A calzone is a wrap/burrito. Unless uncrustables are in play and are recognized as their own distinct category. In which case a calzone is an uncrustable or vice versa
Pastries are an umbrella category of baked goods that are usually but not always sweet. The composition of the dough and preparation techniques are different and distinct from the sandwich debate. Though I guess you could make the case for empanadas. Or that calzones are large Italian empanadas and uncrustables are also a type of empanada. Hmmm 🤔
So sandwich is the parent category, and hot dogs are a type of sandwich? Are burgers, too?
Oh no I accidentally started researching, there is an actual British Sandwich Association that defines sandwich as “any form of bread with a filling, generally assembled cold”. The USDA, however, has different definitions for open and closed sandwiches and it depends on the percentage amounts of bread and meat… I guess if you put cheese on your bread it’s not a sandwich at all!
Heresy!
I demand the BSA’s definition to be accepted and adopted everywhere!
“if you put cheese on your bread its not a sandwich at all!” - this is unbeliveable and hilarious
Yes.
A hot dog is also a sandwich
Pretty sure flatbread predated leavened bread, so it’s reasonable to conclude tacos predated both hot dogs and sandwiches.
Conclusion: Hot dogs are tacos, sandwiches are broken tacos.
Are pizzas just unfinished tacos then?
Pizza is just an open face sandwich, but arguments can be made that New York style is a taco because most people fold it to consume it.
Have to ask yourself what a calzone is then.

Next thing you’re going to tell me is a pasty is a burrito.

Pasty.
Yeah, they’re baked burritos for sure!
Sort of. As the other commenter pointed out, they are open face.
Sandwiches are broken tacos, but pizzas are not broken.
Pizzas are open face tacos.
and thus kitchens are just covered campfires now?
What? No.
A hot dog is a taco.
A taco is also a sandwich
Ehem, well actually leavened bread came out way after flatbreads - so sandwiches are broken tacos.
It’s all tacos.
Taco is Mexican for sandwich.
Well, everyone knows that.
But by current BSA standards a taco is a sandwitch. So it checks out.

I know, lol. Seriously how many well-known sandwiches have “cheese” or “melt” right in their name?!
But, dare I say, does that not make a ravioli a sandwich? A poptart? Mayhaps even … Lasagna?
Ah, you proclaim! But those are cooked further!
But so too is a grilled cheese! And a patty melt!
Where will the madness end?
