Sandwich defined

[Jingthing]

Wow!

Very controversial conclusions here.

You might want to make sure you're sitting down for this:

Quiet day JT....?...........

[arthurwait]

I got to 32 seconds.

I'm guessing it isn't big enough for Deknoi.

[Jingthing]

I think they're stretching it with calling a pita thingie a sandwich. The pita bread piece is one piece and connected. An actual sandwich has two INDEPENDENT framing pieces.

[Jingthing]

Quiet day JT....?...........

You must be joking.

This is momentous.

If only the Earl was here to see the ramen sandwich!

I will define what is not a sandwich.

A panini....whoever came up with that idea I will happily form an execution squad of one.

[zydeco]

Sounds like US Government regulation for what a sandwich should be.

Seems to me under "the definition" that a panini is most def a sandwich.

You're just trying to torment me.

I say anything that needs heating up is a......

Toastie!

Not really but as the video shows, legal issues have come up around the question. Can someone explain to me why a stuffed pita IS a sandwich and a burrito ain't?

[RichCor]

And an Ice Cream Sandwich isn't really a sandwich, but the Thais seem to think it is.

I'll try a lot of Thai food 'creations', but not this one.

[Jingthing]

That's a sandwich.

Thai bread is so soft and sweet that it's not as weird as it looks.

untrue...

now, that's a sandwich...they got 'em at the petrol station where I fuel up in saudi...just a dusty petrol station in the desert, but the little shop has got...ice cream sandwiches...(images of pakistani truck drivers tooling along at recklessly high speed hookin' down the ice cream sandwiches...)

Right, food snob (me) forcing his opinion on others here... 'Bread' that is soft and sweet isn't bread, it is so far down the line of factory processing of what was once a healthy product that it is no longer bread. Hell, I even make my own toast bread.

In every day conversation, the word sandwich can mean something has been squashed between two other things. In fact many men dream of this...

[Jingthing]

Our lovely definition clearly says the framing pieces do not need to be bread anyway.

Hmm, the meat in the sandwich.

[transam]

Lets get the facts straight. The use of the word sandwich DOES come from the Earl of Sandwich, Kent, England. Two slices of bread with meat in the middle.

The word sandwich has been used to take a similar approach to something/someone caught between two things.

[Ace of Pop]

No Sandwich can compare with one from a Brit Transport Cafe. The Greasy Spoon Cafe put enough Cholesterol in one to last a lifetime. Fond memories during my time there. Bacon Egg Sausage Tomato, and black Sausage sliced stuff in 3 pieces of bread with brown sauce.

[wayned]

I didn't think that Brits ate sandwiches - only sarnies, buttys, baps, barms and a lot of other weird names for things that resemble a sandwich..

[Ace of Pop]

True just as You Planks eat Hot Dogs that taste like nothing known to Mankind, but i rather like them. Them Hi So Brits in Nakers and Pongy City you know eat Caviar on Toast...Gimee a U.S Steak Bar anytime. Yummy.

[Felixthecat]

Well all i can say is that you learn something new everyday!.....even though i already knew that a ''burritos'' is not a sandwich! 555555

[Jingthing]

Yes.

But IF a stuffed pita IS a sandwich, how about tacos?

[Ace of Pop]

That place that stinks of Sculptor from oil drilling is KPP by the way. You can only taste the Smell.

[fasteddie]

In the uk, lots of outlets are now selling pre packed sarnies and baguettes with no butter or marge! Yuk! the arguments I've had.

[smokie36]

I never ever buy pre packed sarnies....yuuuuk

Correct and he invented the sandwich in order to keep playing cards and not stop for dinner.
