re: Debate: Is a hot dog a sandwich?

According to these definitions...a hot dog qualifies as a sandwich....I think its something else, Like a Gumbo is not a soup and all Hot dogs are sandwiches but not all sandwiches are hot dogs

quote:

---

Definition of sandwich 1 a : two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between b : one slice of bread covered with food 2 : something resembling a sandwich; especially : composite structural material consisting of layers often of high-strength facings bonded to a low strength central core

I'll add:more generally any dish wherein two or more pieces of bread serve as a container or wrapper for another food type. The sandwich began as a portable finger food
