I grant you no good night out is complete without one....its just not a sandwich.

No good night out is complete without a couple of Caol Ilas.

But two Caol Ilas wrapped around a pint of poachers choice does not a sandwich make :)

It fit's the criteria of a sandwich (even more so at 2am post pub) meat, wrapped in bread with some veg, apart from it being unleven bread I don't see the distinction from a Bacon Lettus and Tomato with mayo, you can hardly say it's a couple of slices of bread giving a dead pig a cuddle.

Is it proper English sliced bread I ask you? I think not. Wrapped you see - therein lies the problem.

You will be telling me next an eggy soldier is a sandwich :)

I'll grant you the eggy soldier isn't a sandwich.

But I defy you to come up with a explanation a scientific definition of a sandwich that a kebab wont fit in - it's this century's supper food!

LOL. I love it. Somehow I knew that even an inoccuous a subject as this would turn controversial.

Hey we are english, it's either weather or pub food, and we take both seriously.

There you go :)

wikipedia said:
Sandwiches generally consist of a bread, a spread and a filling. In the most technical sense of the word. Bread serves primary as an edible container for the food inside, it can also provide the bulk and nutrients, regardless of the type, any bread used for a sandwich should ideally be used fresh. The spread serves three main purposes, it prevents the bread from soaking up the filling causing it to become soggy, it adds flavour as well as moisture to the sandwich

It still fit's, a kebab is a sandiwch and ergo can be eaten for lunch. :)

Nope - if its not two slices of risen bread, it aint a sandwich. Otherwise an eggy soldier is a small open sandwich...so it must be two slices. A chip barm is not a chip butty...so shape is important....it must be derived from bread not rolls or flat bread. A chicken tikka wrap may delight the dyed blonde office worker, but a sandwich it is not.

Now I will grant one may have a sweet filling - a jam butty is a prime example.

But it needs two slices of bread, a spread and a filling.

Oh you had to bring the open face into it, now it's war!!! So yes a eggy soldier would qualify as a small open sandwich :p
I'll go to Mike's tomorrow and get the supper donner, that should fit your requirements, Two family nans, about 4lb's of meat, Chilli, Mayo and a option on a side order of Salt and Pepper chips per person, and a free 2ltr pepsi if you collect.

This whole situation is designed to allow me to have kebabs for lunch, come on!!! Agree with me make a tubby guys dream come true, lunch time kebabs!!!!
Does anyone else think it's weird putting pig products on a kosher roll. :spam:

Nha not at all, it just makes kosher food awsome.

What if one of the slices is a more three-dimensional affair?

Like a crusty loaf, cut in half. Hollowed out, and filled with alternating layers of chippy chips and baked beans?

If I put a slice on top of that would it qualify? :D

Ahhh two half loaves count....they are just big slices...actually the triple decker raises a good point....so...two or more slices?

I'm in for the kebab...its just not a sandwich :D Is a lettuce leaf wrap a sandwich? If its funny foreign bread, the Earl says "no" :) I like an oatcake. But two oatcakes round a lump of cheddar aint a sanwich!

That's close to what a PoBoy is. Or a Submarine sandwich. JAlthough you woildn't neccessarily hollow it out for those.

Not sure I agree with that as a strict definition. But I do agree it's what normally comes to mind when I hear the word "sandwich."
