I don’t necessarily mean specific recipes, I mean concepts. A western sandwich is bread, (vegan) meat or cheese, sauce, tomato, something pickled, some salad, mostly, all layered and/or thinly sliced. Cross out maybe some of them for simplicity, like the mayo tomato or the british cheese and cucumber.
A döner kebap is sort of layered but everything but the protein layer is more of a mix up and not like tomato followed by onion or whatever.
A Banh Mi is sort of western of course, but it does a twist. The layers are there-ish, but they don’t matter so much. Sort of a hybrid between something like a kebap and a pita if you catch my drift.
What other sandwiches are there, conceptually?
That’s just western conceptual style
How do you figure?
It’s an edible sluice for melted cheese, sauce and beef orbs.
A taco is not a sluice, though, because it explodes when you bit into it.
but then is a kebap not a sandwich?
Ah, a curveball. You see, a kebab is a sandwich because the contents don’t slosh when you tilt it.
yeah they do what are you on about
Kebabs are my absolute favorite food, and the wettest ones I’ve ever had still didn’t slosh. Maybe my sample selection isn’t broad enough, but based on what I’ve had, still a sandwich.
RIP Star Kebap on Via Faenza, Firenze, Italy.
Did you try sloshing them within the aluminum foil packaging or without? Cause I feel like you could easily do the former with a meatball sub and be fine. They wrap them fuckers tight
With, but since it’s meant to be eaten in the foil specifically as a structural reinforcement, unlike a meatball sub, it’s still a sandwich that should be judged based on its absence of sloshability.
It is not, what the fuck. You can get a kebap on a plate with zero foil and it holds up well
Depends on where the kebab is on the wet-dry spectrum I suppose
