a hot dog is

any particular reason you've chosen hot dogs for this question j? literally everything can be categorised as either a sandwich or not a sandwich

your mom is

A hot dog sandwich is always a sandwich. A hot dog is sometimes a sandwich. A cheese dog is never a sandwich. A chili dog is two sandwiches, surprisingly enough.

what about a corn dog?

like a 360-degree sandwich

Negative sandwich.

I have seen quasi-serious discussion of whether a hot dog is, or is not, a taco.

I have not seen (until now) discussion of whether a hot dog is a sandwich.

This raises (not begs) questions like: is a sandwich a taco? Is a taco a sandwich? The world awaits.

If stuff-in-a-pita is a sandwich, then why not a quesadilla or calzone?

A pizza folded in half is basically a taco.

A pizza folded in half is basically a taco.

And a taco folded in half is... a messy shirt.

so if you take a couple of slices of frankfurter loaf and spread some egg salad between them that's definitely a sandwich right

yes

a taco folded on itself several times is heading into like a savoury baklava situation imo

Pass gravy and barbecue sauce.

This got me a trip to the emergency room once.

Is this a sandwich y/n

sure why not

ftr I was composing my poll while on a conference call and completely missed mattressless's post

damn this is a hot topic in 2015

john hodgman and hannibal buress and now ILX weighing in

on the menu at the O hot dogs are listed in a separate category from sandwiches, this answers the question, praise be to God

xp greasy finger feeling around in the forearm fat for a faint pulse

euler surely you of all people must see that that could be a merely verbal distinction

back to the meats themselves!!!

tbh I just want a plate of fries from the O

the objectivity of the sandwich is not affected by the fact it is a matter of our arbitrary choice which part of all the food on the earth we mark off and elect to call "the sandwich".

the sandwich fusion

not to be confused with a fusion sandwich

The Weather Report Reuben

is a hot dog identical to a hot dog in a bun

well how could it be if a bun is not nothing

Is a hot dog on a bun more or less of a sandwich if the bun it is on is not a hot dog bun?

this might be a good thread if it were possible to argue that a hot dog is a sandwich, but seeing as it is impossible, no one has taken it up to do so & thus the thread sucks

not unlike the foregone conclusion of a thread polling whether you suck then

oh my goddddd. someone lock this shit and bump the viking thread plz

what even is a sandwich really i mean

"hot dog" is ambiguous about whether it has a bun imo

trying to define the problem away eh

a sandwich is something with another two somethings on the outsides of it

the kfc double down is called a sandwich ffs

XXP come on we're talking about a hot dog in a bun like regular people eat, we're not asking if a hot dog cut up and put in macaroni and cheese is a sandwich, don't add fuel to this not-a-sandwich truther nonsense

But is a hot dog piece between two macaronis a sandwich? Is that just a plateful of mini sandwiches? Things that make you go hmmm.

I am impressed that we got this far before someone wrote "resulting paste"

A pizza folded in half is basically a taco.

i am leaving ILX over this post

things that make me go yummmmm.

crüt, does it soften the blow if I tell you that a flattened taco is also basically a pizza?

Food is basically all the same except for how it's folded, is the takeaway.

basically just excrement with unextracted nutrients, is what you're saying

xxp goddammit, a flattened taco is a tostada, I will brook no opposition on this.

and an unflattened hamburger on a bun is a meatball hoagie, we could do this all day

a hot dog is a sandwich

Tostada is just another name for pizza, iirc?

If you squeeze a hot dog out of the package and into your mouth it's basically a Gogurt.

"Sometimes a hotdog is just a hotdog (by the way, this must be written as one word, as it is a compound noun; "hot dog" describes a dog… that is hot). "

hot dog describes a sandwich
hotdog describes skiing

I'm on Team 'It's a Weird Sandwich, But Close Enough', in part because if it ain't a sandwich, then it's a freak of nature.

I think in degrees of sandwichness. A hot dog is more of a sandwich that than a chair is a sandwich.

But a BLT is more of a sandwich than a hot dog is.

Please see this story in which a man in New Zealand and a man in Spain Noth placed bread on the ground at the same time. For a brief time, the earth and everything on it was a sandwich.

Last night I was thinking that a definition of "sandwich" might be: some sort of protein wrapped in some sort of carbs, which would make you, dear reader, a sandwich—and I am a sandwich, as well.

This is funny, and this may be an idiotic question, but which part of the human body is a carb now?

mmmm parts of yr liver really and that's about it

You are meat in a skin casing. You are a sausage.

“You’d expect supermarkets around the world to have the exact same kind [of bread],” Naude told The World. “Apparently not.”

What?

this debate is a clear broth
