Doctrine radical, structure neutral. "A sandwich is any food in contact with any bread product"

Also worth noting that under this rationale:

Cannibals see people as food
You are a people, and therefore food (terms and conditions apply)
When you eat bread, it is in contact with you
When you eat a sandwich, you become a sandwich

Your username doesn't really check out, it should be conditional sandwich

Is cereal a bowl of milk sandwiches?

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Yes, next question

So a salad served with croutons is a sandwhich?

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, and so is a clam chowder bread bowl

[–] Chuymatt@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Gawd, that sounds good right now…

Is a loaf of bread a bread sandwich then?

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Structure radical, doctrine neutral: a sandwich is, at a minimum, bread.

E.g. A baguette is a sandwich

So my can of breadcrumbs is full of sandwiches.

The judge didn't stutter. According to Indiana, yes.

Preposterous. Sandwiches are sandwiches, tacos are tacos, and burritos are calzone.

Hot buttered toast is now a butter sandwich. I hate it

Fish, bugs, and Trees, man. It's all fish, bugs, and trees.
