Slashfood (not to be confused with Slashdot) is having a sandwich day.
They’re off to a roaring start with this artery hardening French Toast and Bacon Sandwich.
It looks like the US version of the McMuffins are different too — theirs is an Egg McMuffin, which has ham on it.
For any non-Aussie readers: The Australian Egg McMuffins come as one of Sausage & Egg McMuffin*, Bacon & Egg McMuffin, or just a regular old Egg McMuffin.
* = The “Sausage” component is really just a “spiced” burger patty… not a real sausage snag.
I disagree with their inclusion of the McMuffin and a Wrap in the sandwich category. See their definition of a Sandwich. To me, a sandwich is one or more pieces of bread with one or more fillings. (NB: In the case of using one piece of bread, it must be folded over the contents).
Eating with the hands is entirely optional - larger sandwiches may require structural support and a triple degree in engineering, biology and physics.
Wraps, Burgers, Muffins, Pita-Breads are all good - but they’re not a sandwich. Rolls are a borderline issue — they’re technically a single piece of bread. Oh, and things like melted cheese on toast are not sandwiches either… Unless you get two and uhh… sandwich ‘em together (or fold one in half).
Yes, it’s different… damnit!
