More importantly, how long is the vocabulary list you want your players to have in front of them at games?
D&D General Sandwiches should exist in your fantasy world!

Yes its a pizza - even moreso as Calzone is just a pizza thats been folded over (and thus also fits the Cornish pastie), and yeah dumplings and pies become evolutions of the same concept

I'd definitely have sandwiches in my games if I was a DM. It's not a question of if they could be made, of course they could. The real question is what the foods in your game can tell you about the cultures that they come from. It's a world building tool. Sandwiches have probably existed as long as bread has, they just never caught on as a big cultural thing. From what I've seen of the culinary past, for the most part small pies took the place of an all-in-one food delivery vehicle. It makes sense for the time and place, most meats availible were lesser cuts and often pushing their shelf life, so a stew would soften the meat and allow seasoning to make them better tasting. Cook that into a sealed hand pie and you've got the perfect quick food. So having a society that favors a sandwich would say something about what that society is. I haven't spent much time thinking about it, so I don't have any solid ideas or examples, but it would be interesting.

Fantastical settings aside, like punkette mentioned, a lot of food types we're familiar now weren't available necessarily at the time we pop-culture think they would be. What was common, and plausible to have in any one's fantasy game, were cultural needs for foods that were portable and could keep, whether that happened to come as something on a stick, wrapped, encased in, laid on top of and so on.
What I've found cool is noting what ingredients different cultures came up with, traded for or adopted from others to address those particular concerns, esp. when they happened to live in similar climates or places like islands, floodplains, mountains, etc. I find all that amazing just generally.

You may be overthinking the meme. Like, the joke is that the whole system is self-evidently absurd.

I would argue it’s a difference of cooking technique. Soups’ solid ingredients are submerged completely in liquid and simmered until softened the desired texture. Stews’ solid ingredients are partially covered or barely covered in liquid and simmered or braised until the liquid is reduced to the desired thickness.

Well, according to the documentary series Delicious in Dungeon, anything that looks like a person is not ok to eat, and everything else is.
