#42Earlier quoted context omitted.
by their definition not because the inside of the apple is not 'messy'
The stated requirement is that the inside is messier than the outside. I think that's uncontroversially true of an apple.
hmm, maybe, I think it must be a mistake though, the inside of just about everything is messier than the outside.

#43Hotdog being a taco is definitely appealing, but I can't take this seriously when nigiri sushi is classed as 1/toast rather than 4/sushi.
It gets better. On the cube-rule taxonomy, steak is a kind of salad, and salad is a kind of nacho.
To be fair, only salad with croutons is-a nachos. Salad without sprinkled carbs is-a salad.

#44Isn't the choice of cartesian axes creating a false distinction here? Where does a tetrahedral snack with a missing face fit? I think a pure topological approach would be more robust. Count the holes and edges.
This is a great idea, then menus could be organised by their topological equivalences, instead of arbitrary entree, etc. So donuts and coffee would be in the one section as nature intended.

#47The idea that we should classify food by shape is clearly erroneous. Our food classifications should be based on method of eating , not by shape! A sandwich is any food that uses a carbohydrate to protect your hands from a messier food, so that you can eat it at a card table without getting your hands dirty (a la the origin myth). Let's go through the things here: Pizza: Yes Sushi: Mostly no (the carbs don't protect…
Plain M&Ms: Yes (melts in your mouth, not in your hands!)
Cannoli: Yes
Jelly donut, cream-filled donut, icing-filled donut: Yes
Cupcake: Yes (assuming frosting on top)
Fish and chips: Yes (sandwich with fries on the side)
Fried okra: Yes
Mozzarella sticks: Yes
Hot dinner roll or biscuit with butter inside it: Yes
Cheese sandwich: No (unless cheese is soft, melted, or too many pieces)

If you rule out anything eaten with a fork, you immediately rule out open-faced sandwiches, which as far as I know, are universally referred to as open-faced sandwiches. You can pry my open-faced tuna melt on rye out of my cold dead hands. If you commit yourself to the carbohydrate as a protector from mess, is a messy sandwich still a sandwich? What about cucumber sandwiches (not messy on the inside)? You say a pie i…

Why is it in your hands and not the fork with which you’re supposed to be eating it?
Re: The Cube Rule (2017)
#50What if we classify based on which direction the food can squeeze out and make a mess?
Sandwich (any direction) Burrito (depends on how well you wrap it but blow out through the backend typical) Sriracha (only into your eyes) Etc.
