Hold up now, potatoes are starch, mashed potatoes should be (1) Toast.
There is a key word of structural. Mashed potatoes don't really have a supporting structure.

Re: The Cube Rule (2017)
#62I find the cube rule to be naïve in its ignorance of topological spaces. A sandwich is just a cross section of mobius toast. A wrap is just toast projected onto a cylinder. A calzone is just toast projected onto a sphere. Everything is toast! Why can't people see this! *walks off into the distance muttering obscenities*
> mobius toast This is absurd. If you drop a slice of peanut butter mobius toast on the ground, how does it land? What sort of toaster must I buy to take mobius bread and toast it? I don't like the implications here, and reject all projection-based arguments. Too dangerous.
Somewhere deep underground, in a high-tech laboratory, a group of scientists lean over a slice of toast levitating in some Contact-esque structure...
"Dr Gibbons! The zero-point readings are off the scale! We've done it!"
The toast briefly flickers into a pizza, then a burrito, then back to being a piece of toast.
His brows furrow. "No. This can't be. Shut it down! Delete the files! No one can ever learn of this!"

#63I don't think this will ever end, according to the cube rule:
Pizza is toast
A stack of pancakes is toast as syrup/butter is on top
Nigiri sushi is not sushi, but is toast?
Steamed pork buns are calzone
Pita pockets are soup/salad w/ bread bowl

Toast upside-down, I guess?
Floating Toast
There is a similar dish: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie_floater

#65I love this page because it reminds me of the good parts of the "Web 1.0".
- Full of content.
- Whimsical while staying on topic.
- Uses design elements freely, to best represent the content, instead of pouring the content into a design mold.
- Colorful and easy to read.
- Obviously made by a fan, for the love of the topic.

Hold on, why would the toast have peanut butter on it?

>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). I mean legally speaking it requires bread not just a carbohydrate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich#Language >In the US, a court in Boston, Massachusetts, ruled in 2006 that a sandwich includes at least two slices of bread[1] a…
> a sandwich includes at least two slices of bread I guess open face sandwiches are not sandwiches.
You can tell that just by looking at them.

hmm, maybe, I think it must be a mistake though, the inside of just about everything is messier than the outside.
I'd say the inside of a rock is exactly as messy as the outside, but we can't eat rocks so that might be out of scope.
You can eat them if they're very small but you probably shouldn't.

> which as far as I know, are universally referred to as open-faced sandwiches You might have overreached with "universally". I call them "(x) on bread" - which is the logical extension of "(x) on toast" as seen in the ever popular "cheese on toast".
> cheese on toast And if anyone claims it's an "open-faced toasted cheese sandwich" then I will not be happy.
Will you then endeavor to make them also not happy?
