Is a hot dog a sandwich?

[GuyBeardmane]

What say you?

[Mini_ghost420]

no. just no. whoever mislabeled should be ashamed of themselves

Meat between two pieces of bread, sure. If a hamburger can be called a sandwich, so can a hotdog.

your momma seems the most appropriate response i can muster.

I'm a firm believer that a sandwich has two slices of bread where as a hotdog is merely placed into a sliced piece of bread

[nameraka]

and while we're on the subject, is this a pie?

A lot of sandwich shops cut their bread like that though. Instead of two separate slices, they're still attached on one side and the meat and other fillings placed inside like a pocket.

true. this begs the question as to whether or not a lobster roll is a sandwich.

I agree - that is not Polish Sausage, they should be ashamed.

Quote

Colbert brought up one of "the most divisive issues in our country": whether a hot dog is truly a sandwich.

"Is a hot dog a sandwich?" Colbert asked Ginsburg, to which she quickly replies, "You tell me what a sandwich is and then I'll tell you if a hot dog is a sandwich."

Sandwich is a vacuous term with no inherent meaning.

Not to suggest that isn't true of all words, but sandwich seems above average in this regard.
The question "is X a Y" is seldom really about whether or not it is, but rather how comfortable one is with loose definitions. And the definition most under scrutiny is neither that of X nor Y, but of "is".

Then maybe we should start calling sandwiches hot dogs?

Some people do put tomatoes in fruit salads.

I've had a salad with tomatoes, peaches, and mozzarella with balsamic dressing that was delicious. So yeah, it's a sandwich, bitches.

Why?  Do they lump Ska, Punk, Prog, Art & Pop under "Classic Rock" as well?  The swine!

No truth to the rumor that a town called "Bologna" is going up in between these towns...

[KimopoBotar]

Technically yes, sensibly no, but in reality, who cares?

I've never heard ska considered classic rock. I've never even heard it on a classic rock station. 

Of course, I like ska, so i don't listen to the radio very much. Maybe i missed it.

The Specials (Monkey Man) & Madness (One Step Beyond) made it on rock stations.  Probably a few others I've forgotten.

Your station is better than mine. I've never gotten to hear the specials on the radio. We do get a few 3rd wave songs like once a year i guess, but it's incredibly rare.

I agree, but what about patty melts? Those are like weird hybrid sandwiches.

a patty melt is a sandwich. so is a hamburger using normal bread as a substitute. it has to be on a round bun to be a hamburger

I don't know if that's codified anywhere, but it should be. That's a good place to draw the line. 

[Mini_ghost420]

I should be in charge of the department of codifying the definitions of things. lose definitions are a pet peeve of mine
