Bread often has stuff baked into it, so what's the difference between a loaf of bread with cheese or nuts baked into it vs. a loaf with chicken, cheese, and marina sauce baked into it.
A calzone is a wrap/burrito. Unless uncrustables are in play and are recognized as their own distinct category. In which case a calzone is an uncrustable or vice versa
Pastries are an umbrella category of baked goods that are usually but not always sweet. The composition of the dough and preparation techniques are different and distinct from the sandwich debate. Though I guess you could make the case for empanadas. Or that calzones are large Italian empanadas and uncrustables are also a type of empanada. Hmmm 🤔
So sandwich is the parent category, and hot dogs are a type of sandwich? Are burgers, too?
Oh no I accidentally started researching, there is an actual British Sandwich Association that defines sandwich as "any form of bread with a filling, generally assembled cold". The USDA, however, has different definitions for open and closed sandwiches and it depends on the percentage amounts of bread and meat... I guess if you put cheese on your bread it's not a sandwich at all!
Heresy!
I demand the BSA's definition to be accepted and adopted everywhere!
"if you put cheese on your bread its not a sandwich at all!" - this is unbeliveable and hilarious
