So a sub-sandwich is actually a Taco?

A Hot Dog is a Hot Dog. Not a Sandwich. A Burger is a Burger. Not a Sandwich. A Sandwich is a Sandwich.

A Hot Dog is a Hot Dog. Not a Sandwich. A Burger is a Burger. Not a Sandwich. A Sandwich is a Sandwich.

100%... this is correct

If Mary Poppins can be a horror movie then a hotdog can be a samich.

In the real world, neither is true.

Momma said I can be anything I want to be. I told my hot dog the same, it chooses to be a sandwich.

From one ravioli to another, I thought that this was interesting. Now I'm going to eat something. Maybe pop tarts.

A sloppy Joe is a sandwich. But in our house, we use hot dog buns (less sloppy). I would say our sloppy joes are still considered a sandwich, so the shape of the bun doesn’t matter to qualify. And the content of a sandwich shouldn’t matter either, so I am going with:

A hot dog is a sandwich

I was on the fence with this for years but I've been won over and now am firmly in the camp it is a Christmas movie.

A hot dog may or may not be a sandwich, but WTF kind of website design is that? Just awful. Could have presented the same information in a quarter of the space.

I did not include hot dogs in my sandwich countdown, but that was mainly because I didnt want to open the can of worms allowing hot dogs/burgers/tacos in. Wanted to focus on traditional, classic sandwiches for the most part.

Of course nobody. But, this is a message board. Isn't this is the socially acceptable place to argue about unimportant things??

I've finally decided my position on whether it's a hot dog and I'm surprised by my own outcome.

Definitionally, it's hard to disagree with those arguing it's a sandwich. Nonetheless, it just isn't a sandwich and I'm choosing to borrow the famous line from Jacobellis v. Ohio and utilize a "I know it when I see it" standard to sandwiches. Quite simply, when I look at a hot dog I just don't see a sandwich.

The reality is that if somebody says sandwich I'm thinking a bunch of stuff strategically placed together with flavors to complement one another inside likely two slices of bread or a roll. A hot dog is just different to me and while it's hard to articulate why, I'm in the "not a sandwich" camp due to colloquial understanding.

So a sub-sandwich is actually a Taco?

If you don't completely slice the bread into two pieces.

 

[Willie Neslon]

A hot dog could be considered a sandwich if there were a hot dog loaf in the deli case. If a deli worker took that loaf and sliced it like ham or salami, you could then put those slices between two pieces of bread, similar to how you would with sliced turkey or roast beef, and add your choice of condiments. In that case, you might call it a "Hot Dog Sandwich." However, since we typically eat hot dogs in their link form, served in a hot dog bun, they are not sandwiches. They are simply "hot dogs". And good grief they’re not tacos.

So a chicken parm sandwich or a banh mi or meatball sandwich arent sandwiches? The meat specifically needs to be sliced?

Meatballs are usually sliced in some form. Chicken breasts are often pounded to create a flatter shape, making them ideal for sandwiches. In banh mis, pork belly is cut into slabs. Good day.

I agree with a “I know it when I see it” standard, but I don’t think a sandwich needs to be a bunch of stuff. I’d consider a grilled cheese with just one kind of cheese melted inside a sandwich.

I tend to agree. Can't say why though...

I've had plenty of non-sliced meatball sandwiches. Having a requirement for the meat to be sliced is a very odd one and does not work.

I've also had steak sandwiches where the steak is not sliced. Pulled pork is shredded, not sliced. A lobster roll is not sliced. Fried chicken sandwich is not sliced. I can go on and on.

It was referred as a "hamburger sandwich" in the late 1800s.

This cartoon goes way back. Make note that he says "hamburger" and not "hamburger sandwich".

Putting hard rules on what makes a sandwich is never going to work because there will always be exceptions.

We just have to live with the definition of "meat and/or other ingredients in between bread", knowing that there are exceptions that stand on their own like hot dogs and burgers and might only tangentially be referred to as a sandwich.

You don't. I was responding to his specific examples.

At least I can understand the logic of people who say a burger is a sandwich, even if they're fundamentally wrong. But a hot dog? Go home, you're drunk

I'd say 80% of the meatball subs I've had are full meatballs on the sub roll.
