New York has a similar ruling for tax purposes, since prepared sandwiches have sales tax, unlike general groceries.

Always fun to be able to cite legal cases in your sandwich debates.
Ironically it was argued by the guy opening a Mexican restaurant because the locals were being assholes and probably racist.
I’m reminded of why tomatoes are legally considered a vegetable - agribusiness tried to use their taxonomic classification as a way to get the cheaper tax rate and the judge decided that their common use and reception as a vegetable was the defining factor.
And in California bees are fish.
In Catholicism beavers are fish.
And in absurdism, beavers are bees.
Both are busy, the logic checks out
I’ve encountered a few beavers that smell like fish.
Ma’am, I’ve told you before. You are not allowed to visit this zoo if you keep sniffing our animals
Bread->filling->bread I’m good
So… hot dogs?
Sandwich
A folded slice of pizza?
Would be a taco. Which is now a sandwich.
In fact the best way to eat pizza is as a sandwich. Not just folded, but if you get two pizzas with three toppings each, or a half and half pizza, then take two different slices and place one upside down on another, you now have a pizza sandwich with 6 different toppings, but still the proper meat/cheese/sauce ratio. Gamechanger.
Funnily I am sure there is a thesis somewhere by disgruntled sandwich fans who define 3d vectors which pass through the side showing its not true.
Its funny imagining the horror on their faces when they realize that there are vectors on the original sandwich that don’t pass through bread -> filling -> bread.
Didn’t have to scroll far to see this here
I don’t trust a judge from Indiana to be able to tell the difference between their ass and a hole in the ground stg
To be fair, Burro and Burrow are spelled very similarly, but knowing the difference is a big W.
One of my Asian friends commented that “all of your food is just a sandwich” and I can’t lie…man kinda has a point.
Im not sure I agree with that. There is no bread involved, and possibly worse for team sandwich, there is only one continuous wrapper. I don’t care what the tax man says that shit ain’t a sandwich. If anything it’s a sort of calzone.
There is no bread involved…
Tortillas are flat bread.
Also, pizza is an open face sandwich. Change my mind.
A pizza is an unfolded calzone or stromboli.
Tortilla is absolutely flat bread.
We label foods based upon the number of carb sides.
Open face sandwiches are not a thing. A sandwich requires two non-contiguous opposed bread layers, otherwise it isn’t a sandwich. It’s a pie. A bottom carb layer with a top layer of substance. Pizza, pie, “open face sandwiches”, and French parfait are all pies.
Now, by having only one contiguous bread, but covering three sides, that would put tacos, hotdogs, Philly cheese steaks, and subs all in their own category (arguably a misshapen pie, but that’s a deeper debate).
Agreed.
Thank you Finally someone who understands
A bottom carb layer with a top layer of substance. Pizza, pie, “open face sandwiches”, and French parfait are all pies.

So tacos are open face pies?
Yes the term exists. I’m saying the term is wrong and shouldn’t exist.
It’s weird in my area. We say toast and jam but call meat and cheese on toast a sandwich. I guess I’m my mind, more than once topping kind of makes it a sandwich, however … Eggs and cheese on toast but Neuchatel and jam on toast.
Tortilla is bread
BURN THE HERETIC!
da fuq does Indiana legislature know?
I’ve been waiting for this moment my entire life
