Butterbrot

Is an open sandwich and Butterbrot not the same thing? As such, is there any sense in merging the two articles? What is a Butterbrot with a slice of ham on top other than an open sandwich? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Freemadi (talkcontribs) 11:20, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As a German, I say yes. Wschroedter (talk) 17:21, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, they are not the same thing. Butterbrot is a questionable example of an open faced sandwich (though really, it's not actually a sandwich by common or legal definitions, it's bread with butter spread); while not all open face sandwiches are Butterbrot.

Germany loves bread roll halves

Consider this image. Can there be something more German? And now I ask you: How is this food called in English? If it is still a sandwich, how can I as an author tell my Enlish language readers what I mean? Do I have to describe it? Wschroedter (talk) 17:32, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We would call that an open-faced sandwich. You could probably just include a picture noting that belegtes Broet is a type of open-faced sandwich, and that'd be sufficient. SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 23:39, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
