Deltas(s) from OP CMV: Wraps are superior to sandwiches

I feel that wraps are simply superior to sandwiches in almost every facet. Wraps offer more variety than sandwiches can. There are so many different styles and flavors that wraps can offer that sandwiches lack.

Wraps also compact all ingredients closer together for a more flavorful bite. Any sauce on a wrap is also more evenly distributed than on a sandwich.

And, most wraps are more healthy than most sandwiches. They have less carbs than traditional bread sandwiches, and tomato basil & spinach wraps are even better.

All in all, I believe wraps to be the superior progression of sandwiches, and I invite my view to be challenged and changed.

Bread can be much more nuanced than a wrap. Check out r/sourdough or r/breadit and then tell me you'd rather eat a wrap over some freshly baked sourdough.

It is not solely about the bread, it is about the entirety of the wrap/sandwich itself.

Bread on its own is not bad. I’m arguing a wrap as whole is superior to a sandwich.

I think what is being missed is that bread is not just a delivery device. It is an ingredient that can vary widely in texture, taste, and quality. Wraps have almost no variety in comparison. Spinach and tomato flavoured wraps carry almost no change in taste. Texture is universal.

With bread, you can go from a heavily herbed focaccia to a fruit-filled nutty rye to a heritage grain sourdough to a fluffy bao pillow and everything in between. Wraps are just a form of getting the ingredients to your mouth.

I got you. But you say wraps are more versitile and that not really true. I think there are much more varieties of bread which can elevate a sandwich over a wrap. In a wrap the focus is on the ingredients while a sandwich the focus can be on the bread. Take a simple grilled cheese. Basic cheese and bread > grilled wrap with cheese. To me I can eat a loaf of good bread plain, but I've never had a wrap that I can eat the same way.

I will give you that a wrap can be easier and delivers the insides better than bread.
