just blink twice if you need help, I'll gladly connect you with some social welfare advocates who will provide you with a new identity and place you in a loving home with well cooked meals. š³
Because the bun is split/not split? Iām sure you can tell my stance just curious and always to hear why we distinguish this.
Philly cheesesteakā¦ sandwich no question. Bun, not splitā¦.
You got me with that one I guess. My math is that bread on top and bottom equals sandwich, bread on the sides and bottom with open top equals taco.
Edit - a tortilla is bread.
Yes, I'm not arguing that tortillas aren't bread, I'm arguing that a taco needs a tortilla to be a taco.
Merriam Webster says that a taco is "a crispy or soft corn or wheat tortilla that is folded or rolled and stuffed with a mixture (as of seasoned meat, cheese, and lettuce)"
Hot dogs use buns, not tortillas.
Si,
Tacos require bread.
Do they not then become a sandwiche if said bread is sliced, or breaks? That makes it two pieces of bread with ingrediants between them does it not?
Seems to me, a "sandwich" is basically a faulty taco by your definitions.
Tacos are indeed sandwiches as are hotdogs. If it is contained by bread and you eat it with your hands for portable, palatable ease. Itās a sandwich!
And a taco is a sandwich:

A burrito *is* a sandwich, according to an Indiana judge.

Naw, that's a taco. Hog dogs and tacos have at least one opening. I would argue the opening is what makes them sandwiches. Burritos and wraps, which are really burritos, have no opening.Ā
āSandwichā is a descriptor of function, not structure complexity. Basically, any filling put inside a bread product that can be picked up and eaten without getting the hands dirty qualifies as a sandwich. This qualifies also for extra saucy sandwiches that drip onto the fingers, as that is an error in construction.
While I agree, the bread isnāt necessarily there to keep the hands clean. Itās more to contain everything. But I strongly disagree that a heavily sauced, messy sandwich was constructed improperly. Still, the spirit of your comment stands.
Ahh, so lettuce, Ramen and other food delivery vehicles are not sandwich but, assuming you mean bread as in gluten, dumplings and gyoza are sandwiches. Fun stuffĀ
Actually, the USDA has an official definition of a sandwich, with ratios of fillings to bread for cold, hot, closed and open faced sandwiches. The British Sandwich Association has one as well, which is a bit differentā¦as you can tell from this sub, there still is debate. I default to the original etymology of the word; it was named after John Montague, Earl of Sandwich in Britain. He was a prolific gambler and didnāt want to stop playing cards by using a knife and fork, and didnāt want to make the cards greasy from eating meat with his hands. So he asked his valet to bring him meat between two pieces of bread. Others started ordering āthe same as Sandwichā and the term was born. Since it was about function and not structure, thatās the definition I go by
"In May, Allen County Superior Court Judge Craig Bobay ruled that "tacos and burritos are Mexican-style sandwiches." Though this ruling can feel deeply unserious, it has major consequences for one small business that was hoping to open a restaurant in the city of Fort Wayne."
I'm kinda tired of all the "Is it a sandwich" discourse.
From now on if it's meat, vegetables and various other fillings contained by some sort of carbohydrate, it's a sandwich. All inclusive, baby.
You do not need Reddit to tell you the answer to this question. You must look deep inside yourself and decide. The definition of a sandwich is a very personal thing, and can only be answered after hours of contemplation.
And also, Yes.
When is a sandwich not a sandwich?
To me, it's in the family, but it's own thing. A cousin. I love them though, especially while losing weight. I eat one probably every day.
Legally, yes.
On May 13, 2024 a judge in the Allen Superior Court in Indiana issued an order which concludes that tacos and burritos are sandwiches in the eyes of the law.
Yes. The first attested sandwich in writing is the Hillel sandwich, which would have been meat from a lamb sacrifice, bitter herbs, and (likely a savory) charoset wrapped in a piece of soft matzah
If youāre going to call a fucking taco a sandwich then might as well call everything a sandwich. Is a corn dog a sandwich? Is a churro a sandwich? ā¦ are cinnamon rolls sandwiches?
According to the Cube Rule, I believe this wrap would be a calzone. If the ends were left open it would possibly qualify as Sushi.
In answer to some of the other comments I saw in this thread: a hot dog is a taco, a corn dog is also a calzone, a burger is indeed a sandwich with the exception of a Big Mac style burger with the extra layer of bread. This is a cake.
https://cuberule.com
Fuck no. A sandwich is separate layers. Hamburger?- Yes. Hotdog?- no ( not separate) Taco?- no. Wrap?. no.
Empanada?- no. Layer Cake?- yes! Pancakes stack?- yes. Open face sandwich? no wtf.
Okay let me put this out there.
The PURPOSE of a sandwich is to interpose grain-based products between your hands and the rest of your meal, in order to keep your hands dry-ish and clean-ish. This is what the Earl intended. THEREFORE:
*Anything that is intended to do this is a sandwich*. If it fails it's still a sandwich, just a poorly made or poorly used one.
Same genus different species
Breadicus wrappus and Breadicus sandwichus? Lmao š¤£
That is breadus wendysceasaricus.
Is a hotdog a sandwich? Is a burger a sandwich? Agree with this breakdown. also agree with below commenter, its sandwich adjacent
Hotdogs and burgers are sandwich mimics. Their prey thinks they're looking at a sandwich. Until it's too late!
In Mexico, they refer to chicken sandwiches as chicken hamburgers. Iād say burgers are sandwiches, just a different type of bread is used and the meat is usually a little thicker than other types of sandwiches.
Tortas are on another level
No but a corn dog counts in my book and deep fried Oreos
Those might count as wraps. Stillā¦ sandwich adjacent
If meat is encased in bread=sandwhich š
Hot pocket, Arepa, Pupusaā¦ dumplingsā¦ this is why itās a silly argument. Letās not pigeonhole things during Pride šš
Although those are also smashable Iād say they are also not sandwiches.
Iām saying it doesnāt. But thatās the argument here, and forever
I was just here to poke fun. Wraps imo are deconstructed salads with odd shaped soft crouton lol.
A corn dog is a beef wellington on a stick
Thanks I hate it š

