So according to Merriam Webster bread is: a usually baked and leavened food made of a mixture whose basic constituent is flour or meal

And cake is: A: a breadlike food made from a dough or batter that is usually fried or baked in small flat shapes and is often unleavened B: a sweet baked food made from a dough or thick batter usually containing flour and sugar and often shortening, eggs, and a raising agent (such as baking powder)

And yet some people don’t think that cake is bread.

What’s your opinion?

        Many cakes have some sort of filling between flat layers and are therefore sandwiches.

        Charlotte royale is a calzone, tho.

      Only if it has filling in the center specifically. Many cakes would actually be sandwiches by this definition, and those without filling would be toast.

      Also, I take issue with all open-ended wraps being lumped in as sushi.
