is sushi a sandwich?

[Anonymous No.15385928]

it does kinda have buns except there's rice instead of bread

[Anonymous No.15385968]

Of course it’s a sandwich.
>burgers are undoubtedly a sandwich
>rice-burgers (pic related) are popular in Japan
>rice-burgers are also undoubtedly a sandwich
>this means rice qualifies as a valid sandwich exterior
>fish is a valid sandwich filling
>an open-faced sandwich is still a sandwich
>therefore - nigiri sushi is an open-faced fish rice-burger/sandwich
QED.

the rice was there to keep the fish fresh for transport
brainlet japs didn't understand this and ate the rice along with the fish
so no it is not a sandwich

For an arbitrary given definition of a sandwich, it must meet the following criteria:
>Base layer
>Fillings/toppings
>Top layer which matches the base layer

Nigiri sushi is missing the top layer which matches the base layer. However, since sushi is toppings on top of a grain-based bottom layer that has been cooked, it can be called toast.

Retarded faggot, sushi means flavored rice. You can have egg, beef, mushrooms etc on top and it's still sushi.

No.

>it does kinda have buns except there's rice instead of bread
The presence of bread does not make a sandwich, the presence of 2 opposing layers of bread with stuffing in between them is what makes a sandwich. So unless you are talking about a literal sushi burguer it is not.

Strong disagree. Open-faced sandwiches are a misnomer, they're not sandwiches but actually salads.

Obviously not, a sandwich requires two pieces of sandwich bread. A McChicken is a burger, not a sandwich.

sushi is a disgrace.
how can so many people be so gullible
Do not eat raw fish
I don't care who eat it.
I don't care what it's called
I don't care How long they've been eating it
Do not eat raw fish.
In fact, don't eat seafood at all.

Definitely a sandwich.
Nigiri sushi (should) always have a bit of wasabi between the rice and the topping.

Which means it’s a wasabi sandwich, with rice on the bottom and fish/egg/whatever on the top.

why is japanese cuisine so hilariously bad?
the main staple dish of nipponland is sushi which is literally just fish on rice
their curry is just watered soup
ramen is just inferior version of authentic Chinese noodles
even instant noodles is taiwanese (Chinese) and not from japan

why could the nips not make a satisfactory cuisine?

It's not a sandwich because if you told someone you were getting sandwiches they would be surprised if you brought them sushi. Whether or not something is a sandwich is a linguistic category, not an existential category. It happens that language isn't a perfect system of categorization, so you arrive at the "rules" of what is and isn't a sandwich and find that the rules apply to stuff that isn't a sandwich, but the reason these questions spark debates is because of this unexpected facet of language and categorization, not because it plainly is or isn't a sandwich.

nigiri is a toast
burrito is sushi
and if pizza slice bends as you hold it, it ceases to be a toast and turns into a taco
