Sandwich is [Bread product][Filling][Bread product]

It can be semi-wrapped, like you got one slice of bread and folded it over the filling. At most one side can be closed, any more and you're veering into calzone territory.

*Diogenes bursts into the scene, holding what is clearly a calzone sliced on one side and filled with raw tomato, lettuce, fried bacon and boiled eggs*

"Behold, a sandwich!"

Nope, that's a semi-calzone. Only one side is opened, like I said at most one side can be closed.

And like I mentioned last time I was making rulings on this, a pizza folded in half is technically a weird tomato-cheese sandwich.

Also anything edible* can be put into a sandwich, nobody said the sandwich has to be good.

*As in made out of stuff that is actually edible with no regard as to whether or not it's good for you

And Hector, you take that fucking back. Crisp sandwiches are one of those bizarre low-dining foods that you expect to be shit but somehow aren't.

I just said I like eating brown sauce sandwiches, I clearly have no space to judge other people for their sandwich decisions.

Ahahahahaha what hobo mitraillette is that?! And you get to act autoritative on sandwiches? To think I gave an islander cred in culinary matters I must be beyond naive.

Why in the world would you expect salty potatoes between bread to be shit? It's carb-y as hell but there's very little about it you'd expect to be anything but tasty. Basically in the same space as chucking potato chips into mac and cheese or mashed potatoes or whatever.

It's definitely something I've noticed that people just get kinda'... stuck, I guess? When it comes to common food prep methods, ala potato chips or whatever. For whatever reason it doesn't occur to folks that you can actually use the things as an ingredient, and that in many cases it's going to turn out just fine.

Ice cream makes for a perfectly okay dipping sauce, for chips, meat, whatever. So on and so forth. Throw off the shackles of cultural culinary normality, cast down the hegemons of standardized taste, etc., etc. Adding cinnamon makes for tasty corn dogs. You can, in fact, put a diced pizza into a bowl of mac and cheese and it will taste amazing.

What bread could yield a pleasant texture with chips, its gonna first stick on the chips and then be all dry in your mouth once they decide they do want to mix. Even if the taste was ok I would feel depressed... A bit like when they say a beer is like two sandwiches, and someone thought the logical conclusion of that was that non alcoholic beer is a valid protein shake substitute. They might have the energy to get through the day, but if I had to go through that, I might see my will to pass the day fade.

You can butter the bread dragdeler :p

I’ve always been a Warburton’s man, they’ve got nice white bread.

Bread might be different where you are though, bread in the US is awfully sweet (and tiny!) compared to British brands.

[dragdeler]

But pistolets are depression fuel too? (damn our food is kinda martial)

And if you have butter just do it like a normal person... Butter on a popsicle stick, sit on the bread, and snort the chips (^^ sry it's late over here)

[Frumple]

No, no, it's not the chips you snort, it's the seasoning! (Mild warning, what sounds like some vulgarity near the end)

... though butter on a popsicle stick is if you're frying it. Probably wouldn't hold together too well in most other forms. Never actually tried it, though. Been cooking more with butter lately but I'm not really super fond of it in most circumstances, especially on its own.

Seriously though, just. Normal stateside sandwich bread does fine? Prefer wheat but whatever works. It doesn't stick bad or whatever, and unless you got regular dryness issues or particularly dry bread it's not really a problem there, either. It's not amazing or anything -- if you're doing chips in sandwiches you're much better off just adding them to a more normal one, layer stuck into a turkey sandwich or something is legitimately good -- but it's pretty a'ight.

My dad likes a chip sandwich from time to time. Not an unusual thing here in Scotland, but not something I've ever seen the appeal in myself.

Fish & Chips style chips to be clear, big, usually slightly soggy fries, heavily salted and eaten between two pieces of bread, usually with one slice being buttered.

A few of the people I went to school with also ate crisp sandwiches.

There's a lot of dishes in Scotland and Northern England that are basically aimed at people who are drunk and on their way home from the pub at three in the morning after a week of hard labour in a factory, shipyard or mine. Lots of starch, lots of grease. Good for a cold, soggy day. The jobs are mostly gone, but the food remains a cultural staple. Might be something to do with the generations of alcoholism and depression making low effort comfort food stick around really well.

I've always thought crisp sandwiches were a good idea, I mean why eat crisps while also eating a sandwich when you could save time by eating both at the same time.

I don't care what you call it, give it to me.

Do the bread products have to be the same?

No. Standard sliced bread on one side and waffle on the other still counts. Waffle on one side and pancake on the other also counts and is delicious.

Waffle and pancake is not food bread it is sweet bread and thus cannot make up sandwiches or food pies, only cake and dessert pies! How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man??

I for one love a bit of crisp fried tortilla in my soft tortilla roll

[Egan_BW]

I don't really care for chips/crisps so I'd prefer to keep that texture out of my sandwich and on the side at most. But fries/chips are tastier.

[scriver]

Crisps are just flat chips

I'd argue waffles and pancakes are made from batter, not dough, so therefore aren't bready enough.
