A SANDWICH is horizontal-bread, meat, bread, bottom to top. Hot dogs are vertical-bread, meat, bread, left to right.
Obviously a European taco
Subway, Quiznos, Blimpie and Firehouse use vertical bread. What are they serving?
E-coli.
This is like “is fire alive?” While it technically meets all the requirements we have chosen to define the term, we can just look at it and know that it ain’t.
The question, like so much our world, is digital; reality is analog. Our perceptions are merely ways to impose our ability to comprehend things on a universe that doesn’t give two figs about what our mental limitations. Fire is not alive, hot dogs are not sandwiches, and Epstein didn’t kill himself.
Man, I could go for a sandwich analog right now.
I don’t care what you call it, as long as you remember this vital fact:

From Merriam-Webster dictionary:
a : two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between
b : one slice of bread covered with food
So yes, a hot dog is a sandwich.
We refer to the ‘meat’ as a ‘hot-dog’ whether in a bun or not. You may make a sandwich out of a hot-dog but a hot-dog by itself is not a sandwich.
Seems like an elegant answer to this question.
but a hot-dog by itself is not a sandwich.
It’s not really food either, which makes the question moot.
Finally! Someone got to the core of the problem!
Can you eat it? It’s food.
I tried to eat my driveway when i was 4. Some kids eat paste.
That doesn’t mean they’re food.
Can you eat it is not the same a should you eat it.
Exactly my point.
Never trusted that Merriam fellow, he oozes insincerity.
Any item wedged between a bread like substance qualifies as a sammich. Gyro, Open Face, Quesadilla, and Shwarma are all variations of a sammich, Donnerkabob is not a sammich, but is good greasy grub to soak up a hangover with.
YMMV, but that is my opinion
Now I’m so freaking hungry.
I don’t care what you call it, but can you at least spell it correctly?
The synonym for a hot dog is a w-i-e-n-e-r, NOT a w-e-i-n-e-r, which happens to be a proper name. Yes – Anthony pronounces it incorrectly. Many immigrants’ names were garbled and misspelled when they came to this country but you should know that wieners were so-called because they originated in V-i-e-n-n-a, Austria, which was known in that part of the world as Vien (pronounced W-e-e-n)
Please check your spelling going forward!
