Is a Hot Dog a Sandwich ?

@Rambler good answer rambler

@Rambler well you have to assemble a hot dog ??

@PhoenixPhail You can't have the answer and the question 😂

@SW-User It's a good thing we are tackling these important issues!

@SW-User There a times when a man has to take a stand!

@redredred The categories are made up. Hot dogs are just hot dogs.

If I told my wife I was going to make her a sandwich and brought her a hot dog, she'd be a little confused.

@CountScrofula that’s like saying ricotta isn’t cheese because you can’t slice it. It’s a distinction without a difference.

@CountScrofula Would this confuse you?

A: Do you guys sell hotdogs?
B: you mean the sausages or the sandwiches?

@luckranger71

Amen brother!!!

@calicuz You've been made an honorary Chicagoan.

@luckranger71

Thank you!!! 😎

@redredred no, it would be a hotdog on bread then... 😉

@wildbill83 and if you buy the good ones it’s meat on bread, a sandwich.

@Thodsis even gram crackers?

@TryingtoLava A gram cracker sounds like a very small portion.


Or a physics experiment being conducted at CERN. :)

@Thodsis GRAHAM cracker.

@ArtieKat And you think that was the first sandwich? Like actually the first sandwich and not the name for it?

@GlitterEater That's the legend. I know I'm an ageing gentleman but I wasn't around in 1762 to prove it one way or the other.

@Starcrossed This is correct.

@luckranger71
No, that is not correct. A sausage is a sausage and a wiener is a wiener, neither of which are relevant to each other. A hotdog is not a hotdog because the wiener looks like a sausage. A wiener or a sausage only becomes a hotdog if it is incorporated with a bread mechanism like a bun or slice of bread to enabling holding either in your hand.

@SandWitch

@TryingtoLava Yes.

@LordShadowfire hmmm so then anething between anething is a sandwich wow thats a versatile word!

@calicuz


That is categorically incorrect. It is NOT the bun that makes a hotdog a hotdog, by definition it is the sausage-shaped choice of meat, be it a sausage or a wiener, which is then wrapped within a bread component that defines a hotdog as a hotdog, even if that sausage or wiener is wrapped in a slice of bread.

If you put a slice of ham in a hotdog bun, it would actually be called a sandwich by definition, not a hotdog.

@SandWitch

But, that's what I said. 🤷‍♂️

@ArishMell so subway doesn’t sell sandwiches?
Their ads say they do.

@ArishMell so if I take one slice of bread, put some bologna and cheese on it. It IS a sandwich if I use a second slice of bread to cover it. But it is not a sandwich if I fold the one piece in half?

I would disagree. A folded over piece of bread can make a sandwich.

@ViciDraco You are right. It's no different from cutting the original slice in half and making a sandwich from the two halves.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout so, about half as much as sausage mcmuffins? 🤔

@Jacko1971 True, I've folded over sliced bread on a hot dog.

@Jacko1971 See, that's why I call it a sandwich. It's just a different kind of bread is all.

@LordShadowfire
How dare you!

@ArtieKat
A SandWitch is not flat. What does John Montagu know for sure I wonder?

@SandWitch If you want to argue with History, feel free 🤷‍♀️

@ArtieKat
I'm not arguing with history, I'm arguing with you! 😂

@Vin53 There are hot dog sausages and hot dog sandwiches, you are conflating the two because everyone shortens them both to "hot dog"

@Vin53 A grilled cheese sans bread is just fried cheese, which I’ve had 😉

@Tenletters I bet Siri is a vegetarian

@FreeSpirit1
Those are not hot dogs either.

@FreeSpirit1

@MarmeeMarch So is it a sandwich or no?

@MarmeeMarch Absolutely agree

@Lilnonames My cousins' aunt in Connecticut says the same thing about lobster rolls, that it's named after the bread that way, not the filling.
