With a hilarious spray of edible legalese, local hand-food blogs Breadxbread and Burrito Justice have waded into the question of whether or not burritos are sandwiches.
This really shouldn't be an issue still, as a Massachussets court two years ago came to the obvious conclusion that, no, they are not. Duh.
But, the internets being the internets, people will talk, and the question of what makes a sandwich still gets batted around. In an effort to once again quell debate, Burrito Justice has a survey going on whether you think Sandwiches and burritos are the same in anything more than a Venn-diagram sort of way.
The oval at the center of that diagram, according to BJ, is the torta, which itself casts into relief the very differences between these two carb-bombs:
if there’s something in a parallel food universe that is clearly a sandwich (a torta), then another thing (a burrito) that you are trying to claim is a sandwich is clearly not a sandwich. Q.B.D. (Quod Burriterat Demonstrandum.)Man, that gives you a headache, though. Screw this, we're heading to
