Are hot dogs (in buns) sandwiches? (1 Viewer)

[gopherblue]

I do not have extraordinarily high standards for cleanliness in restaurants, but I would never eat a hot dog from a hot dog cart.

what about the roadside hotdog stand? You know those tiny little buildings with just enough room to grill hotdogs and sell them out of a window?

Frankly (har!), me either. But from Gray's Papaya On 72nd and Broadway? Hellz yeah.

In my opinion a sandwich has a top and bottom bread. A hot dog is more kin to a hoagie in that it is open on top.

I don't like hot dogs, and don't really care. I'm killing time waiting for the doctor to check me out after getting rear ended on my way to work this morning.

Amazing how I have already received 3 phone calls and a text from lawyers and doctor soliciting firms.

Playing devil's advocate here, because I'm 100% in the "not a sandwich" camp, but if the limitation is that it's open on end, is a corn dog a sandwich?

is a corn dog a sandwich?

Judge @jbutler ruled a few pages ago that the pretzel dog I posted a few pages back was not a sandwich.

By extension, I have to assume he would rule a corn dog is not a sandwich.

Definitely not a sandwich, but also definitely superior to most hot dogs.

Hope we can get some "Sandwich Only" tables at BBotB this year. Not sure the event will remain civil otherwise.

@jbutler
where do you stand on Pluto?

Sorry, had to answer this

Notable that OP has not denied Weiner-induced trauma that resulted in sammich PSD.

Sweden, Sweden of all places, also having all kinds of sammich problems.

I had drinks with friends tonight and I brought up this topic. It was great fun conversation for 30-40 minutes.

Not a fan of musicians taking such hard political stances.

I have absolutely nothing to contribute to this discussion. I just wanted to post in a (so far) 9 page thread about hot dogs.

Continue.

SAMMICH.

It's meat and toppings surrounded by bread. SAMMICH.

Define "surrounded."

Nope. Not playing semantic games. As the judge said in the porn case, I know it when I see it. SAMMICH.

Yes, yes, but it'll get edited right back to reality, quickly. Not so quickly on the "simple" variant, but the main Wikipedia is pretty damn well policed, and it's a great source for references (by design.)

And there was obviously some "history" with nonsense going on with the main hot dog page - notice the lock in the upper-right corner? The page has been protected since Dec 23, 2016 because of vandalism.

For all that some people like to complain about Wikipedia, the community runs and polices it quite well, and it's a great source for basic info and references.

Normally, I remove vandalism when I spot it, and often fix grammar errors or typos when I spot them... but have decided to leave the spooky ass magic I've spotted, at least for now...

In theory this would make sense but the mods are clearly fucking crazy. They still have a picture of a hot dog with ketchup on it.....madness....

I figured a Canadian would think this way. It's a hot dog. You should focus on.....

Poutin.....curds or cottage cheese?

It's poutine . . . and it's cheese curds. Only a heathen, or an American, would use cottage cheese. Sheesh, no wonder you're confused about a sammich.

On this, at least, we can agree.

 

[superchromix]

Not a sandwich.

Sandwich contents = flat.

Hot dog meat = round.

Taco also not a sandwich (one U shaped bread - sandwich has two breads)

 

[Chicken Rob]

Does the classification of a hotdog being a sandwich in a New England style hot dog bun?

Not confused but some of the Canadian teachers at my school are. They are eating cottage cheese with the poutine and hot dog sandwiches. Talk to them.

My thoughts exatly, BG. I've been on the west coast all week and I saw this thread start the other morning. I am surprised, and not, that this thread has generated 9 pages of discussion.

This is a hot dog sandwich:

The key thing here is the hot dog has been reshaped to a more traditional sandwich filling. If you do the same thing in a hot dog bun, I will even grant that as a hot dog sandwich. A round dog in a bun is not a sandwich.

Did you make these? If so you should seek help. If you are out of hotdog buns, you just fold the bread. The cutting of hotdogs is only for serving them with Spaghetti Os or hiding your dog's medication.

Thankfully, no! It's one of the top images that returned when you Google "Is a hot dog a sandwich."

This is a hot dog sandwich:

To echo an earlier post of mine, that's two hot dog sandwiches.

 

[mooremo]

Uh...bzzzzzzt. So close, Clay, but suboptimal. Apparently, discussion required. Real men eat hotdogs Viking-style:

Behold, the Swedish tunnbrödsrulle: two dogs, mashed potatoes, lettuce, pickle relish, mustard and a big dollop of shrimp salad, all wrapped up in a soft flatbread.

Heaven on earth. And yes, it's a sandwich, bitchezzzz!

Have to disagree, that is a wrap, not a sandwich.

 

[Poker Zombie]

TLDR, but...

Calling a hotdog a sandwich is like calling a moped a motorcycle.

Not cool. Don't do it.

Struggling a bit with this one. If it was a tortilla I'd be on the no sandwich side for sure, but it's flatbread. Life is full of tough decisions.

I'll tell you what that is. It's a fucked up mess....neither a sandwich or a hotdog. The guy who made that probably thinks potato salad is actually a salad.
