Things like this seem silly but there's likely laws or protection that use sandwiches in their wording.

Defining things you want them to apply to as sandwiches is easier than changing the law.

This makes some sense as all foods are salads; sandwiches are untossed salads, tacos are untossed taco salads.

Finally, some legislation from the middle of the country that makes sense.

But also:

Mexican style sandwiches

That's what a Torta is!

Preposterous. Burritos are calzone.

Reminder that legality is not based on morality.

I TOLD YOU! I TOLD YOU ALL!!! EVERYONE LAUGHED WHEN I SAID A HOT DOG ON A BUN IS A SANDWICH WELL WHO'S LAUGHING NOW??

Good enough for New York, good enough for Indiana

• 1 side is toast
• 2 sides is a sandwich
• 3 sides is a taco

Sandwich: 🥪 (two disconnected slices of bread cut from a larger loaf 🍞)

Wrap: 🌯 (one continuous flat bread)

Burger: 🍔 (a halved bun, therefore it's also Chicken Burger, not Chicken Sandwich)

Taco (🌮) feels like belonging broadly in the wrap category being based on flat bread.

This tuling was passed due to a contract obligation to open a sandwich store. These cases are ueually related to regulations. Kind of like when an Irish court ruled that Subway subs are cakes, so higher VAT and sugar tax would apply to them. (In all fairness, the sugar content in the Subway "bread" is several times higher than the max allowed for bread.)

The judge also noted that, despite his ruling, he did not consider the plan commission’s actions to be improper, leaving the door open for an appeal

Appeal that shit immediately. Start a Gofundme. This injustice cannot stand.

On whose authority??

We already have the Cube Rule of Food Identification Unifying Theory. Tacos are Tacos. Burritos are Wraps. These guys need to get with the program. We base our food taxonomy on the specific arrangement of carbohydrates like civilized people.

HOT TACO SANDWICHES!

Indiana is fuckin stupid

Most participants in this debate are far too preoccupied with the shape or structure of the sandwich, to the point of neglecting what a sandwich is all about. It's simple. A sandwich is when you use bread as a handheld base for prepared foods that would otherwise be too messy to eat with your fingers. A tortilla is a flat bread, ergo handheld burritos and soft tacos are sandwiches.

"Then why isn't pizza an open-faced sandwich?" Because pizza has a crust, not bread. When you take raw dough and bake it along with its toppings or fillings, it may be a pie or a pastry or a pizza or a casserole or some other category I don't care to quibble over. It's not a sandwich.

Obviously there are many sub-categories of sandwiches. A dish isn't necessarily excluded from being a sandwich just because it's also another type of food.

Mexican American sandwich please! Yes with Cesar's salad and beans and rice.

Finally vindication for what I have argued for years.

Now, if only some brave state will legally define a pizza as a type of sandwich the damn sandwich conservatives can have their comeuppance.

KANGAROO COURT!

Does anybody know what the orange-ish sauce in the picture is?

He's wrong!