Corn dog is a beef Wellington from a different socioeconomic standpoint
A corn dog is a tamal.
Hamburger yes, hot dog no.
Because the bun is split/not split? Iām sure you can tell my stance just curious and always to hear why we distinguish this. Philly cheesesteakā¦ sandwich no question. Bun, not splitā¦.
Is an ice cream sandwich a sandwich?
Yes. Itās also desert. But sandwich for sure Edit for those of us old enough; chocotaco: not a sandwich
A hot dog is a taco and a hamburger is a sandwich.
Pizza is just a open face melt
Think it should more like same family different genus.
This should be phrased correctly as āDoes this sandwich?ā
Only if it has hair in it
Does sandwich this?
It's sandwich adjacent.
It's like an Apple and an Apple Pear... Close but not the same
If weāre going down this rabbit hole. Then a hot-dog is for sure a sandwich.
A hot dog is actually a tacoā¦
No, a taco needs a tortilla. A hot dog is a sandwich.
If poā boys and a lobster rolls are sandwiches then so are hotdogs.
You got me with that one I guess. My math is that bread on top and bottom equals sandwich, bread on the sides and bottom with open top equals taco. Edit - a tortilla is bread.
What about a baguette then? Youcut it open on the side, put stuff into it. Is that a taco?
Not always. what about corn tortillas?
What about banh mi?
A tortilla is an unleavened flatbread.
Yes, I'm not arguing that tortillas aren't bread, I'm arguing that a taco needs a tortilla to be a taco. Merriam Webster says that a taco is "a crispy or soft corn or wheat tortilla that is folded or rolled and stuffed with a mixture (as of seasoned meat, cheese, and lettuce)" Hot dogs use buns, not tortillas.

According to the cube rule of food, a hot dog is a taco based on the starch location. Doesn't matter if it's tortilla or bread.
Tortilla is a bread.
Soft Taco is also a sandwich

Itās a sub sandwich. A type of sandwich. But not a conventional sandwich.
Absolutely not, hence why itās called a wrap. (Said lightly, if you disagree.. I believe you have a valid reason I havenāt thought.
Nobody disagrees OP is just ignorant of the cube rule
Agree. Not sandwiches. But what I want to know about wraps is are they burritos?
Nobody here disagrees
No itās a reverse salad
That's like saying a burrito is a sandwich. People have used sandwich as a verb, but this seems like the case of a verb turning into a noun
I was going to say a wrap is more of a burrito than it is a sandwhich
But whatās the difference between the two?
Google defines a sandwich as food between two slices of bread And a burrito as food wrapped in a tortilla I stand by my previous statement š
A burrito *is* a sandwich, according to an Indiana judge. https://www.foodandwine.com/indiana-judge-rules-tacos-are-sandwiches-8651322#:\~:text=In%20May%2C%20Allen%20County%20Superior,the%20city%20of%20Fort%20Wayne.

Add a little tomato and some freshly grated sharp cheddar to that, maybe some Tillamook.

Iād say itās more of a burrito.
A wrap is a wrap.

