Reading this made me gain a greater respect and understanding of the way legal documents are phrased. Humans are both ingenious and disingenuous creatures... Though there's something that bothers me. While I agree with the hotdog and taco... why is a hamburger not considered a sandwich? And why, either, was the pizza stack not considered a sandwich? Because as it stands, I literally can't find why a hamburger isn't a sandwich, either - but then again, I'd probably need to apply the method to the burger to define what is and isn't a hamburger to get that answer, wouldn't I.... As for the pizza stack? By that definition, most submarine sandwiches (like Subway's 12 inch sandwich) aren't sandwiches until they're cut in half, thirds or quarters. Though admittedly, off the top of my head, a pizza had it's ingredients cooked onto it... GAH SEE WHAT YOU DONE YOU MADE ME THINK (In all honesty though, excellent read - I loved it)
But a bun is still bread. By that definition, it ALSO excludes sub sandwiches (which are made on a single baguette, not two slices of bread). And I know Wikipedia does, which makes it even wierder that the author of the article says it wasn't.
That's what I meant - I agreed with the decision of caling tacos and hotdogs not-sandwiches.
