Why sliders and not sandwiches ?

Why sliders and not sandwiches ?

Very good question Fred.

This was a recipe from a New Zealand publication last July and I simply used the same heading for convenience.

I had always thought of a slider as a type of footwear, not something that you would consume. Even when you Google "sliders" it can be something you wear or eat, but even when it is something you eat they call it a sandwich but it is using rolls as opposed to slices of bread.

"Sliders" appears to be another Amercian language term creeping into other continents. I have just done a quick Google search for Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa, and a few restaurants/bars now have "sliders" listed on their menus, so it looks like that term has already got itself established at least in the tourist areas.
