Feacher? I hardly know 'erJalapeño poppers are sandwiches.
Rez@prettygood Mmk, let’s play along. So what about Jojo’s? They’re pretty much wrapped in fried… deliciousness. Sandwich? Or nah?
@rez I've worked for a while (more than I care to admit...) on hammering out what I believe to be a precise definition of what a sandwich is:
"An edible assembly that contains one or more starchy elements which in some way maintains or supports the cohesion of the other ingredients."
So here's a good example: a breaded jalapeño popper is a sandwich because the breading keeps it in its form and cohesive. A breaded chicken wing is *not* a sandwich because the breading is not necessary for structural integrity of the item.
Oreo? Pop tart? Sandwich. Hot dog, nigiri, burrito, stromboli, all obvious sandwiches. I'm not quite sure what a jojo is, aside from a bizarre adventure.

@prettygood might be a regional thing then. Fried potato wedges, but, like, not a french fry. They’ve got a seasoned coating they fry them in. They usually have them in cheapo grocery store deli sections in Kroger stores and stuff.
That said, I will consider your assessment. It… sounds plausible. Buuuut… if I ask for a sandwich and someone hands me a hot dog I’ll smack ‘em because they know damn well what I mean.
@rez sounds like not a sandwich to me.
I lost sleep last night wondering if my definition covers lasagna. Like are the noodles required for structure? I think its debatable.

@prettygood Okay, see, the sad part is that I can actually see lasagna being covered under the "sandwich" designation. It's basically a huge sloppy joe in a pan.
