NFT: Is a Hot Dog a Sandwich?

BrettNYG10 : 11/6/2015 9:05 am
The Atlantic says no:

Quote:
Every once in awhile, with a regularity that is both astounding and reassuring, Americans will gather together to raise their voices, lock their eyes, and engage in a passionate, high-stakes debate about one of the grand questions of our time. Is a hot dog a sandwich?

You really can argue it both ways, which is of course what gives the debate so much, er, meat. On the one hand, hot dogs, structurally, hew to that most sandwichy of arrangements: They are processed protein, surrounded by processed carbohydrate. On the other hand, though, hot dogs are cylindrical, rather than sandwichily prismatic, in shape. And vertical, rather than horizontal, in orientation. Oh, and there’s the broad fact that we don’t call them sandwiches, which might suggest that the matter, ongoing debates notwithstanding, has already been settled.

whatever you like, just don't put ketchup on it.

Burgers have a much stronger case

To be called a sandwich.

Hotdog without the bun is still a hotdog. Roast beef sandwich without bread is just roast beef.

is a lobster roll?  
mattlawson : 11/6/2015 9:26 am : link
or anything else on a bun, like sausage peppers and onions? in other words, does the type of roll classify it more as a sandwich? I'm find considering a piece of meat with condiments surrounded by bread a sandwich. To me it's whatever.

Either way, via wikipedia:

"A traditional lobster roll is a sandwich filled with lobster meat soaked in butter and served on a steamed hot dog bun or similar roll"
I take immense joy in eating my hot dogs with ketchup

Do you call the local hot dog specialty restaurant a "sandwich joint"? No, you call it a "hot dog joint". Case closed.

what? you heathens don't stand your hot dogs up on little feet before you eat them?


the whole thing seems to come down to orientation  
mattlawson : 11/6/2015 9:32 am : link
an open faced "sandwich" on a sub roll then is also not a sandwich. a sub is not a sandwich apparently either.

the more you unpack it the stupider it gets.

It must be portable? WTF - some of the best sandwiches aren't terribly portable.
what if it's wrapped in bacon, deep fried and covered with pulled pork  
Greg from LI : 11/6/2015 9:33 am : link
and cole slaw, like the sublime Hogshead Café dog? Is that a sandwich then?


Hot dog with ketchup

Deep Fried

Jews have been eating a sandwich at the Passover Seder for 2000 years. So the real question to me is whether a hot dog is a Hillel.
