@DVDBZN@oppodude taco came first, ergo, a submarine “sandwich” is truly a taco. If there are two pieces of cooked dough around the filling, it is a sandwich, unless the pieces were linked all the way around the edge to lock in the filling, which is a calzone. If their is one piece, folded around the filling, it is a taco. If it is one piece, slit on one side and stuffed, that is a gyro. It it is one piece with toppings, that is a pizza.

So, there is a Venn diagram between tacos and sandwiches where a submarine sandwich is in the overlap?
Does that also mean an open-faced sandwich is a pizza, or pizzas are open faced sandwiches?
@DVDBZN@oppodude so, if we did the Venn diagram solution, you could argue the open face sandwich falls at the intersection of pizza and sandwich. And Uncrustables would be calzone/sandwich.
Shared the convo with someone else, and this was their response. Care to counter?
I’m 100% in the camp of a pizza being an open faced sandwich. In fact a stuffed crust pizza is just a weird version of a Croque Madame which is a sandwich with an egg and cheese melted on top of the sandwich.
If you take a sandwich and batter and deep fry it, it doesn’t become a calzone, it’s a deep friend sandwich which means a sandwich can be “closed” and still a sandwich, such as a Monte Cristo Sandwich which is universally called a sandwich. So a clazone is just a closed sandwich, not a new thing.
If you aren’t hungry enough for a full sandwich, you use one slice of bread and make a “fold over sandwich” which is the same thing as a hotdog / taco.
By person 2’s definition of a gyro, a sub sandwich would be a gyro because you take a long loaf of bread and slit one side and stuff it, and that’s just not right. A sub is absolutely a sandwich. Person 2 is very confused.
Also the idea that a sub sandwich would be a different thing depending on whether or not you cut the top completely of or left it hinged is a feeble definition for food classification. If you have a stale hotdog bun that splits when you put the hotdog in, you aren’t suddenly eating a sandwich that was a taco 2 seconds ago

BLT
Grilled cheese
And of course hot dog
@oppodude hot dogs are not sandwiches. They’re tacos.
@oppodude @simplersimon
Tacos are submarine sandwiches. Your point is invalid.

Roast beef and bacon. Bonus points for pepperjack cheese and spicy brown mustard. Negative one million points for mayo.
I don’t have one favourite. I love lots of sandwiches.
Falafel wrapped in pickles, obv.
The Dagwood
Reuben.
Tuna melt is up there for me, too. But it’s hard to beat the old pbj.
Grilled cheese with tomato, but PB&J is a close second.
It’s a bacon, tomato, peanut butter, grilled cheese.
