Is a hot dog a sandwich?

[Kanussiya]

I have my own standards for what constitutes a sandwich. The standards are followed.

Said article of foodstuff contains the following:
-At least one dry contiguous product of prepared grains, whether made of (but certainly not limited to) a type of wheat, corn, or potato
-At least one fresh food content that is not a condiment

"Contiguous product of prepared grains" can take form in a disk shape, such as a tortilla, burger bun, pizza crust, or even a cracker; a square shaped item like Wonder Bread or a saltine cracker; or any other sort of semi-amorphous blob like a hot dog bun, or anything else that will partially enclose the topical foodstuff, or - at the very least form a base for a single united dish or dish component. Pizzas have been described as sandwiches, as well as cucumber sandwiches, and "buderbrod," all which have only one contiguous grain. From this we can determine that pies also constitute a sandwich. Being partially or almost entirely enclosed by this prepared grain base, we can also conclude that "Cheburek" is a sandwich, as well as quesadillas. Where a pie can be classified a sandwich due to its grain base and a titular filling, a cake is only recognized for the flavor of the pastry and does not form the base for any fresh food. Therefore, a cake is only a pastry. A salad that contains croutons can not be classified as a sandwich. While it does contain croutons, composed of grains, these are fragmented and in no way "hold the salad together."

As for the filling, any food that is not dry, or is not just a topping can make up the title of a sandwich will be considered the component that renders it a sandwich. This is usually a protein such as cheese, meat, or peanut butter, but in the case of pies which we have discovered to constitute "a sandwich," it can be a sweet filling as well - noting that "jelly sandwiches" do exist as well.

Therefore, Sandwich is a very broad concept that encompasses more things than you could expect, but going just from the concepts that defined the first sandwiches, we can logically define many of the things we eat as a sandwich as well.

This thread is madness. Madness I say!

[Nescala]

No, warm hounds are canines.

[Berhakonia]

A dog is not "hot" unless you are into bestiality

[Dogmeat]

A dog is not "hot" unless you are into bestiality

I think you doth protest too much.

[Charledonia]

A hotdog, taken as a whole bun+weiner combo rather than the weiner alone, is absolutely a form of sandwich.

It even fits the definitions given in multiple dictionaries.

All who disagree are either mad or lovers of lies!

[Australian Seperatists]

Is this a sandwich? I think that's the real question.

Ok, now that's just wrong.

[Salus Maior]

No, it's a misogynist symbol.

[Exxosia]

A bun is a single piece of bread, so the definition does not work.

No, subway is not a sandwich, it's a toxin.

My personal definition is that it is a fold along with tacos.

[Amuaplye]

Eh. As long as it's good, I'll eat it.

[Albrenia]

No, it's a misogynist symbol.

Can I change my answer to this?

[Cetacea]

this thread has got to 7 pages in the time it has taken me to have dinner

as for hotdogsit I say a sandwich comprises a sweet or savory filling assembled between two pieces of bread, whether those pieces are made by splitting the loaf rather than slicing it is e ntirely moot.

The hot dog is a sandwich

the question should be - is a Taco a sandwich?

[-Caesars Rome-]

I think I either lost or gain faith in humanity....

[Thermodolia]

Who cares about hot dog samiches.
The real question is; is mayonnaise an instrument?

[New Emeline]

I mean, I guess so?

[Risottia]

A bun is one piece of bread; it's just bent. Thus, a hot dog is not a sandwich.

Bent bread?

A proper párek v rohlíku is made with excavated bread.
And a proper Würstelbrötchen is made from a single piece of bread, cut in two. And with Sauerkraut und Senf dazu!

"Hot dogs" are just the low-quality version of the above.

[Trumptonium1]

A sandwich/tartine is any food on top of a spread on top of a single bread/bun/roll/bagel. Though I suppose a baguette can be a tartine.

A sub/roll is the above topped by another bread/bun/roll/bagel/baguette.

A burger is primarily meat in between two rolls or buns.

A hotdog is a hotdog because it has no spread. It might technically be a sandwich because it's just one bun, but that's being pedantic.

[Gospel Power]

No, that is a bun with sausage

[Philjia]

It's a sausage sandwich, except with the worst sausage and bread possible.

Is making a hole in a bun to put a sausage in it "splitting" it?

Is making a hole in a bun to put a sausage in it "splitting" it?

yes, one does not dig into a bread loaf to excavate a hole, instead one uses a knife to split the loaf. It is certainly an incomplete split, but it is split nonetheless.

That's exactly what one does.

This isn't a split.

That's also how half - if not more than - the world eats a hot dog this way.

So what would the image be if not a hot dog or a sandwich?

[Hurdergaryp]

Given the source material of the sausages used for hot dogs, the real question is if hot dogs are or are not unfit for human consumption.

That appears to be madness. Potentially tasty madness, but madness nonetheless.
