The definition of a sandwich in the article is "A sandwich is a food typically consisting of vegetables [...] placed on or between slices of bread" (line 1). But a few sentences after it is said that "[...] definition of sandwich; and specifically whether a hot dog or open sandwich can be categorized as such." (line 2-3). Therefore the definition can't be right when it is generally discussed if an open sandwich is a sandwich. The "on"-part should be removed. Tivikus (talk) 21:41, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

 Not done: That's what a sandwich typically is accepted as, then it goes on to explain there is some debate about if open face sandwiches or hotdogs count. It's fine as is. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:44, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

{{Use British English}}

Article is tagged {{Use British English}} and yet most of it is based on the American English definition of the word sandwich not the narrower British one. It seems to me like the tag is wrong and the article is really written in American English after all, when American English is determining the very article scope (i.e. the meaning of the word in the article title.) I suppose the other option would be to trim the article's content down to match the British meaning of the word, but that's probably the worse option. I also think that the article needs to focus more on the fact that sandwich means different things in different English varieties. It didn't mention that fact until half way down the page; I've added mention of that to the lede, but I still feel like the article could do with more focus on that issue.

A Hot Dog is a Sandwich!

Good day/night, We need to add a hot dog as an example of a sandwich. It meets all the definitions of a sandwich.

The USDA defines a hot dog as “a meat or poultry filling between two slices of bread, a bun, or a biscuit.”. A hot dog bun accounts for the bun aspect, and the main meat accounts for the meat aspect. By the United States Department of Agriculture’s definition, a hot dog is a sandwich. We need to give it the simple right of not being shunned by sandwich-dom. 
A hot dog deserves to be counted as a sandwich, and we shall give it that right.

This is already mentioned in the second paragraph of the article. --Lord Belbury (talk) 16:11, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

What basic ass person chose that sandwich picture?

Get help please. If an encyclopedia is supposed to be for reference the most common types of sandwiches should be used. Not some monstrosity. 2601:580:4581:7AD0:587:BCCE:AAE6:52B5 (talk) 19:41, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

What picture would you suggest using instead? Belbury (talk) 19:58, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

I’d suggest a fancier one like here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sandwich.jpg

Otherwise a simpler but less sad sandwich like a balogna, or ham, or turkey. One such example here:
