I never paid attention to this thread, Colbert asked Ruth Bader Ginsburg about it last night. "Is a hot dog a sandwich?", and I immediately thought about this thread.
She's awesome

As long as this debate is stretching to infinity... Are skinless hot dogs sausages?
Mr Tree

I say no because the formal definition of sausage explicitly mentions it having a skin:
a cylindrical length of minced and seasoned pork, beef, or other meat encased in a skin, typically sold raw to be grilled, boiled, or fried before eating.

They are sausages because they are made in a skin (usually foodsafe plastic), which is removed once cooked/cured and packaged.
Mr Tree

The definition is explicit that the sausage must be encased in a skin. Not formed in one and removed. With no encasing you have ground meat.

What about salami? A sausage?
Mr Tree
Straight Flush
Salami’s come in a wide variety of forms but original salami’s had skin and even when it doesn’t it typically has a cellulose casing.

Merriam Webster says “usually”
Not explicit.
Of course hot dogs are sausages.

: a highly seasoned minced meat (such as pork) usually stuffed in casings of prepared animal intestine; also : a link or patty of sausage

Mmmmm animal intestine.

First of all, let me say that this thread is fantastic!How about this delicious (and ironic) BLT?
If you put a Hebrew National frank in between two pieces of matzah, is it a sandwich?
Over on The Gear Page (guitars and stuff), there was an ongoing argument about whether a hamburger was a sandwich. Lots of ill will, and possibly some bannings over it!

I do not trust any American dictionary as the language wasn't invented here.
Oxford dictionary: "sandwich; noun: An item of food consisting of two pieces of bread with a filling between them, eaten as a light meal".

Obviously the below is 100% a sandwich, but it would be very hard to argue that it's a light meal.
That's not a sandwich, that's a meat mountain that accidentally fell into some bread.
Only in America...
Define 'bread'.
It would be a light meal for 12 people..
Bread - Food made of flour, water, and yeast mixed together and baked.
Filling - An edible substance placed between the layers of a sandwich, cake, or other foodstuff.
Foodstuff - stuff made of food

That is an abomination. Only acceptable spreads for bagels are: cream cheese, whitefish salad or butter.
