Fillings enclosed in or on bread, a roll, a bun or a similar baked good, eaten by hand, following the standard sandwich classification used across world cuisines. Includes classic layered sandwiches (Club Sandwich, Reuben Sandwich, Dagwood sandwich), regional bread-and-filling specialties (Banh Mi, Cemita, Francesinha, Muffuletta), and burger- and hot-dog-family preparations built the same way (Hamburger, Hot Dog, Luther Burger). Belongs here: any dish whose own recorded description identifies its defining shape as a filling served in, on or between bread. Does not belong here: a dip or spread meant to go onto bread rather than to be the sandwich itself (Dips and Spreads), or a salad served on its own plate (Salads).
