And cake. Cake is clearly a sandwich.

One of the great secrets of my paternal cultural heritage has already hit FB and so I might as well say it here.

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

When I was just a little girl, back in the infantry, we would occasionally get hot food brought out to us.  It was kind of a sick joke, because there was never TIME to go through a chow line, eat your food, whatever.

So what we'd do is make a commando sammich.

2 slices of bread.
Put lasagna or whatever the main meal was on the bread.
Put side on top of main meal.
Put salad on top of side.
Put desert on top of salad.
Put other slice of bread on top.
Smash down.
Eat.
Flip the bird at the outraged cooks whinging about how you insulted their culinary skills in such a manner.
Go back to walking in circles in a swamp.

Pretty sure cake is a kind of pie.

Ergo, sandwiches are pies.

Pie requires a crust. Cake lacks a crust, and is typically smeared with frosting. Ergo, cake is a sandwich.

I decided to end the great pie/cake debate by defining it away.

A pie is a cake is a burger is a sandwich is...something.  Problem solved.

Apart from what colour the picture of it is.

Sandwiches are an illusion. Except for tuna melts. I think we all know why.

Even so, pie is still superior to cake.

You, good sir, are a slice of ham between two bits of plastic cheese.

Prelate Diogenes Shandor

I'd define a typical sandwich as a stack of food items - and/or items which a sufficiently drunk person might reasonably try to ingest (but no others) - shaped either like a tall or wide prism and starting with a slice of bread on the bottom and ending with a slice of bread on top or shaped like a long cylinder with a piece of (usually partly cut) bread on bottom and fillings on top. Rarely there may be non-standard combinations of these attributes, such as the hamburger, which is a wide cylinder with either two terminal pieces of bread or occasionally one partly sliced piece of bread or the open faced club, which is a wide or tall prism with only one piece of bread. The bread must in most cases be leavened. It should be reasonably be able to stay together if set down; either on it's own or with the aid of non-poisonous structural support items. Any sauces added should not be of such quality and quantity to disintegrate the bread without additional stimulus. Long cylindrical sandwiches may face additional restrictions.

This definition still suffers from a Loki's Wager issue in regards to deviation from proper shape but otherwise seems pretty solid to me
