I'm a sucker for pastry based hors d'oeuvres.  Put those in front of me and nobody else is eating!

The best sandwich is the one that I eat at the top of a mountain after a long hike.

It needs flat bread on a horizontal axis, with filling in between.

 

I'm hungry now.

I'm pretty sure as far as I'm willing to go is saying a hotdog is a kind of sandwich. Tacos are clearly their own food group, same with burritos. 

 

Poptarts are in the candy food group.

 

Anyway, a perfect sandwich has meat, bread, and sometimes other things. Bacon goes a long way towards making it amazeballs. So does being warm. 

 

I'm not super picky, as long as it doesn't have mayo on it.

A sandwich involves an edible vehicle with which to bring tasty foods to my mouth. The tasty foods must be tastier than the vehicle, this is a hardline requirement. Therefore, good bread requires some really good tasty foods (leftover roast chicken torn off in chunks, avocado slices, tomato, bacon, freshly sliced med/sharp cheddar, garlic hummus)

 

However, my sandwiches tend toward the structurally pure side of things simply because sliced bread comes in these bland loaves at the grocery store. It makes for an excellent vehicle and its inherent blandness allows for mediocre sandwiches thrown together in a hurry (generic lunchmeat, slice of 'cheese', squiggle of ranch dressing)

 

So I suppose I might be a sandwich anarchist masquerading as a true neutral. However, a pop-tart is not a sandwich because none of that is tasty. A pop-tart is desert survival food. And it's a pocket pie, which is a whole different thing than a sandwich.

What if you smeared chocolate on two poptarts, then put apple slices on, then put the poptarts together. Is that a dessert sammich?

Needs peanut butter. But yes, that might be a strange sammich-pie-dessert-drunken dare hybrid.

That alignment chart was funny. I wonder if there is a Star Wars version.

 

Recently, I have been making PBJ sandwiches inside of Hot Dog buns. (Less area covered in PB&J results in less calories...in theory.)  I have also been putting beef hot dog franks** inside of small hoagie roll buns (which are meant for sandwiches) because they are roomy and the relish and mustard are less likely to leak out.

For reasons poorly understood, I am not.

Not my picture.. ^ ..but I have plates identical to that one.

I cook smoked sausauges in the microwave, which are pretty similar so maybe this will work.

Take a fork and punch some holes in the sausauges before cooking them in the microwave, this way some juices will escape but it shouldn't explode.

Also..I only cook them for 2 minutes at 800 watt.

Perfect sandwich depends on my mood, but always needs to include some form of dead animal topped with it's former food.

Dressed in a sauce which I want.

 

As for the alternate fighting words, a sandwich is made of bread with said dead animal and condiments between it.

All other things are wraps/waffles/ heresy!

I'd consider almost everything on that chart a "Sandwich" of some kind, but an proper, real Sandwich consists of something edible between two slices of bread.

 

The Pop Tart doesn't count at all because technically it's a pie.

Pretty much anything can go in a sandwich. As for when it stops being a sandwich? Probably when you can no longer pick it up and fit it in your pie-hole to take bites. But only in rare situations can a sandwich pass inspection if its lacking mustard. Generally those situations involve it being an ice cream sandwich, or possibly, a steak sandwich -- though even there mustard is acceptable.

 

Oh and for those curious, "yellow mustard" is not mustard. :)
