FUN FACTS - 150 million hot dogs will be eaten on July 4th (Independence Day) in the United States. Not sure how many Joey Chestnut will eat this year in Nathan's hot dog eating contest at Coney Island... in 2021, he set a record of eating 76 hotdogs and buns (HDB) in 10 minutes.

That is one of the many questions that will ponder people for generations & as for me I’ll classify a hotdog as a sandwich if you cut the bun completely in half therefore creating two pieces of bread.

If a hotdog is a sandwich is a hamburger a sandwich as well?
Is cereal soup?

Sandwich:
An item of food consisting of (two pieces of bread) with meat, cheese, or other filling between them, eaten as a light meal.

Bun:
A bread roll of various shapes and flavorings, typically sweetened and often containing dried fruit.

I voted no because you asked if a hot dog is a sandwich. I would've voted yes if you asked if a hot dog ON BUN is a sandwich.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I want to keep it short.

Hot dogs aren't sandwiches.

Hot dogs on bun are sandwiches.

[AviatorTom]

Understood

[Red-Blaze]

Yes it is
And just a small fix there a samwitch is a food where 2 or more elements of the same type (commonly bread) are used to hold diffrent items between them
So Oreo is a samwitch as well

[LiamSawyer]

Everybody knows that! They have been sold as a sandwich cookie since they were first made

[LiamSawyer]

Hotdogs are only on one piece of bread (bun) that has been split to accept the dog and toppings so not a sandwich.

[Red-Blaze]

Its still a sandwich as its between the buns bread that is held by bread, its two slices of the same bun
most sandwiches will be made of the same bread slices as there best to fit

[LiamSawyer]

Generally they're not slices of the same bun as the bun is rarely sliced in two it's only split.

[Red-Blaze]

So if you push the sausage a little or it wets and splits it then turns to a sandwich?
Its a sandwich to begin with
If maybe you make a hole in the middle and shove a sausage inside.. then there is debate
but on this case the stoping before the end of the cut is a matter of convince of keeping it one part
Its a style, but the center is very much the same and its task keeping its status as a sandwich :)

[LiamSawyer]

Never had it split from moving the weiner how do you manage to get it wet by spilling your fifteenth beer on it?

[Red-Blaze]

Different bread I guess 😅
The edge here is really really thin most times tears easily

[Red-Blaze]

Thanks for MHO

It's a category of sandwich. The real question is should people who split the bun horizontally be cast out of society.

[ChrisMaster69]

It is a type of sandwich, these include a variety of things and also include legal requirements.

[Citizenkirk]

It is an intestinal casing of questionably processed mistery meat, sandwiched between two halves of a long narrow bun. That is as close as it comes, to being defined as a sandwich.

[OlderAndWiser]

Tell me your definition of "sandwich" and I can answer the question. If a sandwich is meat between two slices of bread, then a hot dog is a sandwich. But I'm sure there is some contrasting definition that leads to a different answer.

[Massageman]

I guess it would also have to depend on someone's definition of what constitutes "meat". With all the milk powder, water/ice slurry, fat trimmings, corn syrup, etc., some might question including it in the "meat " category.

[NamerOfStars]

If the bread being in one piece instead of two is the issue, then would slicing it change that?

Look, let's compromise- a hot dog is a taco. Would THAT work?

[Dinklex3]

No.
A standard whole weiner between sliced bread cannot be a sandwich.

[NathanDavis]

that is clearly and absolutely one piece of bread... lol

[LiamSawyer]

Actually it's a sausage in one piece of bread split to accept the sausage. And toppings.

[CloudMassacre]

If I have a heel of bread and put peanut butter and jelly in it and then fold it, it’s a pb&j sandwich. I feel the same applies for a hotdog

[andreasderjuengere]

Hot Dogs -to me- are in a kind of cultural and culinary grey zone.

[joeldalton]

A hot dog is a sausage. In a bun with condiments it becomes a sandwich.

[Iron_Man]

No it’s not but don’t forget to watch the hotdog getting competition today with Joey Chestnut

[Jupiter1]

By itself, it's not. It's not yet a sandwich if it's not sandwiched between pieces of bread.

[mandyfire98]

I'm going to say yes.

[call_me_scar]

It's an American taco

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Outstanding answer, I love it.

[ArrowheadSW]

Hummm... I've never thought of that...

[exitseven]

yes, a hot dog is a samdwich.

[Smashingdoozy]

No it's a taco

[exitseven]

hahahahha that just made me laugh. Thanks for that.

[Creampiekarl420]

I guess so I mean it’s pretty much a sub

[WhitneySnow]

Yeah I guess

[loveslongnails]

No, it's a hot dog.
