Okayyyyyyyy....

Sorry if I'm pointing out the obvious, but it seems like your sole
method of determining what league something's in is by selecting an
imaginary number that represents how many variations can be spun
out of the basic theme -- am I right? Let me just say that's not an
interesting way to look at food IMHO but whatever, nevermind. What
I want to know is, how can you say a salad is like a sandwich, just
without the bread? A salad is a bunch of foods thrown together.
A sandwich is far more structured than a salad. You probably would
categorize that as a limitation, but some of us appreciate the need
for a little order and structure in a chaotic world. Think about
this: there's no such thing as a Reuben salad, and there's a good
reason for that! Same goes for Reuben pizza -- bad idea.
