But why would you want to change to the wrong side? That's the confusing part.

Don't let them get you down, Rick. Remember this is a guy who turned his back on his people for some bacon.

Re the original question. A sandwich is two separate pieces of bread with a filling. Furthermore, one is on top of the other.
Britain invented them, so I know what I'm talking about.

What about a bacon butty in a bap that isn't completely sliced through? Right. On your bike.

Tommy - can you figure out how much bandwidth and disk this thread used? I'll send you jbutler's address and you can bill him for this utterly useless and frivolous consumption of valuable computing resources.

That could only legally be sold as "bacon within a housing of bread which consists of two joined elements."

Anyway the real question here is this:
Is this a sandwich, or half a sandwich?

Since someone brought this up... yeah, for the sandwich purist, the definition is definitely slices of meat between slices of bread.
It's worth noting that the guy who came up with this - one Earl of Sandwich - ordered his servants to bring him slices of meat between slices of bread, because he was hungry, but he didn't want to get his fingers dirty... because he was busy gambling and couldn't take time to stop and eat.
Edit: it was John Mantagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich.
just found this thread and wasted 15 minutes of my life reading it.
I am so freakin hungry,
If that double down KFC dawg is real.... holy mother of all beer food.!!
And...... you window lickers have no idea how relevant this conversation is to poker....

No, that didn't come around until 1921.
Wonder may have been the first bread to be sold pre-sliced, but slicing bread was not new.
Also, it occurs to me that since Lord Sandwich's purpose in having the meat between two slices of bread was to allow him to hold it at the card table without getting his fingers greasy, and since the hot dog bun servers that same purpose, then it's OK to call a hot dog a sandwich as long as it's eaten while playing poker.
And .... being the only Englishman here (before any others show up )...
I here by declare.....A sandwich is a meal comprised of food held between 2 pieces of bread or other edible product. (whether cut through or not )

I had no idea. You're going to be much less intimidating in the Stars games now that I'm picturing this.

I submit that there are certain foods or combinations of food that, while they *could* be encompassed bya broad definition of sandwich, have become so distinctive on their own that they're now self-exclusionary; e.g., a hamburger isn't a sandwich *because* it's a hamburger. You can get chicken in a bun at a burger place and have it be called a "spicy chicken sandwich" or some such thing, but they don't call it a hamburger because it's not - it's a chicken sandwich. Nor do they call a hamburger a beef sandwich because it's not - it's a hamburger, in a category all its own. Maybe a hamburger was a "hamburger sandwich" before, but it ain't any more. It has its own distinctive place in the taxonomy of food. I would argue that a hot dog is similarly self-exclusionary, having carved out its own place in the greater food taxonomy.
Similarly, I'd argue that a banana split is *not* an ice cream sundae. A banana split is its own thing, a hamburger is its own thing, and a hot dog is its own thing.

If I stack a slice of pizza upside down on another slice, is that a sandwich?
