I would not call the Doubledown a sandwich

Breaded =/= bread.
Besides, I'm pretty sure you can get a grilled doubledown, though heaven knows why you'd want such a thing.
Well, then what the hell else is it? It's got stuff between two other pieces of stuff.
KFC calls it a sandwich, good enough for me.
I would go to my grave shouting the bitter truth!
Maybe I'm using the word "sandwich" wrong but these are normal breakfast... things
I feel bad for anyone who calls that a sandwich.

I just realized the US has the best food
I was almost in shocked by the amount of meat I got on one sandwich in the US. Would last me a whole week. My Norwegian sandiwches are bread with butter/mayo and a piece of meat/cheese (maybe a slice of tomato/cucumber if i'm adventorous. Maybe not much for you, but our bread is usually at least much better and more filling than yours

A double down is a sandwich. It ain't got no bread.
Same concept, two pieces of meat with hot sauce in the middle = sandwich.
Now that's a sandwich, and no butter messing everything up.

Think of it more like a meaty salad in a bun.

OP I can't stop laughing at this butter and cheese meal you so happily eat. Do you have a gofundme link I can donate to? Geezuz..
Well then a grilled doubledown isn't a sandwich.
No that's just meat and hot sauce. Which I eat when I have no bread and therefore can't make a sandwich.
most = best?

It's more about not being greedy or glutenous rather than poor.

Looks like the answer to your question OP is a resounding yes.
Wait a minute... Americans don't eat sandwiches like that? To me, a sandwich is a single piece of bread with one or two toppings. The most common ones are cheese or thin slices or ham. Add a bowl of cereal or some coffee and that's what 90% of Swedes eat for breakfast.
Here is a pretty normal breakfast:
Do Scandinavians put butter on everything?
like a grilled cheese sandwich? I understand that. But straight up cheese on a piece of toast/bread? that's common?

lol @ that butter and cheese sandwich. Dude is probably from the same country that wraps a hot dog in a tortilla and sprinkles some cheese in there.

Why would you waste good cheese on a pathetic sandwich like that? I eat good cheeses in the company of other meats and vegetables.

Can you honestly say you have never seen cheese on toast before?
Never just a simple butter and cheese-type sandwich. Is this common in US homes? Another trope is people only eating a sandwich for lunch. I can't imagine how hungry you must be after such a meal! I know our Norwegian neighbours do this as well, but they're kinda crazy soooooo...
Do you mean like a grilled cheese sandwich? Other than that cheese with butter alone sounds pretty gross no meat, lettuce something other than butter.

Here is a pretty normal breakfast:
That's at-best an open-faced sandwich. Honestly, I'd just call it bread and toppings.
A real sandwich has bread on both sides containing all the toppings inside.
Also, here's the first definition for Sandwich on Dictionary.com:
Yes. This is the only sandwich that we know how to make.
Dagwood knows where it's at.
If you have the toppings, and they all mesh well together, why not put them on there?
don't bother. he's a "cheese snob" He deserves to eat his food from the middle ages.

What, so the cooking method determines the sandwichness of the thing now?
No, it's either full sandwich or no sandwich. Chicken, cheese, bacon, sauce.

Sometimes I make sandwiches with ham, pickles, cheese, lettuce, and mayo for lunch. I don't know if that qualifies as big and multi-topping, but it's not unusual.
It does take a bit more work than standard lunches, I guess. 10-15 minutes to make the sandwich because I cut up the meat and cheese so that there isn't a lot of overhanging toppings and toast the bread.
You shouldn't be having more than around 800 calories for lunch, anyway. Bread and cheese has a lot of calories, and if you include some raw vegetables or a bag of chips or something on the side, that'll hit 800 easily.

You guys keep forgetting to complete your sandwich.
Sandwiches in America are meals, you don't normally eat them with other things.

To Americans that isn't a sandwich at all. We might consider that an open-faced sandwich I guess, aka a sandwich that's missing the top piece of bread.
This is a fucking sandwich a ( a reuben):

Seems a very American thing to do. A sandwich in my house is a single slice of ham, maybe with a squirt of salad cream, and butter the bread.

I don't have a sandwich for breakfast. If I have toast it's as a side to bacon, eggs and potatoes.
