A lobster roll is on a split bun and I would say that is definitely a sandwich.
itâs not what I would expect from the word âsandwichâ but Iâm not gonna complain
I think the issue is assuming sandwich is the subset of this food category as opposed to the category itself. I think of it like rectangles and squares. A hamburger is a sandwich, but not all sandwiches can be hamburgers.
(this applies to hotdogs too!)
EDIT: even further, no one would call a square a rectangle in normal conversation.
hamburgers satisfy every requirement that i can think of for sandwichood apart from perhaps culturally being considered âsandwichesâ.
I think this tweet is highly relevant:
Itâs in a bun, so itâs more like a roll. When I picture sandwiches I picture bread like from a loaf, so I think that roll and sandwich are distinct. I donât know what the fuck a hot dog is in my schema, a hot dog bun is like a specialised bun or something but itâs not the same and most of the time the bread is bad.
No it is a pie. Also posts have to be at least 15 characters long
Categorically I go the route: All burgers are sandwiches, but not all sandwiches are burgers. But if Iâm being real they might as well be separate food stuffs. If I asked for a sandwich and you gave me a reuben, I canât complain. But if I ask for a sandwich and you give me a burger, I might.
100% agree with Austinâs comment. While I would say a hamburger is a sandwich, if someone said, âlets go get sandwichesâ I would never think they were talking about hamburgers. Which is kind of a weird thing.
A burger is a sandwich in the same way hummus is bean dip. In a technical sense but not in spirit.
damn⌠wasnât sure if this forum was gonna really get into that gritty, that real shit, that WHY⌠but I see I have my answer
is this post a sandwich??
Itâs about hamburgers in games journalism.
A hamburger is definitely a sandwich but isnât a pizza kind of like an open face sandwich?? A calzone is definitely a sandwich
Iâm sorry, Iâll see myself out.
Pizza is just an open-faced melt.
yes and i refuse to stay to argue about it
Iâm willing to go into neutral territory in either direction, but not both.
Chip butty, absolutely yes. Subway, of course. Hot dog? Hell no.
No, a hamburger is those 3 lines at the top of the page. Does no one else listen to the podcast? Honestly.
Yes, I would classify a hamburger as a subclass of a sandwich.
