    I posit the most practical and likely least precise definition of all:

    Whether something is a sandwich or not is like the difference between art and porn. You know it when you see it.

    Could loads of things fall under a technical definition of a sandwich? Totally. Is a taco a sandwich? Please.

      Is a taco a sandwich?

      Yes it is. Corn flour is just as valid as a flour as any other grain! Therefore a tacoshell is a type of dough productm and a sandvich is topings between two baked dough products. Never has it been said it needs to be open on both sides!

      Difference between art and porn? Plenty of art IS porn, and plenty of porn is art!

      Anyway, yeah, that’s kind of off-topic from the definition of a sandwich.
