Is a hot dog a sandwich?

I'm glad in this moment of political tension we can all peacefully argue about something.

By definition I believe yes it is technically a sandwich

A hot dog is a weiner in a bun. It's a piece of meat surrounded by bread, additionally with condiments. It's a sandwich.

I believe it is a type of sandwich. Not a traditional one, but still belonging to the same family of foods.

I'm sure many of you will disagree, but to me anything between bread, or wrapped in any other flatbed is a sandwich and also fast food. That includes wraps, burritos, burgers, tacos, donner kebabs, etc.

No, because a hot dog bun has a hinge.

You might be correct, but I'm saying no as a means of comforting myself from this information

No a hotdog is not a sandwich, it's a long bread roll with a sausage in it (and in New York, sauerkraut and yellow mustard), they slip a sausage behind all these fancy ingredients, when in Australia a hotdog has ketchup, barbeque sauce, hot English mustard, or American mustard, or sweet chili sauce or hot chili sauce, nothing else added except perhaps butter, maybe some onions, and that's it. An Australian hotdog, which is very plain, although we now have chili dogs and hotdogs with cheese sauce in them, but I prefer a Swedish hotdog of just a sausage in a bun with Swedish mustard and that's it, you get this from Ikea.

A hotdog is sandwich-like.

Wait, you mean you guys don't put your hotdog between two pieces of bread?

(Let the real chaos begin >=D )

This is a profound question which has troubled philosophers down through the ages. I refer you to the seminal work in the field entitled "Miksi olet penis ripustanut otsaasi?" by the preeminent Finnish philosopher Jussi Jääskeläinen.

The consensus amongst food taxonomists is that the hotdog is a member of the order Impletur in the class Panem, a categorisation it shares with all other sandwiches where a filling is covered on both sides by bread.

No. A sandwich is utilising two slices of bread, a hotdog is consisting of a bun, or a disturbing, albeit mild, act of necrophilia.

Duh 😒

is a cheesecake a pie?

A taco isn't a sandwich. And neither is an ice cream "sandwich." I believe bread makes it a sandwich. A hotdog is a sandwich.

No for the same reason a taco isnt a sandwich. Use a different bun with an intended purpose it becomes a seperate thing.

It can be. Cook em up all nice then slice them in half lengthwise to get the inside all caramelized and yummy and put a few between some bread. Dont forget the mustard!!!

Well technically it is because you put a sausage onto a bread.

Of course it’s not a sandwich. If it’s sausages between 2 slices of bread it’s a ‘sausage sandwich’. A hot dog is a sausage jn a roll, totally different.

If it's on or in between bread It's a sandwich!
