Poll: Is a Hotdog a Sandwich?

[Deleted member 87036]

A sandwich is defined as "two or more pieces of bread or a split roll with a filling in between," according to Merriam-Webster. Hot dogs, under that definition, appear to be sandwiches. It's reasonable to conclude that a hot dog isn't a taco because the term taco refers to a Mexican food made out of filled maize or wheat tortillas, but when it comes to sandwiches, things get a little fuzzy.

So is a hotdog a sandwich? Why or why not? Do you put dogs in your hot dog?

I have picked a side. I'm going with structural purist, ingredient neutral.
I think I'd say burgers are sandwiches. I think. Bit on the fence with that one

All the best foods are sandwiches.

It just tastes good. So let's leave it at that.

it's probably appropriate to call hotdog sandwiches if you're not Chinese.

otherwise it can also mean steamed dog, roasted dog, bok choy dog, cantonese szechuan dog, etc.

A hotdog is a fraudulent sandwich.

Going purely by the definition, Burgers are indeed sandwiches, and personally I am inclined to agree.

Especially since it means I can claim to have sandwiches when I get neat stuff like Leberkässemmel or, if we also agree on the hotdog, Drei im Weggla, which sounds so much healthier to outsiders.

Nah It's a Taco

 

[Dudealien]

Peanut m&ms are my favorite sandwiches

Hotdogs aren’t sandwiches or Tacos, they are their own food category along with Chili dog, Corn Dog, and the like.

 

[Macha]

I have no clue, but I’ll say it’s not a sandwich for now until this thread convinces me otherwise.

 

[ZombieHat]

It's a sandwhich of phallic proportions!
