I am a weird person who prefers to eat Sloppy Joe's in a bowl with no bread. My girlfriend insists that it's not a Sloppy Joe if you're not eating it on bread.

Resolve this argument before it leads to a (possibly literally) sloppy breakup.

Yeah I don't think it can be, the meaning behind it I assume is that it's a sloppy sandwich, once it's in a bowl it's contained and therefore there's nothing "sloppy" about it

I guess it depends, do you eat it with your hands or just dunk your face in it? Gotta keep it sloppy.

I mean you can call it a sloppy joe as long as it's between two carbs.

you could put the joe between some crackers, call that a sloppy joe, and then make the claim that the bowl is the joe run-off. It's kind of a legal loophole but I think it's the best you're going to get

How about a bread bowl? Can we be structure neutral here?

I went to a restaurant in Key West once where the Sloppy Joe was their "specialty." The fact that it was the busiest restaurant in the city tells you everything there is to know about Florida. I'd ask them.

It's so close, but you have to call it by another male name besides joe.

I think in a bowl, it would just be a really low class chili at that point

Better question:

If Samoa Joe was actually a white dude from Canada, could he still be Samoa Joe?

Yes, regional variants keep the same name and Pokedex number.

I prefer that definition to the one that makes some of these specialty pizzas a pizza. Like a taco pizza or something

Hmm, where I live a sloppy joe is just chili on a bun, so a sloppy joe with no bun would just be chili.

I ordered a Sloppy Joe from a hipster trendy restaurant last weekend (they had items on the menu like PB&J wings, pancake tacos, and grilled apple pie sandwiches)...

They gave me a Sloppy Joe with no bun. It was weird. But it was still a Sloppy Joe to me.

Let's say you have a BLT. You throw away the bread and just put the filling into a bowl. That's just a salad.

I mean, it has the essential ingredients of a BLT because it's not a BLTB

Bread is an essential ingredient of anything that traditionally has it. A sub sandwich is a salad without the bread, because it is no longer a sandwich. A Sloppy Joe is a sandwich, if you remove the bread, it isn't a sloppy joe anymore.

I don't blame you. Bread is highly overrated. Yes, but I don't think I'd call it a Sloppy Joe, maybe just.... some Sloppy Joe?

You can eat it open faced or closed, but it has to have a bun or its not a sloppy joe.

Well you would be thinking wrong, sorry sir

The whole reason it's a "Sloppy" Joe is because the meat/sauce falls off the bun/bread, hence making it a sloppy sandwich.

If you're just eating it out of a bowl, there's nothing sloppy about it.

The name inherently implies it must be in sandwich form.

You say "I'll have a Sloppy Joe" or "We're eating Sloppy Joes."

You don't say "I will have a bowl of Sloppy Joe" or "We are having Sloppy Joe."

it's..... just a meat sauce

this is like saying "is it still spaghetti and meat sauce if it's just meat sauce in a bowl? i think it is."

you can do all sorts of things with a meat sauce.... but if you don't do them, it's just a meat sauce.

These analogies are poor because a Sloppy Joe is prepared with a specific type and seasoning of meat sauce that can exist without bread and is distinctly only used in Sloppy Joes.

Spaghetti is literally the noodle type so saying it's like Spaghetti without Spaghetti is strange to say the least.
