phillyb Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 according to a press release made by the national hot dog and sausage council, it is not. source - http://www.hot-dog.org/press/national-hot-dog-and-sausage-council-announces-official-policy-%E2%80%98hot-dog-sandwich%E2%80%99-controversy 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, said NHDSC President and ‘Queen of Wien’ Janet Riley.

Mike Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 What about a bagel with cream cheese or butter That's not a sandwich. That's plain bread or toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Not unless the bread breaks in half. A sandwich is meat or contents pressed between two separate pieces of bread. And I don't want to hear the "what about Subway?" response. Failure to cut bread properly, as it's intended to be cut, doesn't make their subs not sandwiches.

NYRangers92 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 So is a meatball hero not a sandwich? Those are pretty tough to eat without getting everywhere if the bread is cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 You said it yourself. Is a meatball hero not a sandwich? No, it isn't. It's a hero. Or a sub. I've never once in my life heard anyone ever utter the words "Meatball sandwich". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRangers92 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 So its automatically not a sandwich if the bread is still slightly together. Does that make a hot dog a sandwich if the bun breaks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 The only way a hot dog is a sandwich is if you buy the extended definition added to dictionaries like the American Heritage dictionary that add in a line about "or a partly split long or round roll containing a filling". In that case, then yes. But in the traditional definition, no. The term sandwich requires independent pieces of bread. Just like how it's used pragmatically elsewhere when not describing food. Like say three cars get into an accident. the middle car is sandwiched... between two independent cars. If a large car somehow wrapped around a smaller one, we'd say the smaller was "pinched", or "encased" or some other term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 dude' date=' they stopped doing this like 10 years ago, no exaggeration.[/quote'] Every Subway I still go to cuts into just one side of the bread and spreads it open, like a hot dog bun. The Subway by my childhood home used to do this "V" cut thing, where they'd cut from the top of the sub a "V" shape out of it, so you had an independent top.
