As Wikipedia defines it: "A sandwich is a food typically consisting of 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 another food type."
The keyword here is "slices of bread." In the article for "Hot Dog," it is said that it is "served in a partially sliced bun." PARTIALLY. If it is only partially sliced, then it is not sliced bread (which will result in "two or more pieces").
So, a hot dog is perhaps partially a sandwich. One can argue that because the "seam" of the hot dog bun typically breaks in two while eating, it is a food rigged to become a sandwich, but this is not true because it is natural for a popsicle to melt into juice, but we don't call a popsicle "juice."
A hot dog is NOT a sandwich, but it may become one during eating. At most, it is a partial sandwich due to its bun being "partial sliced bread."
I say no it's not a sandwich because of the specified bun for it you don't take roast beef and put it in hot dog bun you put it on a slice of bread my plate with gravy so no I don't think a hot dog is a sandwich a hot dog is a hot dog and a sandwich is a sandwich two different things that's just my opinion
Yes a hot dog is a sandwich
A hot dog on a bun is technically an open-faced sandwich. No it's not on two separate pieces of bread, but the bun is cut in a way to specifically emulate two pieces of bread while holding everything inside. An open-faced sandwich can be anything on top of a single piece of bread eaten as you would eat a normal sandwich
So the real question isn't "Is a hot dog a sandwich?" The real question is "Is an open-faced sandwich a real sandwich?"
If an open-faced sandwich isn't a real sandwich, then the hotdog still gets to be sandwich, just not a real sandwich. If an open-faced sandwich is a real sandwich (it has sandwich in the name), then yes a hot dog is a real sandwich
I clicked No thinking this would be obvious and a unanimous poll.
What? Who the fuck are these people voting yes?
That's it. I've had it. Pineapple on pizza, the other day I saw someone talking about putting chocolate on chips, now this.
Fire up the gas chambers, humankind is long overdue another holocaust.
lmfao!!! yeah we have to many god damn idiots in this world...
@CountessSarah Why would I be hurt by a (yet) baseless claim?
@adamshunglol Care to explain the logic behind that claim?
I just enjoy annoying people and wasting their time which apparently worked, judging by the fact you took your time to answer.
This argument has been unsolved for ages with several different sources (including the national hot dog organization or something) giving different responses. A single individual can't say jack in this matter.
And sorry if my normal response is not normal enough for you, can't do anything about that.
lmfao... this is awesome!
@CountessSarah
And another 20 seconds added.
Once again, why would I get "pissy" about this? You don't get angry at a child saying "Bread is an animal!", you simply try to give the individual with a lack of knowledge on the subject an alternative viewpoint (a source for example).
And once again, this is not what I sound like when I get pissy, for that you'd need to have someone who can actually be taken serious.
@adamshunglol
Glad you're enjoying yourself too! It just seems like it might not hold on much longer, "whatever" is a classical "run away"-response.
oh no she didn't, why am i hard... totally jk
Indeed it is, that's an extraordinary observational ability you have there (though there's usually also meat, Watson). Sadly, you missed the point of a question (like this thread). It's usually desired to receive an answer to a question one made and those are the most profitable if they're correct.
Scroll to the top darling. There is a question (including a poll) about whether hot dogs are sandwiches. It's also what you wrote about in your first comment besides gas chambers (might wanna get that memory checked).
And what clues have I supposedly missed? I simply corrected a wrong statement, disregarding it's seriousness and someone started talking about people being "pissy". Now we're here.
It is not, the two parts of the bread are not completely separated
www.euroclassicimports.com/.../...buns-imports.jpg
and although they may separate with movement, still no sandwich
And if we talk about European buns, the answer is still no.

Nope, at least not in my country.
Sandwich is a type of food made of meat (e. g salami) and/or cheese, with various condiments and vegetables, placed between two slices of bread, or on one slice of bread (if it's an open-faced sandwich).
Hot-Dog is a wiener sausage in a bun (bread roll), usually with mustard or some other spicy condiment.
You just described the same thing twice.
@anonymiss15 Nope, I described two things but you can't understand the difference.
actually, it's you who fails to understand.
@anonymiss15 Nope, I understand perfectly, unlike you. Two slices of bread is not the same as bread rolls (buns).
okay girl.
honestly I want to murder people who say stuff like that when I worked at 5 guys people who ask for a pork sandwich and I would have no idea what they are talking about. and when I worked at taco Bell lots of people would call items on the menu sandwiches and I would rage so hard inside
A hotdog is a hotdog is a hotdog is a hotdog is a hotdog is a hotdog is a hotdog, no ifs or buts. There is nothing else it can be. It rules supreme. It is the omnipotent of foodstuffs. No sandwich could ever begin to emulate it. It stands proud in a league of its own. Did I say I like HOTDOGS.
