No, a bread sandwich is a sandwich in which the filling between two slices of bread is itself a thin slice of bread.
A recipe for bread sandwiches is included in the invalid cookery section of the 1861 Book of Household Management by Isabella Beeton, who adds, “This sandwich will be found very tempting to the appetite of an invalid.”
In November 2011, the Royal Society of Chemistry, after calculating the cost as low as £.075 per sandwich, named it “the country’s most economical lunch”, offering £200 to whoever could create a cheaper edible meal. Due to an overabundance of submissions, the offer was closed seven days later and the £200 given to a randomly selected entrant.
TIL you do NOT call a piece of meat on a bun a sandwich in AU/NZ… That’s called a burger. I argue a burger, regardless of its own definition, is still a sandwich.
“What defines a sandwich?”
Mate, are you looking to start a conversation or a heated debate?
