I don't necessarily mean specific recipes, I mean concepts. A western sandwich is bread, (vegan) meat or cheese, sauce, tomato, something pickled, some salad, mostly, all layered and/or thinly sliced. Cross out maybe some of them for simplicity, like the mayo tomato or the british cheese and cucumber.

A döner kebap is sort of layered but everything but the protein layer is more of a mix up and not like tomato followed by onion or whatever.

A Banh Mi is sort of western of course, but it does a twist. The layers are there-ish, but they don't matter so much. Sort of a hybrid between something like a kebap and a pita if you catch my drift.

What other sandwiches are there, conceptually?

a stack of pancakes or waffles is a sandwich that many are too dainty and proper to eat with their hands.

when you grab more than one French fry, that's a sandwich. and the condiment you dip it in is like the au jus.

lasagna is an oven baked sandwich. same with multi layer bean dip.

conceptually, a sandwich is a edible delivery system for helping you eat with your hands. a bread bowl is a sandwich.

a lasagna is not a sandwich because it does not have the carbohydrate on the outside to grab and help eat but otherwise yes, we're getting somewhere here. How do I edibly glue them fries together for that fry-bread sandwich?

We deep fried a couple sheets of lasagna noodles at work so they were like chow mein noodles but big and square and then put lasagna stuff in there and ate it like a sandwich

fry-bread

Frybread actually means something fully different from fried X as a sandwich; it is vaguely like naan but with more oil.

the answer to this and all spiritual/existential questions is the same:

mayonnaise.

baked mayonaise sounds more like a bandname than a culinary technique so elaborate here

A multi layer beam dip is not a sandwich until it's on a chip. A bread bowl is a sandwich in form but not function and therefore doesn't meet the criteria. Unless you're picking that shit up and munching it in from the side and getting soup everywhere, which means you aren't eating the soup which means eating it as a sandwich is not eating the food as intended and is therefore not a sandwich, this is called formalism. The resulting bread after the soup is mostly eaten is closer in function to the sandwich but bread with something soaked in is getting a bit too far removed. Gravy is a sandwich under those rules.
