hm, no, because it is baking instead.
Care to elaborate? Other than toasting it, how do you consider it baking?
the bread is the lynch pin of the sandwich. You can do whatever you want with the rest of the ingredients, but the bread must (usually) be baked.
Fair enough. Do you still consider it baking if your bread comes in a bag from the grocery store?
It you cook the sandwich, the bread, or any part of the filling, yes. If you toast your bread and warm up your ingredients in a pan, why not ? But if you are just cuting and filling. You're assembling a sandwich, not cooking it.
Entirely context dependent.
Who's cooking tonight? Me, and if it's sandwiches, salad, etc - still counts.
No cooking in the room. Combining sliced bread with sliced cheese out of the bag - doesn't count.
Cooking is simply the preparing of food.
It doesn’t necessarily require the application of heat.
If some one is being proud of a sandwich- let them be proud. We all start somewhere.
edit: to all the people downvoting me: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/cooking
- the act of a person or thing that cooks.
- the art or practice of preparing food; cookery.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cooking
1A) the act of preparing food for eating, especially by heating 1B) a manner of preparing food
To say that "cooking" requires heat is inaccurate. It's the usual qualification, but is not necessary in a general sense.
and more to the point: If some one is proud of their sandwich, why would you take that from them? dick move. Even Gordon Fucking Ramsey had to start somewhere.
Cooking, also known as cookery or professionally as the culinary arts, is the art, science and craft of using heat to make food more palatable, digestible, nutritious, or safe.
Wikipedia says so. Can someone make a really good sandwich without cooking? Sure. I wouldn't even pull an "um ackshuly" on them. But you're putting words in OP's mouth now.
But you’re putting words in OP’s mouth now.
Am I?
Where did I say the OP said anything at all?
Also, I wonder whose more definitive on the meaning of words? The long-standing, generally recognized as the definitive dictionary for US-English... or... wikipedia?
Ya gotta toast it
Only if making the sandwich involves cooking, like a grill cheese or something
