Sandwich Argument

[Q. G. Pennyworth]

Is the sandwich blue or not?

You can make a blue sandwich if you want, as long as it meets the other criteria.

Please see your English language thread, you Goddamn lunch tyrant.

I'm not sure if "hand held" really works as a criteria, since it's a contextual property rather than inherent property of a sandwich. A burrito isn't reay a sandwich but can be hand held, and if you're weird you could eat a sandwich with fork and knife.

A burrito isn't a sandwich because it isn't two matching things with at least one different thing in the middle. It's one thing wrapped around at least one other thing.

Hand held I think can be a property of a thing. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/handheld

I'm a tyrant of lots of things.

This kind of epistemic terrorism is what's keeping America from being great again, you know. I won't stand for it.

Me neither.  We should probably sit down.

One thing I despise about sandwiches is how quickly we lose all the good ones.  Sometimes it seems like the only real sandwiches left are bad, or at least have something wrong with them.  I mean that, by definition, a good sandwich is one that once was itself only by becoming part of something else, like my belly.  So, all extant sandwitches can be identified by their ego problems and lack of enthusiasm to fulfill their destiny.  Bad sandwitches!

So would this make a stuffed pork chop a form of burrito?

It did. Definitely never heard it before.

Your humming sounds an awful lot like a guitar intro.
I'll stop being an ass now.

I did, but when I posted it on Facebook everyone said it was grey

In my personal, internal definition of sandwich, a sandwich is one or more pieces of leavened, sliced bread, used as a vehicle for other items of food that are cooked or prepared separately from the bread but meant to be eaten in the same bite with the bread once placed upon it in the construction of a sandwich.

I am completely willing to be flexible on this, though, resulting in my conclusion that a  taco is, indeed, potentially a kind of sandwich, as is a burrito.

There is a great deal of gray area in sandwiches. A hot brown, for example. Is it a sandwich? I am inclined to think it is more a type of hot salad.
