is a hotdog a sandwich?
- throwaway91111 9y agoErr—good question. No, not really, but it's difficult to find a reason why it's not. It's meat between bread.
- AstralStorm 9y agoIs-a-kind relationship. Hotdog is a specific kind of a sandwich with a whole sausage (or sausage-like object, heh, vegan hotdogs) in it.
- roflchoppa 9y agoyeah but its meat in between one piece of bread, opposed to two pieces.
- cmdrfred 9y agoWhat else would it be? A pastry? I think because the elements (hot dog and bun) are cooked separately it has to be a sandwich. If you baked the hotdog within the bun and severed it then it would be a pastry to me.
- roflchoppa 9y agono way dude that would be classified under a pretzel derivative.
- tyingq 9y agoIn my vernacular, a hotdog sandwich is a bit different preparation than a regular hotdog. You slice the hotdog meat lengthwise so it will sit flat, then in half so that you have 4 pieces that fit onto regular sliced bread. https://i.imgur.com/5XbzXOr_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=high https://i.imgur.com/5XbzXOr_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&f... Note that is usually done not because it's a better idea. Driven by either lack of funds, or the idiotic practice where buns come in packs of 8, but hotdogs come in packs of 10.
- mc32 9y agoIf an Italian sausage on a roll is a sandwich, why would not a Frankfurter sausage on a bun rather than a roll not be a sandwich?
- rdiddly 9y agoA sandwich has length and width. One can eat in the X or the Y directions. Whereas a hot dog has only length. You can eat it in only one direction. Therefore a hot dog is actually just a degenerate case of a sandwich, where Y = 0. In other words, a hot dog is a one-dimensional or linear sandwich. We'll know humankind has entered a new age of enlightenment & prosperity when we invent cubic sandwiches.
