Personally, I donβt* but I was curious what others think.
*some sandwiches excluded like a Cubano or chicken parm; those do require cooking.
Cooking is a process of transformation, both physical and symbolic. Combining ingredients intentionally to create something flavorful and nutritious, making a sandwich certainly falls under the act of cooking.
If you cook it, like a grilled cheese, then yes. Otherwise, itβs sandwich arts.
No, I would call that βpreparingβ. Cooking is the act of using heat to prepare food for consumption.
Which means that it might be, depending on the sandwich. For example, you cook a panini or grilled cheese.
The question is inadequatly phrased. You must describe what kind of sandwich we are speaking of. Unless op is speaking about cold sandwiches exclusively, many sandwiches require cooking.
Croque Monsieur
Grilled Cheese
Cubano
Monte Cristo
Panini
These are just a few that I came up with off the top of my head. Iβm sure there are many more.
