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

2. Soup

3. Salad

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

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

6. 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.
