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… ---

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. ---

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. ---

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.
