Things like this seem silly but there's likely laws or protection that use sandwiches in their wording.
Defining things you want them to apply to as sandwiches is easier than changing the law.
Makes more sense than the time Indiana tried to define pi as 3.2. The only reason it didn't was because a professor from Purdue was in Indianapolis on unrelated business and convinced Indiana's senate to table the bill.
Of course, we know today that such a thing couldn't happen since Indiana's legislature would laugh at the woke lib and pass it just to trigger him.
Well two decimal places invokes the devil, as does rounding correctly.
That is why in California, bees are fish
Someone is going to find stuff like this in the future and think we're dumb as fuck. They'd be right, but not because of this.
This makes some sense as all foods are salads; sandwiches are untossed salads, tacos are untossed taco salads.
Finally, some legislation from the middle of the country that makes sense.
But also:
Mexican style sandwiches
That's what a Torta is!
Preposterous. Burritos are calzone.
By that logic, cupcakes can be multiple things depending on how you eat them.
If the cupcake is whole and frosted on top like how they’re normally served, you have toast. But if you rip off the bottom and turn it upside down and place it on the top, it is a sandwich. If you inject the frosting into the middle with a piping bag like an unemployed donut maker, it becomes a calzone.
What I’m saying is cupcakes are valid options for all meals of the day.
Reminder that legality is not based on morality.
Or common sense.
I TOLD YOU! I TOLD YOU ALL!!! EVERYONE LAUGHED WHEN I SAID A HOT DOG ON A BUN IS A SANDWICH WELL WHO'S LAUGHING NOW??
I would have argued with you before today, because a hot dog is clearly a taco. But I guess if tacos are sandwiches, then by the transitive property, it is also a sandwich.
-Unrest in the Middle East as Israel and Palestine refuse to reconcile
-2 years on, the war in Ukraine has no end in sight
-The climate crisis keeps getting worse
-America debates how to categorize Mexican food
Turns out the rest of the world doesn't stop just because some fucked up shit is happening.
I am sure this judge has all the say in those situations.
I mean, this is more about a local business being locked out from developing a new location in an area because that are has specific rules about what can be opened in that area (because Political Money) because for some reason only ships that sell sandwiches are allowed to open up in that region.
We think it's because Panera or another major shop being buddy buddy with legislators
Good enough for New York, good enough for Indiana

Sandwich: 🥪 (two disconnected slices of bread cut from a larger loaf 🍞)
Wrap: 🌯 (one continuous flat bread)
Burger: 🍔 (a halved bun, therefore it's also Chicken Burger, not Chicken Sandwich)
Taco (🌮) feels like belonging broadly in the wrap category being based on flat bread.
Is a sub/hoagie a sandwich? Bread is usually connected.
Oh God, why did I get involved
This tuling was passed due to a contract obligation to open a sandwich store. These cases are ueually related to regulations. Kind of like when an Irish court ruled that Subway subs are cakes, so higher VAT and sugar tax would apply to them. (In all fairness, the sugar content in the Subway "bread" is several times higher than the max allowed for bread.)
We already have the Cube Rule of Food Identification Unifying Theory. Tacos are Tacos. Burritos are Wraps. These guys need to get with the program. We base our food taxonomy on the specific arrangement of carbohydrates like civilized people.
The judge also noted that, despite his ruling, he did not consider the plan commission’s actions to be improper, leaving the door open for an appeal
Appeal that shit immediately. Start a Gofundme. This injustice cannot stand.
Indiana is fuckin stupid
HOT TACO SANDWICHES!
Most participants in this debate are far too preoccupied with the shape or structure of the sandwich, to the point of neglecting what a sandwich is all about. It's simple. A sandwich is when you use bread as a handheld base for prepared foods that would otherwise be too messy to eat with your fingers. A tortilla is a flat bread, ergo handheld burritos and soft tacos are sandwiches.
"Then why isn't pizza an open-faced sandwich?" Because pizza has a crust, not bread. When you take raw dough and bake it along with its toppings or fillings, it may be a pie or a pastry or a pizza or a casserole or some other category I don't care to quibble over. It's not a sandwich.
Obviously there are many sub-categories of sandwiches. A dish isn't necessarily excluded from being a sandwich just because it's also another type of food.
Does anybody know what the orange-ish sauce in the picture is?
When I go to the place this is about, thats just Red Sauce.
It's hot, like fucking real hot. Like make you reconsider your choices if you put it on your taco too liberally, but it's so good.
Finally vindication for what I have argued for years.
Now, if only some brave state will legally define a pizza as a type of sandwich the damn sandwich conservatives can have their comeuppance.
Pizzas are open-faced sandwiches. I learned this in culinary class in high school. Why is it so hard?
Chicago style is a pie.
Mexican American sandwich please! Yes with Cesar's salad and beans and rice.
