[QUOTE="Olgar Shiverstone, post: 6207567, member: 5868"] I'll respond if only to give you a post to help you get to sleep at night. While we'd probably all agree that a sandwich could technically be "any food crammed between two bits of bread", most Americans treat burgers (anything with a large meat patty or chicken breast, rather than thinly sliced or chopped meat) as a separate category of food. Some sandwiches get categorized by the type of bread they're on, so the "long roll" sandwiches are examples (known regionally as subs, torpedoes, hoagies, or grinders). But then there's buns, rolls, flatbread, pita, slices of various loaves.... One think I've found separates the UK sandwiches I've had from US is we tend to put more stuff, especially vegetables, on ours. A UK cook prepping sandwiches for our unit would slap two slices of bologna between two buttered slices of bread, which caused a revolt until we got him to grok that we preferred may and mustard to butter, and expected lettuce and tomato in addition to meat. Jelly is a variety of jam, as is preserves. The lingo is usually used interchangeably, though I think there is supposed to be a difference in the amount of real fruit parts versus the gellatin portion, with jelly (least real fruit)<jam<preserves (most real fruit). Marmelade fits in there somewhere. Oh, heck, I've even bored myself. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich]If you're just dying for more.[/url] [/QUOTE]
