Those “Is a gyro a sandwitch? Well what about a tortellini?” conversations always get annoying because people don’t know how to keep them going. Casual taxonomical pedantry is fun and righteous, but only if people know how to play. “Is an onion a sandwich? What about a glass of water?” Obviously not. Be serious.
Lemme tell you how to upgrade your game:
- “What is the least-sandwich sandwich? What defines the outermost realm of sandwitchdom?”
- “What analytical razors can we use to separate sandwiches from non-sandwiches?”
- “What food is most like a sandwich while not being a sandwich?”
- “What is the most sandwitch sandwitch?”
- “What was the first sandwich? What does the ur-sandwitch tell us about the nature of sandwitchdom?”
- “Can you process a sandwich until it is no longer a sandwich? At what point does it lose its sandwich-ness?”
- “When does a non-sandwich become a sandwich? i.e. When do the ingredients become a sandwich?”
- “What is the simplest possible sandwich?”
- “What is the most complex possible sandwich? Is there an upper limit on sandwich complexity?”
