Are Empanadas a sandwich?
It's meat and cheese surrounded by bread so I'd think maybe, but I'd love to hear some opinions!

They are a ravioli.
Which is a calzone.
Which is a dumpling just like uncrustables.
Which is a salad
Which is a grilled cheese
calzone
Salad
Salad theory: "We have the cube rule of food at home."
I would consider them a type of dumpling.
A large dumple, even
The oil being so close to the top makes me a little nervous
Yeah it was a bit over filled for the size of the empanadas, I don't generally deep fry things so I didn't really notice until I started putting them in, so I just took it slow and only ran 2 at a time
I forgot that there are savory empanadas, many that I run into are sweet with caramel or fruit filling.
The savory ones are basically meatpies, so I'd say empanadas are little pies.
Now I need to find a sweet one, I’ve only had spicy meat ones.
If there is a real Mexican restaurant (vs tex-mex or new mex-mex) or Hispanic grocery store near you, you might be able to find one. Dulce de Leche seems to be a popular flavor
They based on Cornish pasties
The Cornish diaspora took their culinary delights around the world
I say yes, in the same way that a folded over NY Slice of pie is a sandwich. Handheld bread containing yummies are sandwiches!
It's a calzone. Come on, this is basic cube rule stuff.
I got some frozen enpanadas recently and the directions for microwaving them specifically called them "sandwiches" 🤷♂️
Oh, well there we go, the food authorities have already labeled it for us! Lol
In Spanish the word for sandwich also starts with 'empa' so I think they must be
Empanada is "in bread". Em like entomb + pan.
Emparedado is "in walls". Em like envelope + pared.
depends on the region...
My first time in Montevideo had me cringing at going from "quiero este
empanadaemparedado" to "este sanguiche"Our culture corrupts everything it touches 😖
FYI I had a brainfart, putting empanada instead of emparedado.
My brain autocorrects other people's farts. It can get awkward
Anything between two slices of bread is a sandwich. A slice of bread between two slices of bread is a sandwich. It's a bread sandwich. Fry bread is bread. So, yes, empanadas are sandwiches.
This is, at best, one oblong slice of bread folded in half and fused together at the edges before it technically became bread, so I don't think your definition applies here.
What about one piece of bread hollowed?
No. No. Fuck no man.
