i can tell you it's nigh impossible to get a decent hot dog in the UK. 999 times out of a thousand the onions are the best bit

idgi yall got hogs and factories over there rite

j., Friday, 31 July 2015 19:06 (eight years ago) link

idgi either, we do decent sausages, but everything sold as a hot dog here is either tasteless floor scrapings inflated with water or gristly fake wurst

and don't get me wrong, i like cheap, fatty sausages, but British tradition is that hotdogs shd always be a crushing disappointment

onions are very tasty. would eat an onion tube with diced hot dogs on top.

oh well actually

a hot dog doesn't have proper layers. you should be able to extract a core sample from any point on the horizontal plane of a sandwich and get a similar result.

a topological argument! very creative

j., Friday, 31 July 2015 19:40 (eight years ago) link

Doesn't have proper layers. Pssh. What are 'dark pink membrane' and 'light pink gelatinous slurry' if not layers?

turn the bun on its side, you got uniform layers bread > dog > bread from top to bottom, so ergo it's a sandwich?

bizarro gazzara, Friday, 31 July 2015 19:41 (eight years ago) link

Is the bun hinge a quibbling point? Because you can break that shit and then it's just a hingeless bun like magic.

The core sample argument doesn't work because I could extract a uniform core sample from a cupcake that had been squashed between a rice cake and a slice of watermelon but I don't think very many people would call that a sandwich.

i believe our friend slugbuggy was proposing it as a test the hot dog fails, not one makes anything passing it a sandwich

j., Friday, 31 July 2015 19:53 (eight years ago) link

fun will m fact: i used to eat hot dogs sideways so they would be more "sandwich-like" with bread on top and bottom
fun hot dog fact: is a sandwich

Bouncy Castlevania (Will M.), Friday, 31 July 2015 19:56 (eight years ago) link

there's the concept of toppings, which suggests the open portion of the hot dog is the nominal up side, the toppings go on top. you can turn that sideways if you want to, i guess.

slugbuggy, Friday, 31 July 2015 20:03 (eight years ago) link

hamburger toppings go in the middle! wait do we even call those toppings? i'm confused. do we even call them toppings on hot dogs?!

Bouncy Castlevania (Will M.), Friday, 31 July 2015 20:04 (eight years ago) link

they go on top of the meat

j., Friday, 31 July 2015 20:05 (eight years ago) link

but are they called hamburger toppings?

Bouncy Castlevania (Will M.), Friday, 31 July 2015 20:08 (eight years ago) link

yes

j., Friday, 31 July 2015 20:08 (eight years ago) link

Are they called hamburger toppings if they're on a hot dog?

NOT A SANDWICH

difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 31 July 2015 20:30 (eight years ago) link

nobody leaves ilx

meat on a bun is never not a sandwich

Bouncy Castlevania (Will M.), Friday, 31 July 2015 20:41 (eight years ago) link

inclined to agree with VG
i.e. i wd not call a hot dog a sandwich & can't think of any ordinary language occasion in which i or anyone else wd do so

i say this as a latter-day wittgensteinian
& as a woman (only anecdotal data so far but there seems to be gender split on this question)

What if you gave someone a pastrami on rye and said, here eat this. And they ate it and after you ate it you said, did you enjoy your SANDWICH? And they said yes, establishing an implicit mutual agreement that it was a sandwich. Only then you reveal that you secretly put ground up hot dog between the pastrami and like the lettuce or whatever you put on a pastrami and rye. And they say, oh you got me, guess a hot dog can be a sandwich, good one.

Philosophers are often like little children, who first scribble random lines on a piece of paper with their pencils, and now ask an adult "What is that?".

drash, Friday, 31 July 2015 21:02 (eight years ago) link

A cut-up hot dog in a bowl of milk is cereal. We can all at least start from that indisputable point.

A philosopher easily gets into the position of an incompetent manager who, instead of getting on with his own hotdogs and just keeping an eye on his employees to make sure they do theirs properly, takes over their hotdogs until one day he finds himself overloaded with other people's hotdogs, while his employees look on and criticize him.

ground up hot dog is not 'hot dog'
