That's just only the normal version you can eat in Porto city, Portugal.
Then there's a version you can eat in a place in Maputo, Mozambique: it's stuffed with cape stumpnose fish rather than sausage, cheese, also with leafs whose name I don't remember, and the sauce is based on rum rather than beer. That's actually even better :lol:

According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, "A sandwich is two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between one slice of bread covered with food." A hot dog only uses one slice of bread folded over.

The Holy Solar Empire (or simply 'the Empire') is a FFT interstellar federal empire that is attempting to restore galactic civilization in the wake of the apocalypse while simultaneously having to fend off hordes of literal demons. The setting is a horrid Frankenstein of numerous Sci-Fi Universes (predominantly 40k and Doctor Who/Faction Paradox).

That is not true. It uses a split roll.

It contains flour and salt. And it's called breading.

Many things are breaded, but it does not make them bread. This is no exception.

If you combine flour, salt, and a liquid, in this case egg, and then fry it you get fry bread.

That's a kind of bread.

If a hot dog in a bun* is a sandwich, then so is a taco.

I wouldn't usually call either of them sandwiches, but I can see how they can fit the definition in some fashion.



*Because you can just have hot dogs on their own. In that format, they are definitely not sandwiches.

I'm going to say that a hot dog is potentially a subclass of sandwich. Much as we would differentiate a tuna salad sandwich from a hoagie/sub or from a philly cheesesteak. In this same line of thinking, I would probably also call hamburgers a subclass of sandwich as well.

In reality: I don't actually care what they're classed as.

But that fried contraption is mainly chicken, right? I'm not even sure if this is a hot dog anymore, given how the sausage finds itself in the smothering embrace of what once was a bird.

Compared to the unholy offering created by KFC, the hot dog hamburger is a gift from heaven in comparison.

Under Article 7.B of our constitution, a hot dog is a sandwich.

Those are the founding principles on which we stand. And we will go to war to defend them If you don't like it, well, we have other principles.

Normally I would object to this roleplaying, but let's face it: most hot dog sausages could be considered roleplayers as well, given how they pretend to be a decent meat product.

It's like beer. There's mass produced piss, then there's craft products of varying quality but usually way better than the mass produced piss.

Artisanship tends to result in better products, but those are also more exclusive and therefore not as cheap as the mass-manufactured alternatives. In the end it is all up to the consumer and his/her disposable income.

It's the only way to find good American brews. The artisan stuff, at microbreweries, is way better than the mass produced beer.

That does not surprise me. If Heineken and Grolsch, common pilsners over here in the Netherlands, are considered superior to the big American brands in the USA, think about how utterly mindblowing the products of microbreweries must taste to the American commoner! Microbreweries are getting more and more popular over here as well, by the way.
