How is what's described here any different than the variety of filled flatbreads available throughout the world? ASWilson 21:14, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
Who has callled a wrap a sandwich? 69.17.59.214 15:09, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- I think that's the point. It's nothing like a sandwich yet in american cuisine it's become a replacement or menu-mate for sandwiches, instead of being treated like a mexican dish. this phenomenon is bizarre.
I took this part off, it was odd and not NPOV.
"fuckers are often made with the same ingredients as any other type sandwich, the "fillings" can be quite exotic. Here are some of the more exotic fillings I found on the menu of a sandwich shop (Christopher's Grinders) in a small town in Western Massachusetts.
A Turkey, cranberry sauce, onions, lettuce, tomato and mayo B Turkey, alfalfa sprouts, tomato, lite Russian dressing, onion, American cheese, Swiss cheese C Turkey & Ham, mayo, Swiss cheese, tomato, onion D Ham, bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo E Ham, American cheese, green peppers, lettuce, tomato, onion, honey mustard sauce F Grilled chicken breast, Swiss, bacon, fresh mushrooms, lettuce, tomato G Grilled chicken breast, onion, cheddar, tomato, mustard dressing, melted H Grilled chicken breast, Swiss, bacon, fresh mushrooms, lettuce, tomato I Chicken salad, lettuce, tomato, alfalfa sprouts J Tuna salad, tomato, Swiss, fresh mushrooms, melted K Tuna salad, lettuce, cheddar, onions, pickles, sprouts L Cheddar, Swiss, tomato, bacon, lite mayo, mustard dressing, melted M Alfalfa sprouts, cheddar, Swiss, tomato, onion, fresh mushrooms, lettuce, peppers, American cheese, lite Russian dressing, melted N Roast Beef, tomato, lettuce, swiss, fresh mushrooms, horseradish dressing, melted O Roast Beef, monterrey jack, provolone, Swiss, onions, mayo, melted and Add-ons: Bacon, Cheese, Green Pepper, Alfalfa Sprouts
It seems they can be made with all cold ingredients and served cold like a sandwich or placed in an oven long enough to warm and melt a variety of cheeses through them.
I am sure there are other exotic combinations for this yet undefined sandwich type of food. Finding recipes for this relatively new invention is as difficult as finding a definition."
fluff?
This article is just a little too laudatory towards wraps. For example, I know that several US fast food chains tried wraps a few years ago, but discontinued them. Unfortunately, I can't remember which ones. That info needs to be added to this article. BlankVerse 10:43, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
"tortilla panacea"?

"Although the popularly understood origin of the wrap was Bobby V's around 1980, the first known wrap sandwiches appeared in Honolulu in 1974. When the original Govinda's Vegetarian Restaurant opened on Kapiolani Boulevard in September '74, their avocado and cheese sandwiches wrapped in homemade whole-wheat chapatis made the restaurant an immediate success. Ronald Sullivan, also known as Revati Ramana, conceived the chapati sandwiches as a way to distinguish Govinda's, and the sandwiches, along with Govinda's Vegetable Soup (a mung-bean soup rich in vegetables), were famous among hip, health-conscious Hawaii residents and visitors in the mid '70s."
Not a Sandwich
Based on the Wiki article on sandwich, a wrap is not a sandwich of any kind. It is clearly a kind of taco or burrito whose ingredients are not limited to those found in traditional Mexican or Middle Eastern cuisine. Tmangray 21:14, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Qualifications for Notable Restaurant
In British Columbia, Canada, we have a restaurant franchise called "WrapZone" that serves mostly this type of food. However, there are only 12 locations across the province (most being in the Vancouver area, and some up in central BC). How "major" of a chain does a restaurant need to be to earn a mention in an article like this? Is the scope too small to be of interest to a global audience? The site for the chain is at [1] in case anyone wants to see if it qualifies. -- Shane Lawrence 18:55, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
