Following Lengthy and expensive litigation, Burritos and Tacos are declared to be Sandwiches. - A court in Indiana has determined by a preponderence of the evidence that Mexican style Sandwiches are still just that. ingredients encased in bread.

Anything that's encased in bread is a sandwich?
Are pigs in a blanket a sandwich? Are crepes a sandwich? Are croquettes a sandwich? We now live in a world where you could eat a hot pocket and tell people "hold on, I'm eating a sandwich" and be legally correct.
Yes.
Calzones? Sandwiches. Ice Cream Sandwiches? Sandwiches.
Then what is pizza?
A pizza wrapped in on itself is a calzone, which is a kind of sandwich for Italian people. A gyro is a kind of sandwich for the greeks.
No definition was given so here’s mine: “A sandwich requires a flour-based around some form of protein.”
Pigs in a blanket are sandwiches. Crepes and croquettes are sandwiches provided they have a meat or cheese in them. A PP&J is a sandwich, but a jelly sandwich is not. It needs the protein to be a handheld meal in and of itself.

That being said, whether or not something is a sandwich is irrelevant, because the real issue in this case is the retarded limitation on what types of restaurants can open in that location.
I like your definition and I agree 100%. Something wrapped in a flour base without a protein interior, such as a jelly sandwich could be regarded as a "false sandwich" just like how an apple is a false fruit.
 
I mean there would be no reason for this argument if the plaza wasn’t so autistic about only allowing sandwich shops. I can’t see any argument for why that is such an imperative for the plaza especially since even if tacos aren’t sandwiches, I’d argue they’re at least sandwich-adjacent.
That was my thought as well. Either the association or the guy is an asshole and this was all a long battle to not have to deal with one another.
 
Indiana lacks jurisdiction.

Mexico already has a fucking sandwich, it's called a Torta.

Fuck sandwich specific leasing.

Now if the Judge had said "Man, a torta don't got no dang mayo, that's a messican sandwich" that would be alright. That's a fair ruling.

But no, a taco is not a sandwich.

I do wonder at my own shortsightedness though, because I think a hot dog IS a a sandwich, because the bun is split in half, whereas a tortilla is just folded around the goods.

I always got weirded out by people calling a chicken sandwich a "chicken burger" but it turns out that's how the rest of the world sees it.

Hot pockets were always referred to as sandwiches Ultrapenguin.

Aw damnit Caesare, you got me wondering about Calzones. I'd say they're a plate meal. You can't really walk around eating a calzone like a stromboli, you gotta eat it on a plate.
Mexican joints have plate meals, but they're kind of like a build it yourself lunchbox.

I'd say a stromboli is a sandwich, but that's a bit of a stretch.
 
No definition was given so here’s mine: “A sandwich requires a flour-based around some form of protein.”
Tacos typically use corn, so corn is clearly a legal alternative. Therefore a corndog is a sandwich.

Also takoyaki is a sandwich now, since it's a flour-based batter around a form of protein (octopus.)
 
This, outside of the tech-related because those will always take first place, may be the most autistic thread I have read on the Kiwi Farms yet. Not saying that as a compliment OR an insult, just sayin'...

My two autistic cents: a taco is an open burrito; an "ice cream sandwich" is just a cutesy name for a desert (see also: choco taco--not a taco!); a calzone is a folded pizza (probably originated by an accident in an Italian kitchen); a hot dog/Polish is a sausage with the works; a pig in a blanket is a creative use of cheap food/nice party snack...a corn dog is what your great-great nana called birth control and a panini is...well, just a gay synonym for "sandwich".
 
Somehow this feels racist. Are tacos only sandwhiches to mexicans? Is this dude gonna be forced to add tortas to the menu?

Is everything a sandwhich to the white man?

I want a retrial.

I don't like this ruling, even food is starting to slide into the morass of postmodernist haze where words mean nothing.

Are pigs in a blanket a sandwich? Are crepes a sandwich? Are croquettes a sandwich? We now live in a world where you could eat a hot pocket and tell people "hold on, I'm eating a sandwich" and be legally correct.

Madness.
I agree this definition is very flawed— It means that weather my tacos are sandwiches or not is based on if I use flour or corn tortillas.

yeah this is like, dodging some shithole homeowners association style bullshit rules

if this was armed cartel guys storming the state capital and forcing them at gunpoint to declare tacos a sandwich it would be different
and pretty badass
 
This reminds me of some dumb shit that supposedly went all the way to Chinese supreme court, whether "pantyhose" should be considered "pants" or "hose".

They had fucking academics debating whether it's pants, hose, or its own category (radical centrists).

Use google translate, I'm not bothering.

And no, tacos and burritos aren't sandwiches, Indiana sucks. Sneed.
