Depends: if it is a smooth puree or broth, yes. If it has chunks of stuff in it, no.

Wouldn’t soup with chunks of stuff in it be considered stew?

How about my favorite. Would bread, with air in between, because air is an object, be a sandwich? I think yes, because air is an object.

That's a sandwich, I've had a PB&J with butter on it, but in this case it's glaze and donuts, so ye, sandwich.

My teeth hurt looking at that -- but you could stretch a point and call that a sandwich. Also: food within two discrete slices of bagel or croissant could also be called a sandwich.

Not necessarily a pure sandwich, I'd call it a donut sandwich.. having said that it looks appealing.

Back to the hotdog, would a taco also not count as a sandwich? They share surprisingly a lot of things in common.

Minestrone is not stew, nor is pasta e fagioli. And Italian Wedding Soup has meatballs in it.

I would say a stew is a thickened liquid containing primarily meat, with the addition of some vegetables.

Yeah, I'd give it an adjective to describe it more in detail.

No, a taco is not a sandwich. A soft taco uses a single tortilla, so not a sandwich. A hard taco is meat and veg inside a tortilla chip.

Well, for the double slicers, a taco wouldn’t be a sandwich.

However, a Mexican pizza would.

Well, a lasagna does have multiple layers of bread disconnected from each other.

No, a taco is not a sandwich.

Yeah, I thought that.

Hot dog tacos ... very interesting.

I just now thought of the Spaghetti Taco from iCarly when thinking of weird food combinations.

Hmm. I'd have to agree, although it does lose the "able to be picked up and eaten by hand" quality. Then again, there are open-faced sandwiches, so that should not be a disqualifier.

Bread. And it would be disastrous to try to pick up and eat by hand.

On a tangential note, thank you for giving me my revenge to the delegate declaring pineapple pizza the OG pizza in Esquarium. :P

I don't think pizzas are sandwiches, but at least I am satisfied with the way things turned out.

Experience in an Italian-American family watching kidlets eat lasagna by hand tells me this will end poorly -- or with a commercial about washing machines or laundry detergent with stain fighting power.
