Is a Hotdog a Sandwich?

A hotdog is not a sandwich because it's in a bun. I think.:confused2:
 
Agree that is is not a sandwich anymore than a taco is a sandwich. It’s in a category by itself. BTW, I very rarely eat hotdogs, but I eat brats at least a couple times each month. Around here, a brat is different than a hot dog, they are distinct categories and you would never find any local confusing the two or calling a brat a hot dog.

Then they should just leave the hotdogs to Nathan’s, because they’re better at it anyway, and just stick to bologna. A hotdog is in no way, shape, or form a sandwich.

If it's not a sandwich, then what is it? And don't say hotdog.

Is a hamburger a sandwich?

For whatever reason, I think it depends what is between the bread/role.

One that throws a wrench in it is a "sub". You can throw anything between those 2 buns and it's still a "submarine sandwich"...except a hotdog

If the lobster roll is not a sandwich, I think the hot dog is also not a sandwich. So how do we categorize the lobster roll?
 
I maintain that a hot dog is not a sandwich, but then we have this predicament.

No chance I am convinced that a hamburger is a sandwich, but switch that all beef patty with a breast of chicken, and SUDDENLY IT'S A SANDWICH WHAT IS GOING ON?!

You have me on the hotdog, but why is a hamburger not?
 
From Merriam-Webster.com :

Definition of sandwich

(Entry 1 of 3)

1a : two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between

b : one slice of bread covered with food

(https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sandwich)

Ergo, by definition, a hotdog on a bun is indeed a sandwich.
 
It's a bread taco.

And a hamburger is a sandwich.

I'd call it a sub before I'd call it a sandwich haha

Sample: subs vs sandwiches at Jimmy Johns.

You are confusing : )

I'm a complex story.....

That said, I concede the Jimmy Johns sample. They sub classify.
