I used to go very deep on philosophical discussions about the nature of sandwiches with my friends. I’m still digesting the cube rule, but here’s what we came up with: Every sandwich has an axis. The axis is through the filling. You can roughly divide all sandwiches based on whether you eat along the axis (what we called axially), or around it (what we called radially). A burrito is consumed axially, while a crunchwr…

Startup idea: Toastamak. Breads contained by magnetic field and toasted by high energy plasma. We'll ship the breads with QR-code DRM of course. Subscription model.
"Are you tired of waking up late? Rushing out the door without breakfast, again ? Overdue for your fondue? Then you need Toastamak! Our patented quasispace manifold uses space age technology to fetch hot, fresh toast and toastlike products from the interdimensional superposition of spacetime itself. Need it yesterday? No problem! Toastamak's causality-preserving temporal inversion matrix will make ruined dinner parti…

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!"

Reminds me of Soup-Salad-Sandwich space: http://sandwichspace.xyz/ Classifying mashed potatoes as a salad and then a salad as nachos is hilarious, but not very useful. I find Soup-Salad-Sandwich to be a better classification, although it is also incomplete. How do you classify ice cream, sorbet, or mashed potatoes? These foods are too solid to be a soup, but they don't have any structure like a sandwich, and they are…

I 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*

The 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…
Have you seen the kind of "pie" they sell at McDonald's? Seems to qualify on either criteria. I've never eaten one, but it's on my mind because someone abandoned a box of K-cups at work that are branded "McCafe" and claim to contain "baked apple pie".
A turnover could also be considered a pie and a sandwich simultaneously. Unless you eat it with utensils.
>Dumplings
What is a dumpling to you? My definition has no filling, as in "chicken and dumplings", and is eaten with utensils.
>Soup bowl: No (I'd love to see you try)
There is a semi-fast food chain that has, or used to have "bread bowls" where they take a round loaf of bread, remove the inside, and serve soup in it. What about that?
btw: lasagna sheets are not "structural" - so again nachos?
