    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.

        It’s worse then that. This all because people didn’t want Mexican restaurant in a strip mall what the fuck is wrong with these people?

      from a topological perspective, wraps and tacos are two different beasts.

      in a wrap, the bread completely surrounds (and encloses) the other ingredients, so theres a 2-dimensional hole involved (which basically means the inside is hollow).

      in a taco, no such wholes are present.

      you can also distinguish sandwiches from tacos and wraps (since sandwiches involve two pieces of bread, like you said). but unfortunately, you can’t topologically distinguish a burger from a sandwich

      Hamburgers are a specific style of sandwiches whose name is derived from Hamburg, Germany.

      Chicken sandwiches are not hamburgers.

        A chicken sandwich is a sandwich when the chicken meat is between two slices of bread cut from a bigger loaf. It’s a chicken burger when it’s between two halves of a bun.

        And as you said, hamburger derives from the German city of Hamburg, so Germans, not Americans, have the authority here.🤪
