This is the greatest debate of our time so I feel the need to discuss it here; is a hot dog a sandwich?

I vote yes, for the same reason a sub is a sandwich (something between two pieces of bread).

Unless you're referring to dogs which are attractive or warm.

I actually remember talking to my dad about this when he heard about the court decision on it on NPR.

But, I think it shouldn't be. A sandwich, almost by definition, is supposed to be one-portion's-worth of food. You never really eat two sandwiches in one sitting. But hotdogs are another story. You normally eat 2-4 hotdogs in a sitting.

In terms of shape, I think hotdogs also don't fall under the sandwich category. I think the width of the filling must be wider than the height of the filling. However, since a hotdog is round, the height and width are equal, making it...different.

if you consider a hamburger and a submarine a sandwich then that makes a hot dog a sandwich also so yes a hot dog by default is a sandwich.

Taken from wikipedia "A sandwich is a food item consisting of one or more types of food placed on or between slices of bread" and that very much goes with how I always thought sandwiches are supposed to be like. In my country it is by far the most common thing to be eating for lunch, every day & often breakfast too. I'll agree with dottora and bandage in that it is much more a meal than a snack, however not in terms of portion but when it is eaten.

Now this I just don't agree with and this might be a cultural difference. I'll eat as many as 8 sandwiches for lunch if I feel like, 1 or 2 would nowhere near fill me up. With hotdogs I would just eat one because it's just that, a snack, not supposed to replace the next meal.

Pretty simple argument. Sandwich, two pieces of bread. Hot dog, one piece wrapped around meat.
