Totally separate feedstuffs. Biggest difference being 1 tortilla vs 2 pieces of bread, although filling usually differs as well. I will only agree both tend to be convenient-to-eat lunch items....
Ironically today I was going to a deli and opted for a burrito instead. My vote: a burrito is a subset of the sandwich category(I'm 1 culinarian who thinks such; I don't know the chef from Qdoba) Components of a sandwich: bread, spread, filling (& garnish). A Burrito has all these components. FYI: tortilla is a flat bread. What about open-faced sandwiches w/ 1 piece of bread? If I fill a hollowed out baguette, is it not a sandwhich b/c it's 1 hunk of bread? If I wrap a burrito w/ 2 tortillas, is it now a sandwich b/c it has "2 pieces of bread"?
hahaha, according to Chef Chris of Qdoba I would not be a credible culinarian based on my opinion.
now that's tough... while the open faced arguement is good,i'm going with NO a burrito is NOT a sandwich on the basis that a sandwich has 2 seperate pieces that constitute a top and a bottom while a burrito only has one (rolled).
Hmm, I think I am impartial. I see how both Karen and Martha came to their decisions, but I say that a burrito is a sanwich, unless on aplate with sauce, cheese, beans and rice. Then is just good ol' Mexican! Yum
Karen to play devil's advocate - what about a sub, which would be on a baguette type of bread that isn't necessarily cut all the way into two pieces?
Seriously, though, I think burritos and sandwiches are two very different things. This whole lawsuit sounds ridiculous, and almost makes me want to not to go Panera.
Ok...I polled my classmates today. Hands down, EVERYONE agrees a burrito IS a sandwich. Karen, if I make a PB&J "sandwich" and just FOLD over the bread (i.e. make a half sandwich w/o cutting), is it no longer a sandwich b/c it was folded/rolled and not actually two separate pieces of bread?
I think sandwich and burrito are separate yet similar categories under the supercategory of "handheld consumables made from starchy ingredients."
When I think of a sandwich, I think of leavened bread, and burritos/wraps I think of unleavened bread. Could you put some things between two pieces of unleavened bread? Yeah, and it would be called a quesadilla. Open faced sandwiches? Similar but different category.
Could you put a burrito between two pieces of bread? Well, first off, no one does that. But if I had to categorize it, it would be in a separate category called crap.
what about leavened "flat" breads, such as pita and naan? In your opinion, can you make sandwiches with those?
(I agree with you one is a subset of a larger category, except I consider sandwich to be the super-category and burritos to be a subset)