I disagree. a hotdog on a tooth pick is an appetizer, a hotdog on a stick covered in corn meal is a carnival treat, A hot dog on a bun is a sandwich and a hot does stuffed in your but is a dildo. They are have distinct differences that set them apart, especially the last one
When you go anywhere that sells sandwiches and hot-dogs, do you ever see them listed under the same thing? I think not. Therefore hot-dogs are not sandwiches and people who say they are NEEDS to eat a sandwich before they eat my fist.
It's got bread on two sides of the meat in the middle. I think that qualifies it as a sandwich. Just because we usually have a special kind of bun for it wouldn't change that!
Well of course it is. Any culture that does bread (leavened or otherwise) does sandwiches. I think what's more interesting is that every culture that I can think of does tube meat.
It's like calling Miley Cyrus a singer, while technically true, it doesn't look like one or sound like one and it's really hard to believe it's true.
Now this is a real hot dog
memestatic.fjcdn.com/.../c23267_6253157.jpg
Its not the fucking same thing because a hotdog bun is split and still attached. A sandwich isn't attached.
so is a sandwich made with flatbread not a sandwich?
@anonymiss15 Define sandwich.
I'm asking in your opinion based on what that is.
It is not a sandwich and I refuse to believe otherwise
Nope. Not unless you forgo the traditional hot dog bun for slices of bread. A sandwich is two or more slices of bread with a filling between them.
It's a piece of meat between bread, It's a sandwich to me.
careful... you may attract the attention of the illuminati...
u Define "sandwich." Meat between two pieces of bread? Yes, it is a sandwich.
Well technically it's meat between two pieces of bread... so maybe? I don't know since I never thought of it that way lol
It's more of a 'bun' than a sandwich. But it's an interesting thought.
Hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken sandwiches and Philly Cheesesteaks, and a lot of others are all, usually, on buns but considered sandwiches.
@altruistatheart Maybe in America but they're also (well most of them, I don't know what a Philly Cheesesteak is) are also eaten worldwide. I like the Australian version, it's nice & simple:
Between two slices of bread - Sandwich
In a pita or similar flat bread - Wrap
Filling inside a bun - Bun
Filling inbetween two bun halves - Burger
I've also heard Americans tend to call chicken burgers (like say, the McChicken for example) chicken sandwiches, is that right?
its an open faced sandwich like a sub sandwich. although its more relatable to a bbq sandwich like pulled pork than a deli sandwich like an Italian coldcut
Its got meat inside of bread, thats enough for me. Sandwich!
no they don't even consider them sandwiches in restraunts.
I don't really see any reason why it wouldn't be, its like, what else is it then.
I'd say so the dog is in a bun covers top and bottom defo a sandwich
absolutely not! and niether are subs you heathans lol
you have a bad attitude buddy
i hope so, Im as far from the left as your hotdog
A hotdog bun is one piece of bread a sandwich consists of two slices of bread. If you slice up a hotdog and put it in between two slices of bread that ould be a sandwich.
is a dead processed pig or turkey in bread even proper food?
It is for me coming off that grill. As long as it's 100% all beef and not made with chicken, pork and fillings? I don't eat the processed ones.
Muhahaha. What is the essential element of a sandwich? Gotta love that Kantian shenanigan lol.
Yes! This is one the closest held secrets in the Universe!
It has all the familiar symptoms of a sandwich, so why not? :D
Not unless you cut it length wise and put it in a two pieces of bread.
Hotdog with buns is the same as any other sandwiches.
No one puts ketchup on their hotdog absolutely no one except the Junkyard Dog
technically speaking its a piece of vread with meat in between but that if the weiner is meat lol
I don't think so. it is a single piece of meat on a single piece of bread
Meat between 2 pieces of bread, ketchup kraut relish. Yes it is
Of course, my hot dog is sandwiched between her buns.
do you put dogs in your sandwiches?
yes, but only if they're hot, lol.
I refuse to believe it.
I had one for lunch and would have to say no
Technically, but it's a pretty shitty sandwich.
A hot dog isn't even food.
no. I dont think so. I never thought of this lol
Yes, it is. Jesus said so.
i think it would be a sandwich
what a time to be alive
A hot dog is its own class (like the taco)
A hotdog is not. A hotdog on a bun is.
Its a hot dog, but technically, yes.
Technically it's a burger 😉
technically a burger could be a sandwich
Bread, with filling; Sandwich
FUCK YOU! I'm sick of that bullshit.
I would think so but i could be wrong
Or is a taco.
But with bread.
Jk. It's not.
no it's a hot 🐕
yea a hot dog
nope not at all
@SnowHearth
Hotdog bun is two slices. Top and bottom. Have a nice day.
@Robin48 saying that is like saying each leg of these pants is separate piece of clothing

@Robin48 gee thanks for pointing out that were at the same exper level, that your almost 20 years older than me, and yet so much more immature for your age, and that you feel the need to try so hard to belittle my opinion based on the facts that im female and that i have a different opinoin to you, which i have decided to take as a compliment, since my opinions seem to have effected your ego to such a large scale
no it's not
It kind of is.
yes it is
yes it is
