Comments on: Is A Burrito A Sandwich? http://unbreaded.com/2009/02/06/is-a-burrito-a-sandwich/ Sat, 06 Feb 2010 19:17:42 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: brian http://unbreaded.com/2009/02/06/is-a-burrito-a-sandwich/comment-page-7/#comment-1722 brian Tue, 12 Jan 2010 21:02:50 +0000 http://unbreaded.com/unbreaded/?p=122#comment-1722 "A sandwich is defined as a mess-free meal where the main components are literally sandwiched by two containing elements."<br><br> 1. it is never a good idea to use the word you are defining in its definition.<br> 2. having TWO elements is not critical in the sandwich catagory.

Lon has it right - unleavened = not bread. Thus, the burrito (or its family) is not a sandwich. The stromboli, which had been surprisingly left on the back burner in this debate, is 100% certified a sandwich. If you have ever eaten a proper stromboli you would agree. It can be eaten while held in both hands, mess free and it is a bunch of stuff surrounded by bread. “A sandwich is defined as a mess-free meal where the main components are literally sandwiched by two containing elements.”

1. it is never a good idea to use the word you are defining in its definition.
2. having TWO elements is not critical in the sandwich catagory. Submarines have one roll. Nobody is gonna argue they arent sandwiches.

I would reword your defenition as such:

Sandwich: a mess free meal where the components are surrounded by a bread product.

That being said, burritos (or tacos, ect) are surrounded by a tortillia, which is not bread. Lon has it right – unleavened = not bread. Thus, the burrito (or its family) is not a sandwich.
