Is a hotdog a sandwich?

Discuss

How did you bump it without posting? I'm impressed.

I said no. A hot dog is it's own category. Has to be. It's too important.

I've had hot dog sandwiches before and it's not a hot dog.

I've come to the conclusion that it entirely depends on the bun tbh. If the back of it is 'connected', then it's really no different from a taco, which is obviously not a sandwich. But if there's two separate pieces of bread, then it becomes a sandwich

Though this throws a wrinkle in things when you run into hamburger buns like this:



one side of that is connected, which would mean that can't be a sandwich either

In a very general sense they're both bread products with no 'breaks' that you put toppings on. Just like there's a ton of variation with sandwiches but loosely it's two separate pieces of bread with toppings in the middle

I'm very middle of the road on this topic now. I can see it from both sides. I'm too afraid to take a side.

Did we really need to bring this back up, to cause more senseless deaths?

Curtis you bloodthirsty son of a gun.

The law disagrees with your taco association:

In the United States, a court in Boston, Massachusetts ruled in 2006 that a sandwich includes at least two slices of bread.[1] and "under this definition, this court finds that the term 'sandwich' is not commonly understood to include burritos, tacos, and quesadillas, which are typically made with a single tortilla and stuffed with a choice filling of meat, rice, and beans."

Given that a traditional hot dog bun is similar to a sub roll (and in many places is referred to as a hot dog roll), the pollmeister rules that the hot dog is, indeed, a sandwich.

Actually a lobster roll is considered a seafood sandwich. Why should a hotdog be a special libtard cuck snowflake, same carb loaded delivery platform. I don't want to argue for this side though because for 30 years I never questioned a hotdog just being a hotdog and not a hotdog sandwich.

This topic is going to directly lead to me committing suicide, I can feel it.

The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council says that a hot dog is just a hot dog and not a sandwich, but that's somewhat self-serving on their part (especially since they say "That's like saying the Dali Lama is just a guy", which actually argues against their own point. Yes, the Dali Lama is a guy, even if he is an extraordinary guy. So a hot dog is a just a sandwich, even if a special one, based on the NHDSC).

M-W also weighs in on the hot dog being a sandwich:

Much more importantly is the selection of bun. While most places have the bun sliced on the side, I prefer the split top, as it helps keep your hot dog from falling over.

I clicked bump

I've never wanted to overthrow and usurp something as much as the head chair of the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council.
