Talk:Sandwich

{{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:

First one is okay but doesn't really match the "typically consisting of vegetables, sliced cheese or meat, placed on or between slices of bread" definition that the article opens with, which I'd guess is because it's trying to be an international definition. Second one seems good, though, I've put it up. Thanks. --Belbury (talk) 10:00, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Technically, that first one is a sub. That is all. Toodles 2600:1015:B093:E7A5:3CEB:27A:BD99:9E59 (talk) 05:55, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

Pre-made Sandwhiches

My uncle ran stores in London in the 1970s called Sandwich Supermarkets (the listing at Companies House is here: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/00923184 ) I suggest the following paragraph before the paragraph about Marks and Spencers

From 1964 John Magee was making ready wrapped take away sandwiches in a store in Tudor street London. The early cardboard containers were discarded and clingfilm was used. In 1967 John and Julian Magee registered Sandwich Supermarkets at companies house [1] and in 1969 the company started using a donkey as the logo. Over the next decade Sandwich Supermarkets operated out of dozens of stores in central London selling a range of prepacked sandwiches premised on the idea that they could cut waiting times for passing customers. The packaging evolved over the life of the company but included cardboard and cellophane developing into a triangular shaped box with a quick release tab. The idea was not an immediate success but eventually up to 5000 sandwiches were made and wrapped over night at one production point and delivered to the stores. They were displayed on non-refrigerated shelves with slats separating the different types of sandwich. Coffee was also sold at the stored along with a range of buns, sausage rolls as well as yogurts. The stores closed around 1979 but were one of the first businesses to sell pre-packed sandwiches. Domsball (talk) 15:34, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
