It's meat and cheese surrounded by bread so I'd think maybe, but I'd love to hear some opinions!

    I would consider them a type of dumpling.

    The oil being so close to the top makes me a little nervous

    I forgot that there are savory empanadas, many that I run into are sweet with caramel or fruit filling.

    The savory ones are basically meatpies, so I'd say empanadas are little pies.

    The empanada is the hotdog of the future!

    • The guy who keeps trying to sell me more empanadas.

    It's a calzone. Come on, this is basic cube rule stuff.

    They based on Cornish pasties

    The Cornish diaspora took their culinary delights around the world

    I say yes, in the same way that a folded over NY Slice of pie is a sandwich. Handheld bread containing yummies are sandwiches!

    I got some frozen enpanadas recently and the directions for microwaving them specifically called them "sandwiches" 🤷‍♂️

    In Spanish the word for sandwich also starts with 'empa' so I think they must be

    depends on the region...

    My first time in Montevideo had me cringing at going from "quiero este empanada emparedado" to "este sanguiche"

    Anything between two slices of bread is a sandwich. A slice of bread between two slices of bread is a sandwich. It's a bread sandwich. Fry bread is bread. So, yes, empanadas are sandwiches.

    This is, at best, one oblong slice of bread folded in half and fused together at the edges before it technically became bread, so I don't think your definition applies here.
