I would have argued with you before today, because a hot dog is clearly a taco. But I guess if tacos are sandwiches, then by the transitive property, it is also a sandwich.
First, you need to find a place where soup restaurants have some special privileges compared to normal businesses. Then, just start a soup restaurant there and serve cereal and milk instead.
If you can’t find such a place, then maybe you can ask your local politicians to pass a bill like that. Would be nice if soup restaurants had to pay only half the amount of taxes compared to everyone else. Would be good for the owners, and fun for everyone else to see where the resulting legal battles go. Suddenly, you would find lots of companies selling just about anything and everything as soup and claiming they don’t have to pay the usual taxes.
You are surprised? We argued over tomatoes being a fruit or vegetable and if they are a vegetable, then ketchup must count as a serving of vegetable. So the argument over tacos and burritos being a sandwich only surprises me in that fact it took so long to argue about it in court.
I mean, this is more about a local business being locked out from developing a new location in an area because that are has specific rules about what can be opened in that area (because Political Money) because for some reason only ships that sell sandwiches are allowed to open up in that region.
We think it's because Panera or another major shop being buddy buddy with legislators
"standalones": anything that is only described as itself. Separation just results in smaller versions of itself.
sandwiches: organized or layered arrangements of foods. Can typically be separated into it's composing parts.
salads: tossed or jumbled arrangements of foods. Could be separated into its parts, albeit cumbersome.
sauces: perfectly combined or blended arrangements of foods. Can no longer be separated into its composing parts, but differs from a standalone because it was still composed of other foods, and can still be identified or described as all of the parts.
That's bad taxonomy, because then what's a taco salad? It's an untossed taco salad salad. But we still don't know what taco means. So it's becomes an untossed untossed taco salad salad salad. Which becomes an untossed untossed untossed taco salad salad salad salad. We never learn what a taco actually is.
This falls into a common trap. Because we cannot succinctly define a salad in one sentence we decide that it cannot be defined at all. This argument effectively reducto ad absurdums itself by coming to the conclusion that all foods are salad.
If we start from a position where we discount nothing from being a salad, and we have only salads (and soup, seemingly) to base our analysis on, how can we ever identify the boundaries of salad? The whole argument is based on the flawed premise that anything could be a salad.
Sandwich is the more generic word. So a torta is a sandwich, and so is a taco, but a torta is not a taco, and a taco is not a torta. Both of them are specific types of sandwich.
Just like a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square.
Damn straight, if you ordered a sandwich in a restaurant and they brought you a burrito or taco.. you'd be really confused and a bit annoyed that you didn't get what you asked for.
When does it stop being a sandwich and start being pie? Is a sufficiently cheesy grilled cheese or quesadilla pie also? Your comment has really opened a can of worms for me.
