No, it's a sub. Maybe we can meet saying that they are all on branches of the same food tree, but they are each distinct enough to be their own entity.
-
Son, we are into some deep philosophical [expletive] here; don't be breaking out definitions like this is the intro to a failing thesis statement.
-
It's it's own thing. It's almost a hot sub due to the type of bread.
-
What about a grilled cheese place? They exist, therefore a grilled cheese is not a sandwich. also, most burger joints I know also offer other sandwiches and the only "hot dog" place I would go to would have Italian beefs as well. And Italian beef is not a sandwich, and most burger joints I know offered incorrectly named "chicken sandwiches" as alternatives, but those are actually chicken burgers.
-
Those are clearly sandwiches, so one would expect to get sandwiches. It's not only that something is singularly defined; it is if it is singularly defined to the point that if you made it like a sandwich it would be made incorrectly.
-
Well, you're projecting your unreasonably broad sandwich determination. You go to a burger place you're not expecting sandwiches. You go to a hot dog stand you're not getting sandwiches. Even if one includes burritos, it's not like you can show up at a burrito place and get a ham and cheese burrito or a salami burrito or a BLT burrito or a tuna burrito. They are their own entities. Embrace variety.
-
Right; if it was presented to you not on slices of bread it would be wrong. If you go in to a place that advertises itself as a sandwich shop do you expect to be able to get a hot dog or a burger?

No bones allowed mcrib Is a McRib. McRib Sandwich Do you say "hamburger sandwich?"

lmao Gonna find a score stream at 1 pm to hear Dan's response Here's a sneak peek:

Replace a ham and cheese with turkey and you have the same issue. Explain. You're still dealing with a sandwich either way; you've just shifted the filler. Replace a hot dog with something else in a hot dog bun and it's no longer a hot dog. The only distinction there is the unnecessary choice to refer to a hot dog specifically as a hot dog. If you ask for a hot dog and I say here's your sandwich it's still a hot dog, just like if you ask for a ham and cheese and I say here's your sandwich, it's still a ham and cheese. Have we gotten into the issue of whether you run out of bread but have hot dog buns? I've made peanut butter and jelly, ham and cheese, and all sorts of other things on a hot dog bun due to the hot dog vs hot dog bun packaging differential. Doesn't change what I'm eating. Of course it does. If you put peanut butter and jelly between two waffles and eat it it's not still a sandwich. You're just eating some bastard mutant creation out of desperation. Again, you ask for a hot dog and someone serves you a hot dog between two slices of bread it's going to seem wrong. You ask for a ham and cheese and it shows up stuffed in a hot dog bun it's going to register as wrong.

Combined with the Cubs just being absurd strikeout machines, so it's easy to be wary about such things. I can't wait until some more guys show up a la Soler who rock the whole "Cubs Way" of all-around player development, but I'm pretty sure if Bryant is not going to be that guy. He's going to be some kind of awesome freakmonster.
-
Eh, I'll pat myself on the back even though I cheated and gave a range. Tree, however, is a [expletive] psychic.
-
Right, but I didn't think of the Expos or Phillies as "real" rivals, either. I hated and hate the Mets, but that was mostly meatball-y hate because my dad and grandfather and Santo hated them so much and that's all I ever knew of the Mets. I was a huge fan of the re-alignment and loved the Reds and later the Brewers coming to the NL Central with the Cubs because they felt so much more like immediate rivals simply by being so close, moreso than the Pirates ever managed even with the past history in the east.
-
Because we're not 5. That makes no sense Don't mind him, he's a robot. I am too, though, so I agree with him. Rooting against the Pirates is dumb. There's just no rivalry. Same when the Astros were lumped in to the NL Central; I'm a big fan of actual regional rivals, so these teams from Texas and Pennsylvania basically just felt like they were coming from a different division to begin with and were only in the Cubs' because they had no place else to go. They really belong in one of the east leagues.

You're bad at sandwiches if bread is ever the main ingredient. seriously that made no sense at all. Huh? Sure it does. If you remove the bread from a traditional sandwich you're left with a pile of meat and toppings, not a breadless sandwich. And like he said, using some sort of replacement for the bread often leads to it being defined as something else like a wrap, pita, burrito etc. The bread defines the sandwich, therefore it is THE ingredient to making a sandwich. It's not the best ingredient, but it's essential. If you do some wackadoo [expletive] and slather mayo, mustard, butter, and marmalade between two pieces of bread, that will be considered as a mayo, mustard, butter, and marmalade sandwich, will it not? The bread is the defining ingredient [expletive], sean had this down. Nice.
-
I like this. It's the same thing with a hamburger; it's identified solely by the meat component. Someone brings you a hot dog or a hamburger on slices of bread and you're going to notice and think it's wrong. Someone brings you a turkey or a ham or a tuna sandwich on a bun and you're going to notice and likely see that as being "wrong," too, unless it was explicitly stated on the menu that it came that way. Again, there's exceptions to the sandwich rule a la things like pulled pork or breakfast sandwiches, but those seem to be people subverting or misusing the term "sandwich"...or just being too damn lazy to come up with something new. And a sub or hoagie or grinder or whatever is something else based on the structure of the bread, hence why they were given different names. And don't come at me with some "sub sandwich" nonsense; it's just a sub, and saying you want a "sub sandwich" is like saying you want a "Pepsi soda" or some [expletive]. They are part of the sandwich family, but are their own entities And cheesecake with crust is, of course, a pie.
-
Because we're not 5. That makes no sense Because being a child is about the only way I could see someone inexplicably hating the Pirates like they're actual rivals as opposed to to just being "rivals" in only the loosest possible technicality.

i dont get it It's a waffle iron that makes Cubs waffles. It used to be my avatar. http://www.sports-4-less.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Cubs-solid-blue-150x150.jpg looked like a sandwich press to me if you put something between two waffles is it a sandwich? No. Nor is it when you put stuff between two pancakes, hence why the McGriddle was coined. -

Nobody said they HAVE to play him at the top or the middle of the lineup next year if he's still struggling. -

Oh god I can't wait until 2016 when we miss the playoffs by two games because we just had to let Kyle Schwarber take his lumps. That's a terrible way to run a baseball team. If the kid is worthwhile, he'll make himself the best option. Giving them the time they need is what the minors are for. The hell? So unless a prospect is immediately good they can't afford to fit them in the lineup?
