Sandwich Thread

[DirtyRed]

This seems more appropriate than the Shitposting forum, because what is and what is not a sandwich is SRS BZNS.

A hotdog in not a sandwich. A sandwich is two discrete pieces of bread containing, for the purposes of eating with the hands without undue cleanup afterwards, multiple segments of filling, at least one of which must be meat or fish.

A hotdog is one piece of bread folding around one solid piece of filling, and is therefore not a sandwich.

Anyone who disagrees can meet me on DirtyRed's Field of Honor(TM) for a whoopin'.

This thread needs Chebass88's Sandwich Spec 2.0

Sandwich 3.0 is a lie. By DR rules if you slice the hot dog bun all the way through you have a sandwich. What's that all about?

[cgeorg]

You also have to slice the hotdog lengthwise at least once, I think.

He gets it.

At a point where the bun is in two pieces and the hot dog has been subdivided, it isn't even a hot dog anymore, and is a sandwich.

multiple segments of filling, at least one of which must be meat or fish

What bullshit is this? First, what is "multiple segments of filling"?

And why would any decent person malign cheese like this?

Perhaps you can find a better way to concisely word "not one goddamn solid piece"?

Though now that you mention cheese, I might want to amend the previous definition to specify at least one filling must be meat, fish, or dairy product.

There will be no malignant cheeseposting here. It will not stand. Do you know what happens to people in WI who get out of line about cheese? They end up in the Dairy Education Camps on the outer Apostle Islands, that's what happens. From the stories we hear you really don't want to be there in January. Bleak, dark, frozen, barren, cheeseless; a real life Bergman film existence.

Come on DR, say it, "Cheese". ...one filling must be meat, fish, or Cheese. Elsewise, some will weasel out and consider a shmear of butter as satisfying the requirement.

[Chebass88]

It should read as containing at least one edible food product.

I'll post the spec next week.

Look, I will fight anyone who says that a single, thick slab of giant heirloom tomato grown in my back yard sprinkled with salt and pepper and served between two slices of humble white bread slathered with mayo is not a sandwich. Such a creation is among the finest sandwiches humankind can make.

[Chebass88]

Hoagies and subs are sandwiches, even though the bread is not sliced all the way through. And if it is, you should avoid going to a place like that in the future.

[mgil]

Don't forget that tacos are sandwiches.

Would sound excellent with a leaf of lettuce and a few strips of bacon. And not crispy bacon. Crispy bacon is evil.

But for real, I've had tomato sandwiches like above, on Wonder bread. Good stuff.

exactly the first thing I thought of.

This sandwich spec needs to be scrapped and rebuilt from the ground up.

[BootyBeech]

Is a bunch of hotdogs in two pieces of bread a sandwich? Let's say eight of them.

[cwd]

Let's begin by acknowledging that "sandwich" is a fuzzy category.

We all have a few canonical example sandwiches that score a perfect 1.0 SSC (Sandwich Score of Confidence, not to be confused with Starting Strength Coach):
* peanut butter and jelly between two slices of baked, leavened bread
* sliced preserved meat between two slices of baked, leavened bread

With a score of about .7 SSC we have some sandwich with adjectives examples:
* ice cream between two graham crackers "ice cream sandwich"
* preserved fish and pickles on top of a partial slice of bread "swedish open-face sandwich"

With a score of maybe .5 SSC we get the various heretical topology violations using the wrong shape of bread product, but still arguably sandwiches:
* tacos
* hot dogs
* calzones

And then we reach the limits of foodstuffs that violate many sandwich rules but still arguably score barely more than 0.0 SSC.
* bread "sandwiches" -- no filling
* things called sandwiches that are wet on the outside and must be eaten with utensils

What this is?

[bugbomb]

What this is?

That is a KFC Double Down, I believe.

[DirtyRed]

How is a "peanut butter and jelly" sandwich a Perfect Sandwich and not an Adjective Sandwich?

And shit on one piece of bread that you have to eat by balancing on top of the bread like an overgrown tortilla chip is not a sandwich, regardless of colloquialisms.

I mean, if an open-face "sandwich" is considered an official sandwich, you could call Buggy leaning against you a cwd sandwich. Which you obviously wouldn't, because you aren't sandwiched!
