Is it even a sandwich if it isn’t an ellipse? Does the word ‘sandwich’ only apply to content and baking method and not form?
What is becoming of the Belgium I used to know?

(Does this even exist in Wallonia? What is it called there?)

Un pistolet.
No, they’re all called the same most of the time. Only some bakers have their own way or names, sometimes softer sometimes harder. Mostly the round ones are a bit harder than the flatter ‘oval’ ones.
Sometimes they have a mix of different softer and harder ones depending of the bakeries, but if you really want to have the best softer ones, then I suggest you do wake up early and go to the bakery at opening time, try out some different bakeries and select the one that you like the most, you won’t be dissapointed as most dissapointed people just like I was for many years are people expecting to still have the freshest softest bakeries after 11 AM. Get your lazy ass there earlier, simple known fact.
Brioche?
Technically it’s an ellipsoid and technically a sphere is also an ellipsoid.
Technicality man, up, up and away!
If you get a round sandwich it’s probably a pain bagnat.
If it’s a small one then it could be a pistolet with a tougher crust. It can be adorned with poppy seeds.
That’s basically a krentenbol without raisins.

It tastes exactly the same. I don’t see the problem.
I saw this for the first time in Zeeland one week ago’, AH. They call them bollen, if I’m not mistaken?
Depends what language you’re speaking.
In English? Yes, that’s a sandwich, depending on what’s in between it. The breadroll itself is a bun.
In Dutch? I’d say no.
In French, I have no clue.
A Sand-olet or a Pisto-wich 😬
Whatever you do… Don’t make a ‘smoske’ with it.
Hey is this even legal?
It’s a ‘pistolet’.
Ask for a pistolet, this is what you get.
