When making banh mi, I sometimes put a small amount of potted meat into the mayo/sriracha mixture and try not to think too hard about it.

Burger for breakfast. Burger+sunny up egg+pepper jelly+thick bacon and once juicy ass slice of tomato. Welcome to America, my friend.

I'm going to sleep!

The only sandwich I have eaten in months, not very regularly- Wheat bread, tomato, onion, avocado, spicy mustard, pickle, sprouts.

Lunch today (and for the next few days) is the what is left in my fridge sandwich:
Home made bread (not quite risen properly), butter lettuce, lots of mustard. Things may get more exciting if the avocados I bought half a week ago decide to ripen any time soon.

If I had a sandwich shop I would call this the "vegan tragedy."

I was going to mention that Keith's sandwich recipe is very similar to one I like, but that it's missing the slice of cream cheese.   But then that wouldn't be vegan. 
I could never be vegan.  Not being able to eat dairy is one thing that keeps me from the Paleo diet (also beer is forbidden, and that is just a ridiculous omission).

If I believed in such things I would say this is a thousand can post.

I am still turned off to sandwiches, and today I will be eating a tasty vegan lunch that involves fresh diced tomato, onion, green pepper and cashews tossed with a bit of lime juice, fresh cracked pepper and whole wheat couscous.  

Tonight it's all about the bison though.  Do burgers count as sandwiches?  Have we debated this?  I'm actually on the side of no, but I'd be open to calling it a subcategory.  

Tonight:  Local bison meat burgers, grilled, coated in emmentaler, spring mix greens, tomato, caramelized onions, chipotle aiolie all cuddled in between these super-flat whole grain buns.  I love these buns. If you have anything like them where you are, I suggest them for burgers if you really want to taste the meat.  

Side note:  the store I got the emmentaler at had it labelled at "German Swiss Cheese."  I assumed by the label that it would taste like emmentaler and it does, exactly.  I guess you can't really call it emmentaler unless it's made in the region, but it's straight up weird to call it German Swiss... WTF is that about?

My no doubt incorrect guess would be that it's to distinguish it from that snooty French Swiss cheese, and the harder-to-find Italian Swiss and Romansh Swiss variants.

Why would a burger not count as a sandwich?

[KeithHernandez]

What about Burritos?  Falafel?  I say yes (they are sandwiches) to both.

[jaydub]

I agree Keith.  Sandwichness is defined by the sloppy contents being contained by something bread-y for convenient eating without silverware.  Burgers, pitas, burritos, wraps, and even those Vietnamese cold roll things would all be sandwiches.
Now a fried spring roll - I think that's something else.

Whaaaat.

I am working on figuring out the correct metaphor for how insane that is. Are sushi rolls a kind of sandwich?

Hove some dignity.

[nDed]

A sandwich has bread with some kind of filling. Not a bun, not a tortilla or a wrap or a pita.

Then what the hell do I call pulled pork in a bun?

[Choop]

a bun is bread. a sandwich on a bun is still a sandwich. a tortilla is not bread. nori and soy paper are not bread. pita is a bread, but this is where it gets tricky. if the pita is stuffed, that might count as a sandwich; if it's wrapped, definitely not. most of the time a pita is wrapped, not stuffed, and therefore not a sandwich.

i think the delimiter should be that if there's bread interior in contact with the fixings, it's a sandwich. also, it needs to be edible without being cooked after assembly.

today i'm going to have a sandwich for lunch. turkey, mayo, mustard, s&p on wheat toast; nothing special until i slice up the banana pepper from our patio garden and lay that in the middle. simple, clean, good-ass.
