@CountScrofula Would this confuse you?
A: Do you guys sell hotdogs?
B: you mean the sausages or the sandwiches?

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.

No, it's not a sandwich.
It's the Frankfurter/Hot Dog that makes a Hot Dog a Hot Dog and not a sandwich. You can't put a slice of ham in a hot dog bun and call it a hot dog. However, wrapping a piece of bread around a hot dog can be considered a hot dog.
Unless you put Ketchup on it................................ then it's just useless. 😎

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.

redredred · M
@wildbill83 and if you buy the good ones it’s meat on bread, a sandwich.
LordShadowfire · M
@TryingtoLava Yes.
@LordShadowfire hmmm so then anething between anething is a sandwich wow thats a versatile word!
GlitterEater · 36-40, F
Yes. Saying a hot dog isn't a sandwich is like saying a hamburger isn't a sandwich.
ArtieKat · M
@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.

No. A sandwich is a two slices of bread with a filling.
A hot dog is a split bread roll with a filling.

🤔..........I don't consider a hot dog a sandwich, but I have used a bun to make a turkey and cheese sandwich, so It just depends what is in the bun, I guess.........
Adogslife · 61-69, M
No, it’s not a sandwich. Despite the technical definition of bread usage, no one has ever asked a waiter for a sandwich and had him come back with a hot dog.
Vin53 · M
A hot dog is not a sandwich. You can't eat a grilled cheese without bread but you can eat a hot dog raw dog.
GlitterEater · 36-40, F
@Vin53 There are hot dog sausages and hot dog sandwiches, you are conflating the two because everyone shortens them both to "hot dog"
Jacko1971 · 51-55, M
What if you don't have any rolls and only have bread?
ArtieKat · M
A sandwich is 2 flat slices of bread
Jacko1971 · 51-55, M
Im not adverse to a hot dog sausage in a wrap. I find too much bread hard to digest.

Yes. The tiny seam holding the two sides of the bin together is not significant enough for me to consider it otherwise. If we did not consider that to be the case, then most meatball submarine sandwiches would not be considered sandwiches either as those usually keep the same connecting seam in tact. And a meatball sub is definitely a sandwich.
Elanor · F
It’s a baguette sandwich lol ☺️
Azlotto · M
Yes.
LordShadowfire · M
It is meat on bread. That is a sandwich.
SandWitch · 26-30, F
Okay, so to settle this long standing war on words, I just looked up the definition of a hot dog for the benefit of our studio audience.
What defines a hot dog is the wiener itself, not the bun. As long as the meat filling is either a sausage or looks like a sausage, then it is called a hot dog AS LONG AS that wiener is then placed within a suitable bun or other bread wrapping.
The bun however is typically a split bun designed for this purpose, but doesn't have to be a bun at all, as long as the wiener is placed within some kind of bread unit so that the wiener can be held in the hand and eaten.
That bread unit can also be a slice of bread wrapped around the wiener for the entire thing to be called a 'hot dog'.
If that wiener is eaten by itself without a bread wrapping of some kind, it is simply called a wiener, not a hot dog.

Many chefs are divided on this matter; some believe (including Gordon Ramsay!) that a hot dog deserves to be considered a sandwich due to its meat-in-bread structure, while others argue that the unique bun of a hot dog sets it apart from the traditional sandwich definition that typically involves two slices of bread.
@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.

@SandWitch I was just thinking about you last night while I was watching Bob's Burgers. It was the Halloween episode where Tina was going to go as a hot mess, but Tammy stole her idea, so she decided to go as a sand witch instead.
MethDozer · M
If it is on a hot dog bun it isn't only a sandwich, it is a tiny submarine sandwich.
