- People who enjoy food arguments and playful classification systems
- Worth noticing
- The rule distinguishes nine categories by the location and structure of the starch, from toast to nachos.
Field notes
The classification system ignores a food’s name and instead examines the bread, crust, rice, or pasta that gives it shape. Its examples move from steak and tomato soup in the no-structural-starch category to lasagna and Big Mac under repeated starch layers, while a dedicated taco explanation applies the rule to hot dogs and uncut subs.
