22. Let's break bread... Is a taco a sandwich?

from Side By Side-Eye · host Side by Side Eye Podcast

In this episode, Mandy and Eric ponder the question: What actually counts as a sandwich… and who decided that anyway? 🥪In this episode, we take a deliciously opinionated deep dive into the wonderful world of sandwiches — from their ancient, accidental origins to the iconic creations that earned fancy names and lifelong loyalty. We’re talking Reubens, Cubans, bánh mì, Monte Cristos, and even a sandwich that technically doesn’t use bread at all.Along the way, we uncover surprising backstories, cultural mashups, happy food accidents, and why some sandwiches are named after people, places, or late-night cravings. And yes — we finally tackle the debates everyone argues about but no one agrees on: Is a hot dog a sandwich? Is a taco a sandwich? We listened, debated, side-eyed… and actually reached conclusions (brace yourself).It’s history, humor, food facts, and friendly chaos all stacked together — no crumbs spared. If you’ve ever had strong feelings about lunch, this episode is for you.Contact: [email protected] links:https://www.buzzfeed.com/thehatman/which-sandwich-are-you-quizhttps://www.buzzfeed.com/hazelyxlee/pick-your-favourite-sandwich
