Is a hotdog a sandwich?
I thought about this a lot recently after someone said it, ::: spoiler 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. :::
Sometimes if I only want a small sandwich I just use one slice of bread folded over itself. Is that not a sandwich then?
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”.
Reminds me of “The Cube Rule”, which argues that a hot dog is a taco!
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.