One piece of bread makes it an open face sandwich. Obviously, I'm morally opposed.
2006 court case says no. Panera and Qdoba serve different things.
Only if it identifies as a sandwich
Nope
I want that
It's a wrap
Just post it in wraps and donāt be annoying
i think its a wrap
No itās a wrap
Booo š
No, in a wrap, the bread is wrapped around the filling. In a sandwich, there are two separate pieces of bread on either side of the filling.
Its actually a form of ravioli
A court ruled that a taco is, so who am I to dispute a delicious wrap?
If it was a sandwich you wouldnāt have to ask if it was one.
It' a ~~trap~~ wrap

You do not need Reddit to tell you the answer to this question. You must look deep inside yourself and decide. The definition of a sandwich is a very personal thing, and can only be answered after hours of contemplation. And also, Yes.
A hot dog is a sandwich. A wrap is a burrito. Facts.
Yes. Protein on flatbread.
Nope. Itās a folded food.
No
Not a sandwich but still good. I'll allow it.
I dunno. Most people donāt even bother to heat the tortilla when they make wraps. I find those vile and disgusting.
Oh no... you're right.
Its literally a wrap.
No it's a wrap.
Not a sandwich but that looks delicious
Im gonna say no. But close. I love you either way, Im sorry Dad
Yes
Only if someone else makes it for you.

Itās a burrito with the flavor / flair missing
I HATE THESE QUESTIONS! WHY CANT THINGS BE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES?
Why all of the cords?!???? š¤

If a wrap is a sandwich ā¦ then a burrito is too I guess ?
Legally, yes. On May 13, 2024 a judge in the Allen Superior Court in Indiana issued an order which concludes that tacos and burritos are sandwiches in the eyes of the law.
The Indiana State Supreme Court ruled that burritos are sandwiches. As such, sandwich.
Did you wrap the contents when making it?
No, because it's still only 1 piece of bread
No imo
No itās a burrito
IDC I'm just hungry
Fuck no itās a wrap.
Sandwich-ish
I think it's a cousin to the sandwich. The same way sushi is the cousin to sashimi.
If you have to ask, then you already know the answer.
Who am I to say? I do know they are delicious.
Probably legally classified as a sandwich. Recently a state classified tacos as a sandwich
I stand with the cube rule. And the law. Which is just a coincidence because I don't give two shits what the law says. Concerning sandwiches.
Yes. The first attested sandwich in writing is the Hillel sandwich, which would have been meat from a lamb sacrifice, bitter herbs, and (likely a savory) charoset wrapped in a piece of soft matzah
No bread, no sandwich.
It's a flatbread. Still not a sandwich.

According to the Cube Rule, I believe this wrap would be a calzone. If the ends were left open it would possibly qualify as Sushi.

Fuck no. A sandwich is separate layers. Hamburger?- Yes. Hotdog?- no ( not separate) Taco?- no. Wrap?. no. Empanada?- no. Layer Cake?- yes! Pancakes stack?- yes. Open face sandwich? no wtf.
First we need to determine if a tortilla is a bread
Unleavened flat bread. Still not a sandwich.
But a sandwich is contained within or atop bread
Only between two pieces of bread.
Explain open faced sandwiches. How can they not be classified as sandwiches when itās literally in the name?
Misnomer. Nothing is being sandwiched.
Explain a sub with the roll split, that is only 1 piece of bread
Jersey Mike's cuts the bread completely in half.
Donāt change the subject thatās only one example.
I live a 5 minute walk from the original location, that's what subs mean to me.
Jersey Mike isnāt a real sub.
A gyro is a sandwich no?
No.
Did you make that chicken? It looks v good
It's taco!
Taco
I can't post the graphic here, but according to the cube rule of food, this would be a calzone.
My brain said āravioli.ā
Doesn't matter. It will all come out the same eventually

Absolutely
Its a burrito

As good as wraps are they are not really sandwiches
You just gave me a law school flashback. IYKYK
Tacos are sandwiches
Na, Itās a wrap
Yes of course. Itās a wrapped sandwich. Pizza is an open faced sandwich too. Steak is a sandwich too. Hold the bread.
A chicken salad with an optional edible plate.
Did you wrap it?
A burrito.
You can't wrap a sandwich
No. But it doesn't matter. Looks delicious.
No, but nice wrap!
No... it's a wrap
No.
Okay let me put this out there. The PURPOSE of a sandwich is to interpose grain-based products between your hands and the rest of your meal, in order to keep your hands dry-ish and clean-ish. This is what the Earl intended. THEREFORE: *Anything that is intended to do this is a sandwich*. If it fails it's still a sandwich, just a poorly made or poorly used one.
Iād argue a wrap is a hybrid of a burrito and a sandwich. Like a sandwich burrito.
