Talk:Spatlo

Is it a sandwich?
Seems closer in structure to Fool's Gold Loaf than bunny chow, and the Forbes article certainly treats it as a sandwich. Ibadibam (talk) 00:27, 30 September 2015 (UTC)


 * 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

 * Sandwich seems appropriate, especially given that the Forbes ref refers to it as a "sandwich" multiple times. Small complication, though, is that according to this book ref at Bunny chow (and could be added here as well), the kota is a direct descendant of the bunny chow, and a bunny chow made from a quarter-loaf may also be called a kota. 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)

Hello Fintor and Crowne and thank you for arriving here. You are about the only active Wikipedians in Category: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 to commons for the article. We'd be very grateful. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:43, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

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 see Fintor scoffing one iether, his page declares himself an Orthodox Jew, and "who knows whats in that polony" - definately not Kosher. Cheers Crowne (talk) 07:08, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
