Is the sandwich blue or not?

Lasagna is a sammish!

Lasagna is not hand held.


You, my dear, have obviously never been stoned out of your gourd at 3am.

Obviously not. Lasagna can be a 3am stoned sammich, but only if it's held in the hand.

Yes, laugh laugh laugh, but Enrico had unique experience with a Sand Witch when he was young, was no laugh matter.
Did someone say gorgeous?

Neither is a "hot" sandwich.

See now this is more a matter of personal endurance.

Which brings up a fine point. If a person cannot hold the sandwich for some reason has it ceased to be a sandwich for them? Like if you have no arms, as an extreme illustration, do sandwiches cease to be?

Hot sandwiches aren't literally hot, they're covered in gravy.
Though the gravy itself is usually hot.

No, I got you Mr. President. Had a few hot beef 'n gravy in my time. Just because it's messy is no reason not to pick it up at some point. I usually have fries and improvise a poutien with the remaining gravy.

If you can't eat it as a sandwich, it's not a sandwich. So, if you have to put a pastrami and rye in a blender and drink it as a shake, it is not a sandwich anymore.

I wonder where the line is for people with very handy feet, though.

See NOW were talking enlightenment! That would be the "kung-fu" Way of making sandwiches real.

Pretty soon mind-machine interfacing and prosthetic advancement could make sandwiches real for almost anyone with a functioning brain and nervous system, without all the stretching and balance training.

I always thought sandwich was an action and we called the food sandwiches that because they showed the action.

Cainad (dec.)

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.
