Smörrebröd is NOT the same as smörgåstårta

I want to point out that a danish "smörrebröd" is normally a sandwich with only one slice of bread(as opposed to the true sandwich that can be touched on both top and bottom without getting sticky). It is in other words an "open" sandwich(a canadian friend claims that there is no english word for such a dish), what in Sweden is called a "smörgås". Granted that a "smörrebröd" is often a lot more elaborate than a "smörgås", it still isn't the same dish as the completely bad-ass "smörgåstårta"! I assume that there is a real danish word for "smörgåstårta" as well... The main point of this post is that if the mention in Ludvig Holberg's play is of "smörrebröd", it should not be considered as mentioning "smörgåstårta". What is the exact source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djingis Khan (talk • contribs) 11:02, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cake or sandwich

@The Banner This article states that "It is not a sweet cake, but is composed of layers of bread bound with large amounts of filling and garnish, similar to a layered cream cake, which are sliced and served in a similar manner to a cake.". Additionally, the first sentence of cake says "Cake is a flour confection made from flour, sugar, and other ingredients and is usually baked". I think that makes this dish a sandwich not a cake, but I can also start a thread in WikiProject Sweden. BaduFerreira (talk) 15:36, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Read the first sentence of this article: Smörgåstårta (Swedish: smörgåstårta, "sandwich-cake" or "sandwich-torte") (...). The Banner talk 15:40, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just because something can be translated as a cake doesn't mean it's a cake. On the English Wikipedia, a "cake" is defined as "a flour confection made from flour, sugar, and other ingredients". Regardless, let's wait for some guidance from our friends over at WikiProject Sweden. BaduFerreira (talk) 15:51, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Usually it is quite a strong hint. The Banner talk 22:58, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So what? Lots of dishes have names that do not describe what they are. Reliable sources in English often call this dish a "sandwich cake" and so can we. Calling it something else for the reason BaduFerreira gives borders on WP:OR. Sjö (talk) 08:48, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Or maybe you mean the infobox? Yes, it might be a misnomer to call it a cake there. Offhand, I can't think of any similar food that is called "cake" in English. Fishcake doesn't really count as the "cake" there refers to the patty-shape while "tårta" refers to the layered composition and decorations on top. Perhaps it is better described as a multilayered sandwich. Sjö (talk) 08:00, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
