The Inherent Heresy of the Cubrule
-
@Testament absolutely not. toast came before sandwich, i am pretty sure and refuse to actually look up. besides ‘toast’ doesn’t imply that anything is ‘sandwiched’ between bread. toast implies the way in which you cooked the bread, much like roast can imply a big hunk of roasted beef but you can also have roasted broccoli.
so you can have a toasted sandwich, etc, but toast isn’t a category of type of food. just the cooking method!
-
@Meg Keep in mind, by the logic of the cuberule, a steak is also a salad.
For the sake of clarity, I have met people who consider open-faced sandwiches as ‘toast’, even though the the bread is not toasted. With the argument that it is not condition and texture of the bread that makes it toast, but rather the fact that single piece of bread is used. To these people, and I would consider these people wrong, toast is considered multiple things; both the status of the bread’s state and by the fact that only one piece is used. That is, by their definition, toast.
I’m unsure of the timeline of which came before, toast or sandwich, but I would assume it was the single piece of the bread as well. Which, I suppose if that’s true, toast is the proto-sandwich. Which begs the larger question; is everything else just varying forms of toast?

Prove to me that a toaster isn’t an interdimensional portal that replaces bread-particles with toast-particles.
Then we can talk.

Oh wait is this cuberule thing why I have a friend that insists food is either a curry or a salad based on wetness?
-
@Whisky Probably the same kind of person that tells you stew is just wet salad.
I don't know what I'm doing. Poke at Seven Nations sevennations.aresmush.com port 2021

@Testament omg, those people are so wrong. ask them how they’d feel if someone asked if they wanted toast and then someone just gave them a fucking random, untoasted piece of bread. that’d be ridiculous!
@KarmaBum i mean, i can’t prove anything. who even says if we aren’t like, all part of a video game. but you can like just look in the toaster and watch your toast toast?
the word toast is funny.
-
@Testament Stew is wet so it is a curry

Ravioli is a dumpling, not a sandwich.
-
i’m gonna go order a vanilla soy latte, aka my three bean soup.

@Meg actually didn’t say, I just fixed it, in The Inherent Heresy of the Cubrule:
look in the toaster and watch your
toast toastbread particles be transported across the vastness of space and time?Indeed!
-
@Herja But is a pop-tart ravioli. And if it is, does that mean that all types of ravioli are just calzones. Which would imply that they too, are sandwiches.
-
@Meg Is it cold? Might be a gazpacho.
-
@Whisky Would all soup be thick drinks if you’re brave enough? You don’t need a bowl or spoon, they’re just convenient. Is tomato soup just hot V8? Or does soup need to have stuff in it to be soup? That does make me wonder then if boba is soup.
-
um the mods here SPECIFICALLY SAID they didn’t want POLITICAL ARGUMENTS–
-
I’m so confused and delighted right now.
Let me throw some tinder on this fire…Pop Tart, toasted or cold from the foil?
If you say toasted you are incorrect
-
@Snackness cold isn’t wrong, per se, but it’s just not the same as the deliciousness that is a nice sugar-coated strawberry poptart, heated up.
honestly, the answer is ‘what is the toppinp’. because frosting = cold, sugar = heated up.

@WhiteRaven Soup is a drink confirmed.
-
this doesn’t even belong in this forum section!!! why do you do this to me!!!
-
@Roz Mostly because I was trying to be intentionally cheeky with the idea that arguing about what is and is not a sandwich could fall into the ‘Rough and Rowdy’ section.
