Identify your food based on the location of structural starch. Is a hot dog a sandwich? No, it's clearly a taco.

Except that the sides are adjacent, so it would be a taco, wouldn't it?

Edit: On further reflection, I think that the designation of "bent toast" is just too much of a slippery slope given possible malformations a food could undergo leading to morphology changes. This is the whole problem with morphological naming schema. It's carcinization all over again.
