Passage removed from article[edit]

I took this part off, it was odd and not NPOV.

"While Wraps 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."

Sandwich or not?[edit]

Who has called a wrap a sandwich? 69.17.59.214 15:09, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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.

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)[reply]

Uh, what? The sandwich article defines a sandwich as basically "bread with fillings inside". A wrap is a "pita/tortilla/lavash/etc. with fillings inside". A pita, tortilla, lavash, etc., are all types of bread, so a wrap is clearly a type of sandwich. —Lowellian (reply) 06:54, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

fluff?[edit]

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. ^Blank ^Verse 10:43, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"tortilla panacea"?[edit]

Who is this used by? It sounds a bit disparaging, and the only hits on a Google search refer back to this entry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.58.224.214 (talk) 01:24, 8 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Agreed -- this does not appear to be a common phrase as noted above. I removed from the article. 24.60.189.118 (talk) 04:08, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"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."

Qualifications for Notable Restaurant[edit]

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)[reply]

Inventor of the wrap[edit]

An earlier version of this article credited invention of the wrap to Tommy Valentine based on his own web page which showed it as being invented in 1980. I was able to trace it back one year earlier to 1979 at Sami's Wrap-N-Roll who claim they invented the wrap. 24.60.189.118 (talk) 04:10, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs...[edit]

a picture of a wrap, a set of directions to make a kind of wrap, a picture of the filling of the wrap, and more references. I think one source makes the article too biased.Coffsneeze (talk) 18:54, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

naming[edit]

sandwich wrap -> wrap (food) or something

i agree with those above that no one in his right mind would call a burrito a sandwich

or an enchilada

or an empanada

not sandwiches — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.193.24.148 (talk) 17:27, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

History[edit]

The history section is riddled with contradictions. Until someone provides a good reason to leave them in place, I'll be removing them. Alohamesamis (talk) 22:53, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please expand what the contradictions are. Seeing as how several editors have undone your deletions, it is obvious that not everyone agrees with you - maybe if you'd take the time to explain the problems with the text here, we could have a conversation about things instead? Mr.choppers | ✎ 06:46, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with everything Mr. Choppers writes here. Thank you. Rosemary Cheese (talk) 12:29, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is not originated in US i believe, wouldn't you agree? Like mentioned in the history section, Armenians, Greeks and Turks have been eating wraps. KazekageTR (talk) 10:17, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved as proposed. f eminist 02:44, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wrap (sandwich) → Wrap (food) – Wrap is not a sandwich, food is a better description. See: http://www.foxnews.com/story/2006/11/10/massachusetts-judge-settles-dispute-by-ruling-burrito-is-not-sandwich.html and above discussion. Gamebuster19901 (Talk | Contributions) 15:46, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support move. Even not bringing legal rulings into this, calling a wrap a sandwich is like calling a hot dog a sandwich. It isn't a sandwich. ONR (talk) 00:58, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The New Oxford American Dictionary says a wrap is a sandwich. Station1 (talk) 02:37, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
