Is Sandwich, Is Not Sandwich.

We've had some interesting comments in our is sandwich is not sandwich debate lately.

Firstly, I actually agree with treywrage on his earlier point. I do hold my assertion that he AND his philosophy degree are adorable though. (See "crude taxonomy" on the comments)

Anyhow, I tend to be a loose constructionist when it comes to sandwich categorization.

I do have some notable exceptions to this though.

This area has been well tread, but, those bullshit-ornamental-sandwich-animal-face-whatevers, which have been talked to death by pat, will not, nor will they ever, earn the title of sandwich by me.

Pat can call me a goddamn fascist and other names, but in the end, he'll be eating the shitty-sandwiches.

Like many of you, I am somewhat tenuous in adding wraps, such as pita pockets, to the sandwich family, but there's often good sandwich intent there.

We know for sure a burrito is most definitely not a sandwich. There's firm judicial precedent.

There are many pita pockets, however, that are more like sandwiches than burritos, except for their use of unleavened bread.

It's a difficult question, my friends, and I'd be willing to a lot of sandwiches and wraps to find out.

A burger is definately sandwich. No argument there.

Unless it's a boca burger. Then it's a doorstop.

Or maybe a paperweight.

A bookend?

mmm breakfast sliders

I took logic in college, and it helped me figure out the following thing when ordering food the other day.

I was in San Francisco, the night before having seen the Comedians of Comedy with Jessica. We went to a the Nob Hill Grill, a place I knew to be delicious, despite Roome's 3rd law of eating at restaurants, which states never dine at a place of business with a rhyme in it's name. Anyhow, before ordering, I knew two things:

a.) sandwiches are delicious
b.) breakfast can be delicious

As you can see, I had much to mull over. The menu contained many delicious items, two of which were BOTH breakfast AND sandwiches. One was an Eggs Benedict, the other, a special, were Breakfast Sliders.

Okay, this post has gone on too long. I just deleted three paragraphs that below this one, which were garbageyer than the pervious, so I'll wrap it up, in non-sentences.

sliders, wonderful.
eggs, perfectly cooked, sausage spicy, salty, great.
brioche bread, tasty.
home fries, excellent.

I do not have to tell you what a delicious and decadent treat a Lobster Roll is, but this, this is just offensive to lobsters and to rolls.

Thank you, Internet.

Grilled Cheese and Disco Fries

As mentioned previously, grilled cheese sandwiches are delicious, especially late at night, and even more especially after the imbibing of certain beverages.

The grilled cheese pictured above was purchased one recent night at Daisy's Diner, the 24 hour eatery closest to my residence. It was constructed of swiss cheese and wheat bread, and tastefully accompanied by one pickle spear and a plastic cup of slaw.

This particular night, however, called for something more. Disco Fries, a local delicacy constructed of french fries, melted american cheese, and brown gravy.

Don't fight it.

The floor is open for debate.

WHAT SAY THE MASSES?!!>??

Pulled Produce Sandwich

No soup at work the other day, which led to the use of slightly squishy cucumber, clover sprouts shipped without a lid, cayenne spiked hummus, and soon to be past the sell by date whole wheat pita.

This is the home version.
