I don't necessarily mean specific recipes, I mean concepts. A western sandwich is bread, (vegan) meat or cheese, sauce, tomato, something pickled, some salad, mostly, all layered and/or thinly sliced. Cross out maybe some of them for simplicity, like the mayo tomato or the british cheese and cucumber.

A döner kebap is sort of layered but everything but the protein layer is more of a mix up and not like tomato followed by onion or whatever.

A Banh Mi is sort of western of course, but it does a twist. The layers are there-ish, but they don't matter so much. Sort of a hybrid between something like a kebap and a pita if you catch my drift.

What other sandwiches are there, conceptually?

I guess a samosa is kind of a sandwich.

From my general region... the open-faced sandwich!

Look up "horseshoe" and despair.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

the open faced sandwich is just western concept but that horseshoe bullshit qualifies. what if I just fuck up a sandwich entirely?

I used to do a temporal sandwich where I'd eat a slice of bread, other stuff, and then another slice of bread. I can't seem to place what the middle was. It may have been goldfish crackers.

Onigiri, assuming it's stuffed with something. Comes with its own edible wrapper and everything.

I'm currently eating them on long bike rides to hit my carbs and it's working pretty well.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, I'm pretty sure that's a jelly donut. I saw it in a documentary once.

Jibarito is Western style but uses a plantain instead of bread

Edit: ok I see what you're looking for now. I'm sorry you're limited to three spatial dimensions

Tortas, imagine a burrito in sandwich form.

Paninis are the grilled cheese’s classy older sibling. But some balsamic-portobello mushrooms, tomatoes, basil and a vegan cheese in a sandwich with ciabatta bread, grill it and serve.

I want to try a vegan croque monsieur recipe (ham and cheese but france-cool), but I need to find a good recipe.

The best sandwich is a open face, couple of soft corn tortillas, some grilled meat or meat substitute that has been marinated in some lovely spices, perhaps a bit of crumbly queso fresco, some fresh cilantro, raw white onion, some spice sauce, and a touch of freshly squeezed lime juice.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

that's a western concept sandwich

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

a stack of pancakes or waffles is a sandwich that many are too dainty and proper to eat with their hands.

when you grab more than one French fry, that's a sandwich. and the condiment you dip it in is like the au jus.

lasagna is an oven baked sandwich. same with multi layer bean dip.

conceptually, a sandwich is a edible delivery system for helping you eat with your hands. a bread bowl is a sandwich.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

a lasagna is not a sandwich because it does not have the carbohydrate on the outside to grab and help eat but otherwise yes, we're getting somewhere here. How do I edibly glue them fries together for that fry-bread sandwich?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

the answer to this and all spiritual/existential questions is the same:

mayonnaise.

all of them are, yes. But I need to go deeper. What is beyond the alignment chart?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

that's still just a wrap

"Open faced" sandwiches. Avocado toast is a sandwich.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

that's just a convertible sandwich, western style

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The comically large sandwiches like Shaggy eats on Scooby Doo.

A burger is a sandwich.

A meatball sub however is not a sandwich.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

More R&D is needed for paella-sized sandwiches that are wide but still short-enough to actually bite into.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

this gets the idea

How do you figure?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

It's an edible sluice for melted cheese, sauce and beef orbs.

A taco is not a sluice, though, because it explodes when you bit into it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

but then is a kebap not a sandwich?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Ah, a curveball. You see, a kebab is a sandwich because the contents don't slosh when you tilt it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Depends on where the kebab is on the wet-dry spectrum I suppose

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

yeah they do what are you on about

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Kebabs are my absolute favorite food, and the wettest ones I've ever had still didn't slosh. Maybe my sample selection isn't broad enough, but based on what I've had, still a sandwich.

RIP Star Kebap on Via Faenza, Firenze, Italy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Did you try sloshing them within the aluminum foil packaging or without? Cause I feel like you could easily do the former with a meatball sub and be fine. They wrap them fuckers tight

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

With, but since it's meant to be eaten in the foil specifically as a structural reinforcement, unlike a meatball sub, it's still a sandwich that should be judged based on its absence of sloshability.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It is not, what the fuck. You can get a kebap on a plate with zero foil and it holds up well

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

that's not a kebap that's a durüm

On the May 16, 2006 episode, Ze challenged his viewers to create an "Earth Sandwich." The goal was to place two pieces of bread on the ground at points directly opposite each other on the globe, creating a giant sandwich between the two pieces of bread.[9] The task was completed by brothers Duncan and Jon Rawlinson in Spain and Morgan in New Zealand.

You mean like that ?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

I ain't galactus, the entire earth is not edible to me. I mean something like the grilled threese but optimally way more edible

I'm looking for what I cannot conceive. Does roasted aubergine as bread fuck? Is there some sort of concept where it's all pickles in bread and you eat it paired with something else? I'm looking to expand my horizon here

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Idk about replacing bread, but it can certainly substitute for lasagna noodles when thinly sliced.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If you can wait a few more years you can get it toasted

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

true but please do not say this
