Nah man if a hotdog is a sandwich then a bread bowl is a sandwich. If you’re willing to say a bread bowl is a sandwich ONLY THEN can you say a hotdog is a sandwich.

So if a bread bowl is a sandwich then doesn’t that mean anything inside bread counts as a sandwich? That would mean I could go to the store and buy a loaf of bread, cut a hole in it, put like a banana in it, and now it’s a sandwich. That doesn’t seem right to me…

As long as there’s bread and something inside it…

Alright so if we’re gonna draw the line there does a bun count as a sandwich? And this is a filled bun. Let’s say it’s a ham and cheese bun. But there’s no opening in it, it’s just ham and cheese inside a bun, completely surrounded in all directions by bread.

There was actually a lawsuit about whether or not a burrito counted as a sandwich one time. Turns out a burrito is legally not a sandwich.

Oh, then the two pieces of bread ig has to be placed vertically in top of each other

But that would mean there has to be two pieces of bread, in which case a hotdog wouldn’t be a sandwich because it has a singular bun, yeah? So you would have to first separate the bun into two halves and place them on top and below the sausage part for a hotdog to be a sandwich. I’d say a hotdog can become a sandwich but only if you do that first.

The bread has to be parallel with each other in some fashion.

But hotdogs only have one bun, though, right? The bun is kinda sliced in the middle but it isn’t cut completely in half. I think for a hotdog to become a sandwich the two halves of the bun need to be separated completely and put on opposite sides of the sausage part.

@imthegreenbean so if I only made half of a sandwich, like just one slice of bread folded in half but everything else was typical sandwich fillings, is that technically
a hot dog?

For me a hotdog has to be the partially sliced bun folded around a sausage. There’s probably a different name for just a single piece of bread folded around typical sandwich filling ingredients, but I haven’t seen one of those yet.
