Is a hot dog a sandwich?

[Lord-Shadow]

My friends and I, have had a mild argument about this topic. I am dying to know what everyone thinks.

I would say yes. It's a warm sandwich - sausage on a bun.
If you sliced a sausage down the middle long ways, grilled it, and put it between two pieces of bread like a der Wienerschnitzel polish sandwich, it would be a sandwich, right?

You can't pack one in your lunch, but you can't pack a burger or any other warm sandwich, either.

No , its not a sandwich.

Its a piece of highly processed sht , in amongst a highly highly processed bun.

Certainly , not my definition of a sandwich , but I also would not eat a highly processed sandwich , so I consider a sandwich to be between two slices of bread , I'd only eat one that was quality bread , and non processed filling.

It's a bun, like hamburger. In my perception a sandwich is made of two bread pieces.
However I think it differs between English or non-English native speaker, because sandwich is an English term. In languages I speak natively it's just a 'slice of bread' or 'cut of bread'

i asked this question like 4 years ago on here lol gave me some flashbacks

you can look at that if you actually do want some more answers, but uh... yeah, it is a sandwich

[AI Opinion]

The hot dog debate is a classic! In a culinary sense, a hot dog could be considered a sandwich, as it involves a filling—usually a hot dog sausage—placed within a bun, similar to any typical sandwich structure. However, culturally and traditionally, many people view a hot dog as its own distinct entity. It's much like how sushi rolls are separate from traditional sandwiches despite having similar layers. 🍽️

Yes. It's something edible between 2 pieces of bread, the simplest definition of a sandwich.

[Nikki1989]

It is barely food, let alone a sandwich.

[OlderAndWiser]

This is a typical needless and silly argument. The answer depends on how you define "sandwich." Provide a detailed definition and I'll easily answer the question.

[lightbulb27]

a hot dog... no-one really knows what what that is. it might actually be dog depending upon where was blended.

we know what a bun is...

sandwich... I defer to answer.

No, of course not. A sandwich is defined as two separate slices of bread, between which lie whatever it is you've decided to place there.

[Lord-Shadow]

At Subway the restaurant, they don’t separate the bread but it’s still a sandwich there.

[zagor]

If someone asked me if I wanted a sandwich and then handed me a hot dog, I would consider it a misleading ask. Although I suppose it could be considered such on its properties alone, I don't think many people think of it as one.

[exitseven]

it is a sandwich. If it makes you feel any better you can cut it completely into two separate pieces/

[genericname85]

only if the buns aren't still attached to each other.

[joshjosh1156]

Technically yes. So is a taco

[Aiko_E_Lara]

By itself, no. With bun, yes

[Aiko_E_Lara]

When people say hot dog, it literally means just the hot dog. If you ask is hot dog a sandwich then no but if you ask is hot dog on a bun a sandwich then yes.

[dreamstar72]

To me it’s more of a mini-sub

[OfDeath]

It’s extremely similar if not exactly that.

[beefcakebradybatson]

I don't eat hot dogs, but I guess so.

[Anonymous]
