the meat is still in the middle. Just imagine an imaginary piece of bread on top of the open face of the sandwich.

I mean, I can imagine some caramelized sugar on top but that doesn't make it a creme brulee.

 

[NESpowerhouse]

No. Sandwich requires two slices of bread.

What about a sub roll that is not cut all the way? Is that not a sandwich?

 

[Kraftwerk]

What did the other 5% say?

As I said, they made random comments. I even made a picture for my future presentation about hot dogs

 

[Walter White Walker]

No, it's a hotdog.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

Yes, it's a sandwich.

No, ketchup does not belong on it.

You're half right.

 

[The Beard]

For those on #teamsandwich, do you consider cereal a type of soup?

You're animals.

 

[old manatee]

"I would like one hot dog sandwich, please!"

 

[iMax]

What about a sub roll that is not cut all the way? Is that not a sandwich?

No it's a baguette

 

[Vinsanity.]

It's a sandwich when its in a hot dog bun..

#teamSandwich

 

[Archaix]

No, but I have no justification for this opinion and it's probably wrong.

If it wasn't specifically a hot dog but another type of sausage, I'd almost certainly call it a sausage sandwich, or a hoagie which is just plainly a type of sandwich.

But a hot dog? For some reason, no.

 

[andymcc]

this is a travesty of a topic.

no its not a sandwich

mustard is the superior condiment for it.

 

[Kraftwerk]

No it's a baguette

Isn't a hot dog bun a mini baguette though??!!?

 

[VeryGooster]

A sandwich is a hot dog

 

[cirrhosis]

For those on #teamsandwich, do you consider cereal a type of soup?

You're animals.

cereal is verifiably a soup

 

[The Beard]

A sandwich is a hot dog

You're really thinking outside the bun.

 

[thechristoph]

So we need make a list of criteria. These are the things that typically make a sandwich a sandwich.

Portable
Contents supported by bread
Wider than tall
Eaten by hand
Can be augmented with condiments, cheese, veggies

Et cetera

Then we need to define how many of those boxes must be checked for it to pass. If it's unanimous, then various things that are considered a sandwich will not pass muster. And other things that are not considered sandwiches will suddenly become sandwiches retroactively.

For example, my criteria dictates that pizza is a sandwich.

These are the unfortunate truths that we learn as we careen toward adulthood.

 

[Sanjuro]

You're half right.

Lies.

 

[NESpowerhouse]

No it's a baguette

So now it's the type of bread that determines if a piece of cuisine is a sandwich or not?

 

[TAJ]

"I would like one hot dog sandwich, please!"

You could make the same argument against almost any sandwich, though.

"I would like one BLT sandwich, please."
"I would like one Reuben sandwich, please."

Sounds just as weird.

 

[NESpowerhouse]

cereal is verifiably a soup

Pretty sure soup requires some sort of broth base.

 

[dity]

It's a sub sandwich.

 

[cirrhosis]

Pretty sure soup requires some sort of broth base.

is gazpacho a soup?

 

[iMax]

Isn't a hot dog bun a mini baguette though??!!?

Yes

 

[Alavard]

You were almost a Jill hot dog!

 

[NESpowerhouse]

is gazpacho a soup?

I don't know, but it looks delicious.

 

[AKyemeni]

Is ketchup a smoothie?

 

[PSqueak]

If you think about it, it's like the fusion of a sandwich and a taco.

 

[Arthr2ShdsJcksn]

Of course its a sandwich. Those who disagree cannot read a dictionary.

 

[Jackpot]

I would say they're related. I wouldn't consider a burger a sandwich despite it meeting all the criteria. Maybe used to be part of sandwich family but is now big enough to be its own thing.

 

[QuantumZebra]

No it's a fucking hotdog

first post

 

[Morat]

is gazpacho a soup?

Yup. And normally served with croutons

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

No it's a fucking hotdog

Perfect first post for a change.

 

[Sanjuro]

Perfect first post for a change.

If only it was accurate. Would have been super perfect. :/

 

[SocksAndShoes]

You sure about that?

Sandwich (noun) - two or more slices of bread or the like with a layer of meat, fish, cheese, etc., between each pair.

[LUFTRAUSER]

No it's a fucking hotdog

First post wins again.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

If only it was accurate. Would have been super perfect. :/

It is.
No one says or thinks "I'm going to make a hotdog sandwich".

 

[Zeta Oni]

A hotdog is as much of a sandwich as cereal is soup.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

A hot dog alone is a cooked piece of sausage.

A hot dog served on a bun is a sandwich.

It's really just a street food though.

 

[geardo]

Not this shit again...

Then what does Subway make?

 

[Sinatar]

Then what do you call a sub?

Sub is short for Submarine Sandwich.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

No, only a single piece of bread.

 

[Sanjuro]

It is.
No one says or thinks "I'm going to make a hotdog sandwich".

No. Why would they use that phrasing?

How often have you had a sausage hotdog sandwich?

 

[F0rneus]

It is not a sandwich. And if you put ketchup in one, you are possessed and need an exorcism.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

It is not a sandwich. And if you put ketchup in one, you are possessed and need an exorcism.

I not only put ketchup on it(and mustard) but I'm also from Chicago.
Come at me, bros.

 

[natsuyasumi]

It's a hybrid sausage / sandwich, pretty revolutionary if you think about it.

We'd have more foods like this if milquetoast lawmakers stopped stifling innovation.

 

[Tom Nook]

Yes.

 

[BronsonLee]

If only it was accurate. Would have been super perfect. :/

@ me next time you bastahd

"Or the like" is the key to this..

 

[Sanjuro]

No, only a single piece of bread.

When you eat a sandwich, both pieces of bread are raised from different farms?!
