I am shroedinger's sandwich so you might kill me

i know that's a risk you're willing to take!

I consider a hot dog to be a hot dog & a burrito to be a burrito - categories all to their selves.

 

[robox]

What about:

Ice cream sandwich: even has sandwich in the name
Pancakes/waffles: if open faced sandwich applies then this too
Cakes: there's often filling between layers of baked flour product


But why apply sales tax to only sandwiches? Is rice or soup exempt??

 

[Wood Man]

If a burrito is a sandwich then some hamburgers can be called meatloaf with buns.

 

[Goldboy]

I don't consider either of those to be sandwiches.

 

[Apt101]

Hotdogs, sure. Burritos - especially proper Mexican burritos and not the Americanized ones - not at all. That would be like calling an eggroll a sandwich.

 

[Benzychenz]

Neither are sandwiches.

But I also disagree with the american classification that burgers are a type of sandwich.
It's gotta be two pieces of sliced bread to classify.

 

[Chainsawkitten]

I don't see why not all food items should be the same in terms of taxation. Like, why is a sandwich and a salad different tax-wise?

Like, I get you need to classify what a soda is if you want a soda tax because you want to discourage unhealthy beverages. But is there a sandwich tax meant to discourage sandwiches? Or a tax exemption meant to encourage sandwiches?

Maybe. Some kind of conflict of interest somewhere.

Pizza is an open face sandwich?

Would taco salad be a sandwich?

Quesadillas are just grilled cheese sandwiches.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

A sub is a sandwich innit? Cuz if you take out the hot dog and put meatballs innit you got a meatball sub so a hot dog is a hot dog sub sandwich.

 

[nded]

Hot dog - No
Burrito - No
Burger - Hell no

I don't see how a hamburger isn't a sandwich.

Yes, they're "submarine sandwiches". A long sandwich, basically.

Pretty sure the French just call them sandwiches. Baguettes and all.

 

[d00d3n]

If it doesn't look like this it ain't a sandwich.

Lol, yes.

 

[Smellycat]

is the ham and cheese on a pita.jpg still banned?
