    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

        I know, lol. Seriously how many well-known sandwiches have “cheese” or “melt” right in their name?!

        But, dare I say, does that not make a ravioli a sandwich? A poptart? Mayhaps even … Lasagna?

        Ah, you proclaim! But those are cooked further!

        But so too is a grilled cheese! And a patty melt!

        Where will the madness end?
