Does a sandwich need to be edible to be considered a sandwich?

No, let's say you're deathly allergic to tomatoes, that doesn't stop tomatoes from being a food or edible, it is just a something you can't eat, so you can construct a sandwich of entirely non-edible ingredients and it is still a sandwich.

No. A taco is made using a bread that is generally yeastless or made of corn. Also it faces upward and is stacked thusly in other words it's not breading, meat, vegetables, condiments, breading. It's lacking a top breading. If you then argue that the side walls are the top and bottom breading then the structure itself is fucked because the insides are in a wrong position (they are not properly sandwiched).
Also sandwich has a wide terminology associated with it because it is both a verb and a noun. At lot of things can be considered sandwiched but they are not traditional sandwich.

The original sandwich is an open sandwich, without a top bread layer.
A taco or gyro is not entirely dissimilar, nor is a wrap sandwich (soft tortilla folded around… things).

Only if a tortilla is bread.
And no cereal is not a soup, because milk is not a broth.

One requisite for a food item to be considered a sandwich is that the item has a top and bottom comprised of the same ingredient. Most commonly this is bread, but it could be two waffles or cookies, as in the case of an ice cream sandwich. Additionally, and this is a more important requisite, a sandwich is a sandwich because of the "sandwiching" or pressing action that is performed when the sandwich is being eaten. Before taking a bite, the top and bottom are pressed together to hold all the ingredients in place. Note that the structural integrity of the food item is entirely dependent on this sandwiching action. By this definition, the only examples mentioned in >>13718 that qualify as sandwiches are the BLT, the chip butty, the ice cream sandwich, and the sub. A hotdog is not a sandwich because when a hotdog is being eaten in the most popular way, there is not top or bottom, and the hotdog is not sandwiched between both sides of the bun. It simply rests there. The same logic applies for the ice cream taco, or any other taco. The ingredients are not being held in place by the sandwiching action. The chicken wrap and the burrito do not qualify as sandwiches because the sandwiching action, once again, is redundant. It does not hold the ingredients together. The tortilla holds the ingredients together. Lastly, the poptart does not qualify for the same reason. The filling is baked into the pastry, and so any sandwiching action that is performed on the poptart does not hold the ingredients in place. A quesadilla made with two tortillas is not a sandwich because the structural integrity of the quesadilla is not dependent on any sandwiching action. The melted cheese holds the tortillas together instead.
Technically, you could eat a hot dog or a taco the same way you eat a sandwich, but that would not automatically make it a sandwich. This is because the traditional and most popular way to eat a hotdog is longways, with the hotdog resting on top of the bun, not in between. Similarly, tacos are most commonly eaten with the ingredients resting in taco shell. Furthermore, eating a hot dog or a taco in the same way you would eat a sandwich would result in spillage of toppings. If you were to pile your hotdog with relish or chili, you could not rotate the hotdog on its side without spilling the toppings. This is because hotdogs/tacos are not intended to be eaten like a sandwich, and as such, it is silly to classify them as sandwiches.
It is also important to note that the ingredients are not part of this definition, and neither is the order of the ingredients. A sandwich could include be made with entirely non-traditional ingredients. Alternatively, you could make a sandwich with two pieces of salami and a slice of bread in the middle, and it would still be considered a sandwich. I call it the "Inside-out"
tl;dr a taco is not a sandwich and you are a nigger

The sandwich was named for the town of sandwich and the verb takes its name from the food. You cannot define the food by the verb anymore than you could define the town for the food as the later precedes the former.
There to the food that is a sandwich cannot be defined in your assjacket upside fucked illogical word salad.
Also. If a quesadilla is not a sandwich then niether is a grilled cheese by your "logic"
