An open face sandwich is still a sandwich. Even if all you do is eat the meat and gravy and leave the bread.
Damn. Now I want an open face sammich and mashed taters.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

I say if you remove the olive salad and then eat the muffaletta, you are eating a muffaletta.
However, if you remove the olive salad and then give the sandwich to someone else, you are not giving them a muffaletta. You are giving them a nameless sandwich.
It makes sense to me.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'd say that a muffaletta without the olives is still a muffaletta. The bread really defines it more than the olives do -- the olives are just customary. (Hmm. The bread is both neccesary and sufficient. The olives are not neccesary; are they sufficient? The meat is neither neccesary nor sufficient.)

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Is anyone else hungry?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I would now actually sell a kidney for a Central Grocery muffaletta.

I mean, I don't even like olives!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ewww. Kidneys.

I don't like kidneys on my muffaletta.

If you have kidneys on your muffaletta, I don't think you actually have a muffaletta.
Going to eat dinner.

I don't know, Hil, I think olive salad is part of the definition of muffaletta.
Though the bread is definitely necessary.
And if someone handed me a quarter muffaletta, I would not check it for olive salad before eating it.
Well, now I might.
