Look upon my words
and despair

I am disappointed that noone has thought to apply the rules of taxonomy in an effort to clear up the confusion.

If we consider variations in filing can be considered a species (so we can distinguish between a chicken filled taco, and one with a beef filling), we can then stepping up a rank and apply a Genus to the primary designation, for example Taco. As a taco is constructed with a singular outer membrane, and thus I would suggest a family name of perhaps monoderm. This allows us to group wraps, tacos, hotdogs, and other singularly wrapped foods of the family SANDWICH, which of course, is distinct from the classic (and original?) species.

For example SANDWICH, Duoderm sandwich caseum is a humble cheese sandwich.
A Hot Dog would then be SANDWICH, Monoderm hotdog capsicum for a chilli dog.

I encourage further taxonomic discussion, so that these kinds of confusion can be finally laid to rest.

I put forward the theorem that the number of bread-enveloped edible products does not come close to the number of species on this planet. Furthermore, as there is no genetic component to the creation of such a dough-wrapped delicacy, there cannot be a later discovery of knowledge that supersedes the previous classification. Thus I find your dismissal of the attempt to form a generic classification system to be both facile and showing the simple-mindedness of a larder nazi.

As if the breadth of worldwide sandwichkind can be pinned down to a single definition?

Preposterous!
