I was going to argue that no, it isn't, because it's not between two distinct slices of bread like a sandwich would be, but instead is nestled inside just one bun that's been sliced up a bit.

But then by that standard, a sub sandwich, which is nestled inside bread in a similar fashion, would not be a sandwich.

Hmm.

So if a sub sandwich is a sandwich even without the distinct slices, then by that logic, technically...yes, a hot dog is a sandwich. It's a filling of some sort between bread.
Still doesn't mean I won't look at someone a bit funny if they do call it one, though.

yes it's a sandwich. sandwiches don't need to be oriented in any particular way. the bread that encompasses the substance does not need to be split entirely.

 

[Lucid]

its meat in between buns

 

[Pukeamon]

well i believe sandwiches were invented in england by the earl of sandwich lol. all he asked is for meat in betwen two slices of bread. the sausage is the meat. the hot dog bun is the bread so using that evidence then yes :P

If I eat a piece of lettuce between two croutons is that technically a sandwich?

 

[Senjougahara]

Spoiler:

Yeah
It's just up to you to make it traditional sammich style or not

 

[Paranoia_]

Yes because it has bread on top and bottom and something in the middle.

sandwich
noun
1.
an item of food consisting of two pieces of bread with meat, cheese, or other filling between them, eaten as a light meal.
"a ham sandwich"

Sounds like a hot dog to me...

 

[Aquacorde]

Lol I live in Australia where 90% of the time a hotdog is a sausage between two cheap slices of bread that you buy for $2 outside Bunnings.

Sure, it's a sandwich.

 

[Oddball_]

No because its clearly a weirdly attractive canine. Or maybe your dog has a fever. Idk

 

[moon]

So what do you call it when you have a sandwhich without the top bread slice...? Because that's what we have here o:

 

[Oddball_]

Isnt that called ghetto pizza? With all the same stuff but no top slice and not folded?

 

[Logan]

nah it goes in a roll

a roll is not a sandwich
