I think the 'key' feature would be 'finger food'??? I mean, easily held
with a little mess as possible. Something along that line. "Diggles"
is what my grandmother would call finger food Just 'dig' in --

Imho, a sandwich should be defined as anything between two slices of bread
(square or round) with "all sides potential of contents ooze." Anything
bread with a "backbone" is not.

Sandwich: Bagel, BLT, hamburger, panini
Not-a-Sandwich: Hotdog, cheesesteak, meatball sub, gyro, taco, wrap

I disagree about the constraint that a sandwich shouldn't be messy.

Andy

Interesting question, for me it feels like it has to be something
between two slices of bread but I could slice part of a baguette
partially in two , fill it and then call the result a sandwich. I
wouldn't call what McDo sells as a Big Mac as a sandwich because the
basic bread piece is a roll not a loaf, same with pita breads or hot dogs.


So basically a sandwich is something made from part of a loaf, where the
top and bottom surfaces are bread , and that may or may not be joined,
and that is filled with a tasty filling. Think the key phrase is
"part of a loaf"

I think you've got it! Rolls are not sandwich bread to me either and
I balk at calling anything not made with bread (pita, taco, gyro -
wraps of any sort) a sandwich.

So if you took a hamburger bun, slathered it with mustard and filled it with
cold cuts, lettuce, sliced tomato, pickles, and sliced onion, you WOULDN'T
call that a sandwich?

I think most people would.

What about open faced sammiches... like roast holiday turkey on white toast,
topped with dressing and flooded with gravy? Does pizza qualify as an open
faced sandwich, I think yes more than it qualifies as a pie.

How can those not be sandwiches, they epitomize the sandwich, taco means
sandwich.

The strictest definition is a piece of meat held with two pieces of
bread so you can eat and keep playing card, as was invented at the
behest of the Earl of Sandwich, from whence it got it's name.

Of course a roll qualifies as sandwich bread the Egg Mc Muffin is touted as
a sandwich... even a croisant, an english muffin, a six foot hero is
definitely a sandwich to reckon with.... um, don't bother slicing mine! LOL

A taco doesn't qualify as a sandwich as far as I am concerned. The
American Heritage dictionary on my Mac defines "sandwich" as:

"At first, I thought this was a bad idea, but after sleeping on it, I
take a more practical view. Let's face it, Vick served his time and his
reputation out on the football field is hard to match."

So PB&J and anything on a sliced bagel is a sandwich.

The reason why a taco isn't a sandwich is because it doesn't use two
slices of bread. Same for a gyro. Literally speaking, that famous diner
dish: open face turkey sandwich isn't really a sandwich either.

If; however, you can sleep well while regarding a taco and a gyro as a
type of sandwich, more power to you. In the end, they all end up in the
same place.

A roll is a type of bread , Yes, in the same way as a croissant or
muffin fall into the "bread family"

An Egg McMuffin is not a sandwich, it is a roll by another name

Still feel happy with my interpretation.

Recall, please, that the Earl of Sandwich simply
called for meat between two pieces of bread.
NO detail about bagel, Kaiser roll, Pumpernickel,
and so forth.

IMHO, a stuffed pita is a Sandwich as he originally
requested. The intent was that he could hold it in one hand
while he played cards with the other, a necessary condition
to the definition.

Play with it.....

Alex, sitting on top of the water tower, because the bodies
don't bounce that high....

If we are only going by what the Earl of Sandwich said, then there was
no point in the OP having asked this question

I thought we were being asked for our interpretation

There is a wonderful excentric pub in Edinborough (The Cannymans (?)
that besides serving some nice beer, offers a nice range of open topped
comestibles that are really tasty and that they call sandwiches but for
me that is wrong cos each "comestible" only uses 1 piece of bread

Regardless of what they, or Messrs McDo et al may choose to call things,
I am still happy with my defintion, a sandwich involves PART of a loaf

This is why I make a sandwich on one big piece of bread (Arnold's Dutch
something, my fav) and fold it over. If I want more I make another. It's
also a good way not to eat more than I want just because it is there.

I'm too American to accept painting the word "sandwich" with that
broad brush. A thin, unyeasted, breadlike substance wrapped around a
filling does not make it a sandwich. Call them by their names and
leave sandwich out of it. Rolls don't count in my book either so I
cringe whenever I see the term "hamburger sandwich". Don't get me
started about those abominations they call "croissant" sandwiches.
Ugh. The words croissant and sandwich should not even be in the same
thought.

Alex,

That reminds me, I've got a pewter "cheat" beer mug. It was a handled mug
with a wide glass bottom so you could keep your eyes on the card table as
you drank. I can't remember the country of origin.

Louis' Lunch, the first hamburgers in America (as seen on "Travel Channel:

the 3rd (?) generation owner DID call them hamburger sandwiches.

Thinking about it "Hamburger sandwich" is almost tortology for most
people in the UK because a "Hamburger" describes the entire package , ie
the meaty bit, the bready bits and whatever else is added

In France we have "bouef haché" meaning minced beef and " un steak
haché" meaning a shaped patty of minced beef

Hamburger seems to cover many things in colonial speak

According to the TV program, in Europe it was called Hamburg steak but it got
the "er" as in "hamburger" at Louis' Lunch, upon it's adoption in
Connecticut, USA.

I won't argue if it's served between two pieces of bread, but switch
it over to a bun and that's what it is... hamburger in a bun,
shortened to "hamburger" in these modern days.

It sounds wrong, but is it? You can make a hamburger and serve it with no
bun or bread, so putting it between slices of bread would then make it a
sandwich.

sf, sf, sf...

Here I've tried to assuage your fears. Alas.

A bun is sliced bread, as much as a bagel, as much as an English muffin.
Mis-shapened as it may appear, it's baked dough made to be halved to
contain "stuff."

The "Sandwiches According to Andy" theory applies to hamburger buns.

Dear Bums1,

Your bagels, (dear Gawd, English muffins - have you *no* shame?) buns,
rolls and assorted unleavened breads do not make sandwiches in my
book. See Chapter 11, page 8... The Rules of Sandwichery written by
Me. Available at your nearest library.

Do you *call* it a sandwich as in "I'll have a hamburger sandwich" or
do you call it a hamburger like everyone else does? Do you tell them

Well that all depends. If I'm eating a burger at the local burger joints,
I'd not use the term sandwich. At home, we sometimes have hamburgers just
plain, with a salad and veggies on a dish, but other times, if no buns
around, I'd put it on sliced bread. Then it would be a hamburger sandwich.

If I made a meal with sliced roast beef, cheese, may, lettuce and put it on
a hamburger bun, would it be a roast beef hamburger? Or would it be a roast
beef sandwich?

I'm trying to figure out what's in there *besides* the burger patty and the
waffles. Jack cheese or maybe provolone and... canned Ortega chiles? Maybe a
thin lettuce leaf at the bottom? Guacamole? What *is* that stuff?
