Just try this thought experiment. Let's say there 's a man who's spent his entire life in a cave with no human contact. Let's say he gives you a hotdog. Is that hotdog a sandwich?

The answer is obviously no. Ergo hotdogs are not sandwiches.

A sandwich needs leavened bread, that's why a taco/burrito doesn't qualify.

Is a hot dog a sandwich? I guess technically yes, but nobody would think of it as a sandwich unless pressed

ahaha from that yelp page:

quote:

We go to hooters every year for my sons birthday, we show up with between 5 and 15 people, the staff at hooters in Saugus never complain and always accommodate us. Our group consists in age from 6, to 73 and the waitresses make us all feel welcome. This year was no different we ordered 50 wings, fried pickles, cheese sticks, fries, onion rings, and 2 kids chicken finger dinners, Our waitress was great and no one ever had an empty drink, the kids loved their Shirley temples. The wings rocked as always, and all the food was great, the Carmel cheesecake and chocolate moose pie were also a big hit. Keep up the great work and thanks for making another birthday a big hit for my son. If hooters was closer this would be my only place to get wings.

i had no idea people brought their kids to hooters, the pg rated strip club

it's kind of an open-face sandwich with round meat, but if you define sandwich as anything with a bread-type outer layer that's too vague to be useful so just call it a hot dog ok

THE MORE IMPORTANT QUESTION is if you taped a hot dog to one wing of a plane and a regular sandwich to the other and put the plane on a treadmill if

if you put a sandwich in a hot dog and deep fry it and roll it flat and use that as bread to make another sandwich and put that in a hot dog, why would you do that?

Sandwiches have flat meat, or chunky meat.

A sandwich is a food item consisting of one or more types of food, such as vegetables, sliced cheese or meat, placed on or between slices of bread, or more generally any dish wherein two or more pieces of bread serve as a container or wrapper for some other food.

a tortilla is just a large slice of bread, and if buns only count as a single piece, and buns are used in sandwiches, then surely a burrito is a sandwich

No, as they can be held sideways and hoagie bread and hoagie fixings will remain in place. Horizontality is an overlooked but absolutely necessary condition for an item to be a sandwich.

A hot dog can never be held sideways because of its true nature as an open-faced comestible. Its true designation is as a "long tartine", not a sandwich.

This is the definition of a sandwich: A sandwich is a food item consisting of one or more types of food, such as vegetables, sliced cheese or meat, placed on or between slices of bread, or more generally any dish wherein two or more pieces of bread serve as a container or wrapper for some other food.

You are just making things up to seem smart. Hot dogs and burritos are sandwiches
