What makes a sandwich, a sandwich?

[ttokkii]

At first glance, most of us will think "such a stupid question, it's a sandwich!" But really think about it. What makes a sandwich ?

Are burgers and hotdogs sandwiches ? Two breadsticks and a piece of cheese? Two slices of bread? Does it even have to be bread? Or edible?

These are the most important questions in life.

There is one thing you will learn about the EoFF community, and that is that we take food far far too seriously and I predict that this topic is one that will start a debate that will end friendships.

My friends and I have had a similar conversation that lasted for hours. It got extremely heated.

I think we had this one before. Though it was more of a 'is a chicken sandwich a burger or a sandwich' type deal.

It has happened before. To wit, it was the successor of the great soup-drink debate.

Okay I'm leaving the forum, I'll be back in 3 weeks when this has all blown over.

anything w/ bread, crackers or a bun is technically a sandwich, including hot dogs & hamburgers. #Come@MeBros

Hot dogs are sandwiches. Come at us, bros.

Hamburgers are warm sandwiches.

A single cracker used to scoop up dip is not a sandwich. A slice of bread used to mop up soup is also not a sandwich. FOH.

I'm biding my time, guys. Just waiting for the right post.

I can agree.

I ain't buyin' that a cracker makes a sandwich unless it's two BIG crackers. Then I guess it's basically a big flat/unleavened bread sandwich. That sounds pretty dry and gross though.

You have to be careful with your bread though. If you scoop up too much sauce, and happen to get some cheese and/or other ingredients then you accidentally made and open-faced sandwich.

If you spread soup onto two slices of bread and put them together... is that then a sandwich that is also a drink?
