A "sandwich" made with "bread" that is more sugar than bread with mystery "tuna fish" that is totally 100% tuna.

Yes, in Ireland the Subway "bread" cannot be classified as bread because of the amount of sugar in it.

The subway sandwich "bread" enters the cake category.

Unfortunately from a topological standpoint, this is still classified as a sandwich according to the Cube Rule of Food.

Hot dogs are tacos and not sandwiches?!?!

Oh it gets worse.

According to the full documentation, soup is a salad, salad is either quiche or nachos depending on prep style, and nigiri is toast. Notably, salad itself does not fall under the "salad" cube rule.

i would say hot dogs are borderline, with most hot dog buns there is only a very thin bit connecting the two sides, and it's not unusual for that to rip out so you end up with a technically accurate sandwich.

Is a burrito a sushi or calzone?

Calzone, no open sides in the initial structure. Creating one during eating it shouldn't affect that.

If both ends are closed, that is. If you have one open end, it's a quiche.

in sweden they just use actual bread lol, and like half of the options are whole grain or have seeds on them so it's actually almost healthy.

Does subway in Sweden use a different recipe for their bread than the rest of the world ?

presumably, i've had it and the bread is not really different from regular bread you'd buy from a bakery.

the sugar comes from the dressing

I was gonna say, aren't sandwiches food? Better call that thing in the picture something else

100 years after sliced bread was invented; bread that doesn't stale and doesn't mold for 2 weeks on a counter-top, and still Europe is baffled.

There are reasons to add sugar to bread, quite a lot actually. It causes faster fermentation, increases the Maillard reaction, can make the bread softer, prevents going stale, etc.

I'm not defending subway in particular: they are terrible. But it's not because they add sugar to their bread dough. And Europe pretending this isn't bread is food elitism that ignores that massive differences in production and culture.

that is more sugar than bread

Also very hyperbolic. Subway has 4% sugar, which is high but not cake. Cake recipes are often 25-50% sugar.

To be fair, that 4% is double the max limit to be called bread in Ireland, potentially more if it's 4% of the whole recipe as opposed to 4% of the flour weight.
