This should be in 3B! or Fulsome territory but since I don't know if I can trust them to actually get it done, I'm going to do a little post about it myself.Apparently a Superior Court Judge has ruled that burritos are not sandwiches. I know there has been much debate over the years as to the food included in the statement "I'm going to get a sandwich" but we now have official confirmation that burritos are not in that list. At least not in the US.
The judge made it clear saying:
A sandwich is not commonly understood to include burritos, tacos and quesadillas, which are typically made with a single tortilla and stuffed with a choice filling of meat, rice, and beans.
For those of you still hoping that when you open your MASK themed lunchbox—even though your mom said she packed you a sandwich—there is still a slim chance that it may in fact be a burrito, we have official confirmation that your hope was unfounded.Of course, if you ever did have any doubt about the matter chef Chris Schlesinger wants you to feel like a complete jackass. In his affidavit in the case he made it quite clear. "I know of no chef or culinary historian who would call a burrito a sandwich. Indeed, the notion would be absurd to any credible chef or culinary historian." That's right, the smug society of credible chefs and culinary historians are laughing at your ignorance.
It's ok though, it still doesn't change the fact that your 4 foot long burrito tasted delicious.
