Ravioli is a sandwich.
Pizza is not just an open-faced sandwich. You can draw the line exactly there. Once you start baking the dough with the rest of it then it no longer becomes a sandwich. Otherwise yes you're correct that there can be plenty of room for latitude.
Does putting a sandwich in a toaster oven make it not a sandwich? Checkmate, gluten boy!
A judge ruled that tacos and burritos are sandwiches. What do you think?
If there’s one thing you can count on, it’s that people will never tire of arguing about what does and doesn’t constitute a sandwich. A judge in Fort Wayne, Indiana, contributed to the ongoing debate on May 13 by ruling that tacos and burritos are indeed sandwiches after a years-long court case, WISH-TV reports.
“Tacos and burritos are Mexican-style sandwiches,” Allen County Superior Court Judge Craig J. Bobay wrote in his ruling.
The legal case started in 2022 when restaurateur Martin Quintana announced plans to open The Famous Taco Mexican Grill in a Fort Wayne strip mall. The local planning commission rejected Quintana’s bid, citing a prior agreement that only restaurants selling “made-to-order or subway-style sandwiches” without outdoor seating or alcohol would be permitted, CBS 4 reports.
Judge Bobay ruled in Quintana’s favour, saying that “the original Written Commitment does not restrict potential restaurants to only American cuisine-style sandwiches.” The judge added that made-to-order gyros, naan wraps or banh mi would also be allowed, provided the restaurants complied with the other conditions.
tacos sandwiches
burritos no. A sandwich cannot be completely enclosed by bready stuff and still be a sandwich.
Otherwise you start calling stuff like gyoza or ravioli (sorry bgp but no) sandwiches, and they are not.
I don't see that in any definition.
two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between.

Even under the most stringent definitions, banh mi is a sandwich. It's made with French bread ffs. Silly for the judge to add that.
Nothing disallows it, so I don't think what you're saying is accurate.
If I were to take a sub and then seal the roll around the sides it ceases to be a sandwich?

Yes it would no longer be a sandwich at that point. You would have made yourself some sort of unbaked calzone. Close but not a sandwich.
Which is another type of sandwich:
2 or more slices of bread, a bread roll or similar that are sold with a filling
It's like trying to argue that opossums are rodents. They just aren't.
Yeah they could be. And sort of are like them. But they aren't.
Everyone knows that opossums are marsupials, not rodents. Come on!
Lunchbox is fixin to be served a knuckle sandwich.
Yeah those are little PB&J calzonitas.
They just call them sandwiches because we don't really have a word in English for what those actually are.
Should we sue Smucker's for false advertising?
Honest to blog, when I fist head the "Well Palestinian is a nationality so it's not racist to call them bloodthirsty savages" bit I thought it was so immediately stupid on its face that it didn't warrant a response. Like a month later and they're still trotting it out! I sort of have to assume it's bad faith, like I don't think it's humanly possible to be that obtuse and live i
I still can't figure out why anyone wants to claim racism about something that has nothing to do with race. It's like they can't figure out any other words for bias based on things apart from race.
He's correct in this case, regarding the use of "an" in that definition.
I have always thought of ethnicity as being kind of a subgroup of race, but the definition given certainly wouldn't imply that. Maybe I have always misunderstood what most others mean by ethnicity, or else most people in the US just use it to mean something different than that defintion.
