Not a sandwich
A Caprese salad is not a sandwich it is clearly a salad. The photograph confirms this as accurate. I suggest removal of Caprese on the grounds that it is not a notable sandwich, or even a sandwich at all. Arguably, many of these sandwiches do not contain the sufficient arrangement of bread to constitute a sandwich. However, Caprese salad contains no bread at all!
A sandwich is defined by Oxford Language Dictionary as:
"An item of food consisting of two pieces of bread with a filling between them."
As a result, bread is clearly necessary in the composition of any sandwich, regardless of notoriety. - TheLeftGloveTalk To Me 21:26, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
-- I totally follow the a.m. OLD definition of a Sandwich: food between two slices of bread -traditionally with cut-off crust- in order to be able to continue card playing. Or today typing on smartphone or computer ;-). This reflects globally the common understanding and I'd wish it was applied in this list.
In that sense,
a) all listed items with only one piece of bread (Butterbrot, Caviar, Toast Hawaii, Hit Turkey...) would need to be moved from this listing to an other.
b) the list should exclusively focus on well defined sandwich recipes (Cucumber, Bacon, Bologna Salad...). All other families of bread recepies (Hamburger, Crocques, Bun Kebab, Falafel, Fischbrötchen, Doner...) should be listed separately. For one because those are not well defined recipes but stand for a huge variety of recipes. For two, because people in those countries absolutely do not understand their bread dishes for being 'sandwiches' but a bread culture of its own (partly way older than the 1776 definition by Earl Sandwich) and in order to respect their cultural heritage.
c) the OLD definition as well as the traditional understanding defines a sandwich as a small food item that can be eaten in 1 to 4 bites. A snack. And again: with the help of one hand only, with two, three fingers actually. Hence all listed items which are more of a whole meal and which require two or three hands (Barbeque, Beirute, Cheese Steak, Dagwood, Fools Gold Loaf, Jucy Lucy...) should really be moved from this list to another.
d) a split into three or more tables, on dedicated Wikipeia pages with properly chosen titles would increase overview of the huge list.

Knuckle sandwich?
There's an entry on this list that jokingly lists a "knuckle sandwich" as a real sandwich. Even though it is extremely funny, I do think it should be removed. What do you guys think? Steppin' Out12 (talk) 06:43, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
Does Primanti belong on this list?
Primanti seems to be a restaurant chain, not a common name for a particular sandwich. Seems like it doesn't fit with this list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joebobfrank (talk • contribs) 21:16, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
