Is it a sandwich?

Seems closer in structure toFool's Gold Loafthanbunny chow,and theForbesarticle certainly treats it as a sandwich.Ibadibam(talk)00:27, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Again, my definitions:

1. Bread under, something on top = open sandwich
2. Bread container with sides = bread bowl
3. Food being "sandwiched"= sandwich

So, it is a sandwich because:

Not open, obviously
Half fits #2 because only 2 walls contain the filling.
Food is sandwiched

Works for me.Grayfell(talk)04:06, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sandwich seems appropriate, especially given that the Forbes ref refers to it as a "sandwich" multiple times. Small complication, though, is that according tothis book refat Bunny chow (and could be added here as well), thekotais a direct descendant of the bunny chow, and a bunny chow made from a quarter-loaf may also be called akota.However, all of the pictures at bunny chow claim to be of a 'quarter' loaf so it seems the preparation remains more of a 'bread bowl' style, while for the spatlo the bread is cut laterally, leading to something immediately recognizable as a sandwich. Anyway, interesting how two things so similar and related can be so different based on how you slice the bread.Antepenultimate(talk)11:11, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

HelloFintorandCrowneand thank you for arriving here. You are about the only active Wikipedians inCategory:Wikipedians in Gauteng,so I thought I'd ask: We could really use a photo of a Spatlo. Would you consider buying one, taking a photo of it, eating it, and then uploading the photo tocommonsfor the article. We'd be very grateful.:)Anna Frodesiak(talk)01:43, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi A-Frodesiak, I'll keep an eye out for one, but they are not as readily available as you might think. I'm not sure about actually eating it, I might donate it to a hungry looking some-one. I don't seeFintorscoffing one iether, his page declares himself an Orthodox Jew, and "who knows whats in that polony" - definately not Kosher. CheersCrowne(talk)07:08, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
