What Food Is It? A Deep-Dive

Every food is simply one of six options. Accept it.

What Food Is It? A Deep-Dive

There is this long-famed claim that each food is either a soup, salad, or sandwich. Frustrating? Yes. But I'd like to break it down a little further and get more specific. I believe each food is not one of three. Instead, it is one of six. Without further ado, here are the only possible options for your food.

1. Sandwich

We'll start easy. Simply put, a sandwich is any food between two pieces of bread. Examples include sandwiches (of course), hamburgers, ice cream cookie sandwiches, ritz crackers, Oreo's, s'mores, and macrons.

2. Soup

Soup is also simple, just as any liquid or soft substance served in a bowl or cup, toppings optional. Soups, cereal, ice cream sundaes, smoothies, milkshakes, salsa and oatmeal all qualify under soup.

3. Salad

A salad is like a soup, but the dry ingredients incorporated are the true star that distances itself from our previous category. The dressing supports the dish rather than the other way around. Prime examples include popcorn, handfuls of candy, pasta with sauce, trail mix, mac and cheese, stir fry, and rice.

4. Taco

A taco includes any food that is encompassed on three sides by an unbreaking piece of bread, rather than two distinct parts. Hot dogs, soup in a bread bowl, the now-famed salmon rice when it's scooped into seaweed, stuffed peppers, potato skins, and sub sandwiches are all, in fact, tacos.

5. Ravioli

A ravioli is any food that is fully encompassed by another piece of food. Notable mentions include a wrap, a Reese's cup, a Pop-Tart, egg rolls, pies, and burritos - Accept it!!!

6. Toast

Toast is anything open-faced and unenclosed that exists without being tossed together, and it often has toppings on top, like butter on toast. Cupcakes, pizza, meat with seasoning or sauce, baked potatoes, pancakes with syrup, donuts, and corn on the cob are perfect examples. If you're eating something without any seasoning or sauce at all, like an apple, per se, it is still toast, just simply plain.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
