A chicken sandwich is a sandwich when the chicken meat is between two slices of bread cut from a bigger loaf. It’s a chicken burger when it’s between two halves of a bun.
And as you said, hamburger derives from the German city of Hamburg, so Germans, not Americans, have the authority here.🤪
But tacos traditionally are more like wraps by your definition, with the exception being hard/crunchy tacos which are on what i would technically call a chip, this making crunchy tacos just portable nachos
Additionally walking tacos are supported by a chip bag, making them neither a taco nor nachos.
Hmm, what of rolls? Ciabatta, Kaiser rolls? Even croissants? By this definition it seems they’d be burgers, since rolls are cut in half. But then my roast beef sandwich is a lying, cold, sad burger
You have weird Ciabattas if you think that Ciabatta is a kind of bun and not a bigger loaf. Croissants are pastry. And yes, burgers made with Kaiser rolls are totally burgers:
from a topological perspective, wraps and tacos are two different beasts.
in a wrap, the bread completely surrounds (and encloses) the other ingredients, so theres a 2-dimensional hole involved (which basically means the inside is hollow).
in a taco, no such wholes are present.
you can also distinguish sandwiches from tacos and wraps (since sandwiches involve two pieces of bread, like you said). but unfortunately, you can’t topologically distinguish a burger from a sandwich
Sandwich: 🥪 (two disconnected slices of bread cut from a larger loaf 🍞)
Wrap: 🌯 (one continuous flat bread)
Burger: 🍔 (a halved bun, therefore it’s also Chicken Burger, not Chicken Sandwich)
Taco (🌮) feels like belonging broadly in the wrap category being based on flat bread.
I’m sending the cops over to your house right now.
It’s worse then that. This all because people didn’t want Mexican restaurant in a strip mall what the fuck is wrong with these people?
Is a sub/hoagie a sandwich? Bread is usually connected.
Oh God, why did I get involved
If it is, then a hotdog is a sandwich and that’s just nonsense.
No kidding… a hotdog is clearly a taco.
It’s not two slices of bread from a bigger loaf, so no.
those poor sandwich shop owners are all going to go out of business when they hear the news
Yeah, with that hard competition by taco stands…
Hamburgers are a specific style of sandwiches whose name is derived from Hamburg, Germany.
Chicken sandwiches are not hamburgers.

Maybe I’m doing injustice here but I’ve always thought of soft tacos as a lazy wrap.
