Technically, could one define a slice of double-layer cake as being a sandwich? (Page 3)

Okay, hear me out before answering or calling me an idiot. This just came to me, and I haven't slept in like 3 days and it makes perfect sense to my sleep-deprived brain. I also wrote 1.4k words on why it is and know I need a hobby but that's beside the point. Sandwich - an item of food consisting of two pieces of bread with meat, cheese, or other filling between them, eaten as a light meal. Cake and bread have nearly the same ingredients, the main difference is bread has to rise, but they're both carb-based foods with similar textures. There are also certain cakes that are half-bread half-cake mutants, so I define cake as a type of sweet bread. The filling in between said cake slice is arguably similar to a Nutella or peanut butter and jelly sandwich . And there are savory cakes with cold cuts (smörgåstårta, for example.) Sandwiches aren't usually eaten with utensils whereas cake is, however, I've eaten sandwiches with a fork and knife before and it didn't make them any less sandwichy, so I don't think one could discount cake just because it's commonly eaten with a fork. TL;DR : Cake and bread have almost the same ingredients and similar textures, so I define cake as being a sweet bread. The filling between cake layers is arguably similar to a peanut butter jelly or nutella sandwich, and I don't believe utensils play a huge role in defining food. So, ignoring the public's opinion on this, if an individual wanted to define their slice of cake as being a sandwich, could they? Or would that just be absurd?

  Aren't all out of the box thinkers absurd to a healthy extent?
