The illegals will love it

La senorita should vamanos to la cocina and make me a taco.

A taco is a taco and a sandwich is a sandwich. Didn’t need no Havaaaad law degree to deduce that.

[JimRed]

If a male can call himself “she” or “her”, I can call a taco a sandwich!

[Wuli]

The regulation itself was stupid, unnecessary, restrictive, exclusive and likely meant and designed to protect some incumbant businesses. ALL small local businesses are good to the general local business environment because of the “foot traffic” the bring to the area.

“A taco is a taco and a sandwich is a sandwich.”

I sometimes take one slice of bread, put some peanut butter and jam on it, and then fold it over to eat it.

Is that a sandwich or a taco?

[I want the USA back]

Declaring a taco is a sandwich is much easier to accept than claiming that a man is a woman or vice versa.

I grew up in SoCal in the 50s. Family would take occasional trips to TJ. My dad told me that tacos were like Mexican hot dogs.

"Fulfill all your wishes with my taco-flavored kisses."

It is like the differentiation of foods to determine whether they can be purchased with food stamps or not. It gets fuzzy, but to some people it is deadly serious.

John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, would be surprised that his “invention” has been debated since the “Dawn of Time”.

Maybe he should be Conde Sandwicho . . . a little Spanish lingo there.

And in, I think, New Jersey, they ruled that a taco was not a sandwich.

In both cases the end result is that the people suing won and got to open their business.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Actually people have been eating food wrapped in other food since we started cooking.

Which leads to the question. Is a lettuce wrap a sandwich?

[where's_the_Outrage?]

To take it a step further an Oreo can be considered a sandwich, 2 floured items with substance between them.

I concur. Sandwiches involve bread. There is no bread in tacos, burritos or enchiladas. Peanut butter or any other filling between two crackers does not a sandwich make either.

[bert]

Ignorant clods. The correct wrd is submarine sandwich.

By erring in the adjective, they made it all meritless

[Seruzawa]

Petty bureaucrats are vicious shyts who are jealous of success. Like crabs in bucket they will pull everyone down with them.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

They are called sandwich cookies.
