Sandwiches
A sandwich is a dish typically consisting variously of meat, cheese, sauces, and vegetables used as a filling between slices of bread, or placed atop a slice of bread; or, more generally, any dish in which bread serves as a ''container'' or ''wrapper'' for another food type, and allows it to be a finger food. The sandwich began as a portable, convenient food in the Western world, though over time it has become prevalent worldwide. There has been social media debate over the precise definition of ''sandwich'', specifically whether a hot dog or open sandwich can be categorized as such. Other items, like hamburgers and burritos, were also considered. In the United States, the Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are the responsible agencies for protecting the definition of ''sandwich''. The USDA uses the definition, "at least 35% cooked meat and no more than 50% bread" for closed sandwiches, and "at least 50% cooked meat" for open sandwich ...

Dürüm
A dürüm (, "roll") or dürme is a wrap that is usually filled with typical döner kebab ingredients. The wrap is made from lavash or yufka flatbreads. It is common as a street food in Turkey and many other European countries, but can also be found in sit-down restaurants. It usually costs about 10% more than a normal döner. Some people prefer it to the döner, either because the portion is bigger or because the fillings-to-bread ratio is higher in a dürüm. Most döner joints in Germany where the bread is freshly baked use the same leavened dough portion as for the döner bun, but rolled out into a flatbread wrap. Another variation is made from a reheated lahmacun, filled with the same ingredients as the döner kebab, rolled up as a dürüm. See also * Burrito * Donair * Gyros * Roti * Shawarma Shawarma (; ) is a Middle Eastern dish that originated in the Levant during the Ottoman Empire, consisting of meat that is cut into thin slices, stacked in an inverted cone, a ...
