Is a hot dog a sandwich?

[tbonesteak]

I've debated this elsewhere over the years, curious where this board stands - would you classify a hot dog as a sandwich?

[Wcdhtwn]

Well, I wouldn’t consider a ham sandwich a hot dog. Also hot dogs are served almost exclusively hot, where as heating a sandwich is optional and my guess is the majority are not heated. I guess the bun makes a difference as the bread is really one piece and sandwiches are usually two separate slices. Except open face sandwiches, which I think a called sandwiches for lack of a new word. I guess I’d be comfortable saying a hot dog is a sandwich if between two separate pieces of bread. But if a hot dog in a bun wants to identify as a sandwich I won’t put up objections.

No. A Hot dog’s, a Hot Dog.

Is a sausage link between 2 slices of bread a hot dog? Is an omelette tossed and turned... Scrambled eggs? I've often wondered too

[SearChart]

Maybe. This confuses me.

Also, eating a lot of them does not make you an athlete, or maybe it does?

[dddrees]

That reminds me, are two pieces of bread and nothing in between a sandwich?

[AzPaul]

My Opinion: Not a subset, a separate classification.

If a hot dog were food, not a highly processed food like substance, it would be a sandwich.

Wish sandwich. Two pieces of bread, wish you had some meat.

I wouldn't waste my wish on a hotdog.

IMO any time there is food placed into bread its a sandwich. The type of bread: flat, roll, etc doesn't matter.

In any case a hot dog refers to the meat, not when it is added to bread, right?. So the plain hot dog is a processed piece of meat, nothing more. Maybe its supposed to mean the sandwich but stores sell just the meat and label it hot dogs.

You all eat hotdogs, make mine Prime Rib please.

Don’t care what it’s called just make sure it’s Nathan’s.

I thought that was a Jam Sandwich. As in “take two pieces of bread and jam them together”. It’s explained better in the movie Bachelor Party... Tom Hanks early days.

I thought a jam sandwich was two pieces of bread with jam (jelly) in between. Maybe this too would be poll worthy.

I'm not sure, you tell me?

Do you consider tortillas to be bread? If so, would tacos and quesadillas be considered a sandwich?

They are not bread. They are chips (glorified Dorito’s). A taco is a modified nacho salad.

If I knew how they were made.... I probably wouldn't eat them.

I think flour tortillas would qualify as bread.

[GradyPhilpott]

I'll eat a hot dog maybe once every five years, but I do consider them to be sandwiches.

However, the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council disagrees.

"Limiting the hot dog's significance by saying it's 'just a sandwich' is like calling the Dalai Lama 'just a guy.' Perhaps at one time its importance could be limited by forcing it into a larger sandwich category (no disrespect to Reubens and others), but that time has passed," NHDSC president and 'Queen of Wien' Janet Riley says in the release. (Yes, "Queen of Wien" is a thing, apparently.)

"We therefore choose to take a cue from a great performer and declare our namesake be a 'hot dog formerly known as a sandwich,'" she continues.

What about Soft Tacos or Fajitas?

“Flour” is any kind of ground grain. The wheat tortilla is less crispy than the corn tortilla, but neither has any bread like qualities beyond the basic grain ingredient.

Unleavened bread (no yeast/rising agent) = tortillas, matzo, flatbreads et al.

Leavened bread (made with yeast) = conventional bread as we know it.

Wesley Crusher is correct from the standpoint of the 'yeast factor'.

I think we have our answer, how can you argue with the Queen of Wien?

There is no wrong answer, perception IS reality...
