Where is this term used?
editI haven't heard this term before and am guessing it is geographically specific (American?). It would be useful if the article clarified this. Mutt Lunker (talk) 22:06, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
- I tagged the supposed "inventor" as lacking reference but as far as I know McDonalds is worldwide and they serve breakfast sandwiches. I expanded the article with references and removed the tags. Otr500 (talk) 15:19, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
- There's also the point that virtually none of the featured items are what would be called "sandwiches" in the UK. A roll is a roll, a bagel is a bagel, a bun is a bun etc., but a sandwich has to be made with two slices of bread cut from a loaf. I can't really envisage Bettys Tearooms serving large sweet fruit scones filled with bacon, egg, and beans etc. (they doesn't open until 9.00 am in any case) -- but if they do, it all sounds pretty indigestible to me! -- Picapica (talk) 16:49, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
- What about open sandwiches? And how would you name the broad category of foods that consist of a filling mostly or partially enclosed by bread, if not to call them "sandwiches"? The Wikipedia article for "sandwich" does not specify that sandwiches must always be made with loaf bread. Ibadibam (talk) 20:58, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Improvements
editMade some improvements to the text, from a UK perspective. Hopefully it gives some added insight and balance to an appalingly US centric article. Irondome (talk) 04:10, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
