@alexestrella21 Oxymoron. It’s like Bugs Bunny; you can keep calling him a bunny, but he’s clearly a hare. Open sandwiches = fancy toast.

Open faced sandwiches are bullshit! It’s not a sandwich, it’s just fancy toast if it’s not put together.

Open-faced sandwiches are not sandwiches because nothing is being sandwiched. It’s either a fancy toast or a bread salad. It’s not a sandwich.

Open face sandwiches are a lie.
They are fancy toast.
Just like a “burrito bowl” isn’t actually a burrito.

“Open faced sandwiches” aren’t sandwiches.
They’re fancy toast, eaten by insane people.
