i've been working 8 hours a day 5 days a week for the past 7 years at a job where at the very least i'm making sandwich's for a good 2 hours straight a day.

This had led me to the very insightful conclusion that sometimes sandwich's have mustard on them.

No....it isn't different perspectives. As Eras3r pointed out, a sandwich is any food item made with 2 or more pieces of leavened bread with 1 or more layers of filling. :) A hamburger is clearly a sandwich.

again, different perspectives. just because someone on BL said so, does not make it so.

why are they separated from "sandwiches" on most menus? :)
 
^So what if you put sandwhich stuff on a bun, or a hamburger patty on bread, are those sandwhiches or burgers?

Now I'm all curious about the difference.
 
>>Really, comparing mayo to mustard is comparing apples and oranges.>>

Oranges are vastly superior for all applications excepting cider.

ebola
 
ebola?-- Either that was incredibly profound, or completely inane. Either way, +1 :)

I agree on the apples < oranges bit, although I do use apple juice for recovery shakes since they're pretty much just sugar water. Pears on the other hand, are the fruit of the gods. Especially ice cold, straight from the fridge, juicy and just slightly sweet, on a hot summer's day. Mmmm.

Man, I love food.

i've never in my life called a burger a sandwich, nor heard anyone ever refer to one as such. i can't explain why, the reasoning you guys are using fits logically i suppose, but i cannot bring myself to call a burger a sandwich. :\
 
^I'm not disagreeing with you, I've actually never called a burger a sandwhich either, I was honestly asking was the difference was though, because I've never thought of it, and the reasons they gave for it to be called a sandwhich does sound logical

This thread is making me drive to rosie's chill house at 10:00 in the morning to get 2 hot links with onion and LOTS of mustard.....



Dam you Bluelight you make me want to do good drugs and eat good food... whats wrong with you people......
 
You can look at the burger/sandwich paradox in this manner, as I've come to a conclusion on the matter.

A burger is a very specific type of sandwich which has developed so far on its own merit that it almost breaks free of the category. You have names for different types of sandwich's such as the club or rueben, however you'd rarely hear someone call for a "burger sandwich." Much like kleenex is a brand name for tissue paper, but people don't say "would you hand me a kleenex tissue paper."

if they do you need to call the police.

Just because it's called a hamburger or burger doesn't mean it can't also be a sandwich. ;)

Mmmmm...open faced sand wedge...
 
i still think the burger lies in the category of a sammich.

however to throw a twist in there. when its time to flip meat on the grill you'd say "hey bud, its probably about time to flip those burgers" theres no bread on the grill surrounding those items, yet being that a burger is a sandwich, requiring at the very least one piece of bread (open face), you shouldn't really say that. so no one ever say that again please because this is not correct and you could be thought of as a fool. by pilgrims, the inventors of the present day burger king franchise.
