You just know there are some people out there who feel like they’ve just won a decades-long debate with their friends
Having lived in a small American barrio, tacos are definitely sandwiches.
New York has a similar ruling for tax purposes, since prepared sandwiches have sales tax, unlike general groceries.

Always fun to be able to cite legal cases in your sandwich debates.
Ironically it was argued by the guy opening a Mexican restaurant because the locals were being assholes and probably racist.
I’m reminded of why tomatoes are legally considered a vegetable - agribusiness tried to use their taxonomic classification as a way to get the cheaper tax rate and the judge decided that their common use and reception as a vegetable was the defining factor.
And in California bees are fish.
Bread->filling->bread I’m good
Funnily I am sure there is a thesis somewhere by disgruntled sandwich fans who define 3d vectors which pass through the side showing its not true.
Its funny imagining the horror on their faces when they realize that there are vectors on the original sandwich that don’t pass through bread -> filling -> bread.
