If the hot dog falls out of the bun while eating, and you put it back in, does that change its definition because it was brought to you as one thing, you changed it to another, and then you changed it back?

What I'm saying is, when does the preparation end? If someone gives you a spoon with food on it, and you yourself put it between two slices of bread, is that not a sandwich? The pizza maker didn't prepare the ingredients. They didn't slaughter the pig, make the cheese, grow the tomatoes. They themselves were handed ingredients, which they put on an open faced pizza. If you fold it, that is just another step in the preparation. No differently than someone on a low carb diet taking a chicken breast OUT of the bun and eating it plain. They are not eating a chicken sandwich. They are eating chicken. Even if it wasn't prepared as such.

You're really hitting some philosophical bedrock here, wow. What's next? "Define 'is' "?

Pick that mic up and I'll let you quietly delete this post with some dignity.

I don't mind the cap -- it's forcing teams to turn to a better breed of GM. It's much harder for guys like Milbury to find a job these days, and I like that.

I like it. It has not hurt teams like chicago, lak from establishing identities. Those teams have earned competitive advantages like vets signing for less, overseas and UFA college players choosing to play there. I think there is still potential for heated rivalries also. 2012 flyers/pens was about the most heated series id ever seen.

seems like you turned it into a spoon sandwich
what if you drop your sandwich into soup and proceed to eat the sandwich in the soup is it now just part of the soup? or is it sandwich in soup

- 2Real


If you just dipped it in soup, no it wouldn't be soup. If you submerged it and ate it with a spoon, along with the rest of the soup, then yes, I'd say it is no longer a sandwich but has become part of the soup. Bread, meat, veggies swimming around. Sounds like soup.

I... uh... I think we've hit conversational bedrock. I'm out of "witty" internet tough guy posts. Should of gone in the spoon sandwich direction with everybody else.

I think the absorption factor determines this. The longer the sandwich remains in the soup, the more it becomes one with the soup.

If soup is small food stuffs suspended in a liquid, is cereal soup?

Per James Mirtle and Craig Custance, the Flyers are trying to re-sign Michael Raffl.

lets say you had some soup left and the sandwich bread absorbs the soup fully and there is none left... is it now a soup sandwich?

could be considered cold soup although my girlfriend likes to heat up her milk in the microwave before eating her cereal so it could be warm soup in that case

I think so. I got one tougher: is ice cream soda a soup? Soda is a drink made to hydrate. So it's not a soup. And ice cream is only a soup if it's no longer solidified but melted. But solid ice cream IN liquid soda? It's meant as a snack, not a drink. You use a spoon. Idk.

It's definitely a soup sandwich, correct.

ICE CREAM SODA?

1) It's pop, not soda.

2) That's called a float.

1) Covered by this week's Walking Dead

2) I've always called a root beer float a float. Everything else ice cream soda in my colloquial speech.

Didn't floats go extinct after the 1950s?

I'll say once cereal hits milk, the gradual process of soupification begins.
