I know you'd not want to include this because it goes against your point, but for future reference the "B" definition is equally valid as the "A" definition.

You make a compelling point. Many of us now discover that they have eaten significantly more sandwiches than they previously assumed.

Is bread not food? Have I actually been eating my dishes?

As far as I understand the phrase, it is implied that the food covering the bread is something else than bread.

By itself? No. It's a meat stick. If said meatstick is put into a bun, then yeah I guess, but not a very good one.

Quality is irrelevant, it is all about the nature of the combined materials.
