No, a sandwich is made from slices of bread.

Is this not a piece of bread that was sliced in half?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

doesn't make it slices

What about an Ice Cream Sandwich? No bread, but sandwich is in the name.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cube rule says starch is on the outside, so it's a sandwich.

IF you refuse to recognize the cookie as a starch, then an ice cream sandwich is a salad.

Salad, mah fav

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

thus no sandwich

What would you call a baguette sliced horizontally and stuffed with good things?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Are you suggesting that baguette is not bread?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's definitely not slices of bread.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Maybe it's not pre-sliced industrial factory produced pseudo-bread. Assuming that's what you mean.

But as you described it, it's definitely slices of bread.

if slicing is the correct term for cutting something in half, then slicing something does not necessarily give you slices

The issue is that you guys ~~gave~~ have a very restrictive definition of bread that's very US centric.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I didn't give any definition of bread. The pictured bagel and also a cut-open baguette are bread, but neither of those are slices of bread, but thats what makes a sandwich.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Mmm, fair point. I was considering bread as a singular object and not a category.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

A French Sub, so L'Englouti.
