Is a Hot Dog a Sandwich?

[Liquid]

Steak by itself is a salad because there is no core 'starch' present.

Way ahead of you:

If a salad is anything free of structural starch, I'm sure glad whiskey counts as a salad.

A burger with three or more buns will be a cake. Two will just be a sandwich. The classification of the food is based on the locations of the starch in a meal.

What the diddly darn Smeg is a pile of Pancakes doing with the word "Flapjacks" under it. Utter shunt of a comment there.

This is a flapjack, a dense oaty concoction glued together with a butter and syrup mixture.

So a Big Mac is a cake. Good to know.

What if the starch is in the product? Like croutons in soup?

In America (and maybe Canada?) flapjacks are pancakes. The term "flapjack" is not used nearly as often as "pancakes", but I'd guess that it's used in this case because of the word "cake" in "pancake" being too suggestive that it actually belongs in the "cake" category. The idea is for it to be fairly funny and obnoxious, so if it literally says "cake" in the word, it doesn't come off as being quite as funny.

It's not a problem in the US that we use "flapjack" for pancake. Nobody gets confused, because we simply don't have/eat what you're calling a flapjack .

Are crab cakes flapjacks?

Wait, no, they're nachos.

What ever they are, they're obviously not "cakes".

Crab cakes are expert level espionage assets.

I want to eat a crab cake now.

I am allergic.

Still really want to eat a crab cake.
