Is a hotdog a sandwich?
I thought about this a lot recently after someone said it,
my opinion is that
No, a hotdog is not a sandwich because it is meat inside of a single piece of bread. If you accidentally broke the bun into two pieces you could argue that you've made a hotdog sandwich because the meat is still called a hotdog and you've got two pieces of bread. That some sub sandwiches are a single nearly split piece of bread I view as an implementation detail moreso than a defining characteristic and not enough to say that sandwiches can be a single piece of bread.It’s a taco.
That’s a type of sandwich
Like a hot dog or cuban
Bread is a requirement for something to be a sandwich, so you'll have to convince me that a tortilla is bread. You might be able to make a case for the soft flour tortilla, but I just don't see how hard corn tortillas can possibly fit under the umbrella of "bread".
If naan is bread and corn bread is bread then naan corn bread is bread
If we assume toast is still bread then your hard corn tortillas are still bread
Are waffles bread? Doughnuts? Deepfry batter? Ricecakes? Mushrooms? Potatoes? Peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, apples? Cabbage? Egg? Cheese?
I've seen all of these used to make what can only be called sandwiches. Bread is certainly popular for it's dry and durable structure, but it's not a requirement.
Is Subway not a sandwich then if the bread isn't split into two pieces?
Sub bread is often split. It's just the type of roll used. I'd consider Hot Dogs a small sub or hoagie, just like a sausage, peppers and onions hoagie.
It’s a sub
Reminds me of “The Cube Rule”, which argues that a hot dog is a taco!
Sometimes if I only want a small sandwich I just use one slice of bread folded over itself. Is that not a sandwich then?
In my opinion, no. I've alerted the sandwich police.
That's a sanga
Open face sandwich.
Hoagie, po' boy, hero, grinder.
Lots of split bread or one bread sandwiches.
One could argue that bread slices are a loaf that was split/divided.
I'm calling a slice something that makes the bread into two pieces and a split something that opens it up while still being one piece.
The existence of "open faced" sandwiches makes your argument invalid.
Those are actually hot dogs
Their seems to be no end to the sandwich debate but I want to point out that their are many sandwich, hot dog included where the bread is not separated. I would said a sandwich is made of two parts. That includes separated sandwich like club sandwich, and non-separated sandwich like baguette sandwich or hot-dog.
