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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
