I recently came across an argument where some persons believe hotdogs is simply a sandwich and their defence was anything wrapped between two bread is basically a sandwich irrespective of the shape or size, and in a way it makes some sense, but there where others who claimed it's not but still couldn't classify where it should fall into. So what's your take mylot, are hotdogs simply sandwich?

I don't really think so, but nonetheless that is how they are categorized.

If it is in-between bread, then it is a sandwich.

@eLdav1s Not sure, really. It's like a hamburger. It's just a hamburger. I don't call it a beef patty sandwich. lol

@porwest Lol some might still argue that a hamburger is also another form of sandwich

hotdogs are hotdogs, it becomes a sandwhich if you eat with bread or place it inside a loaf or bun or something

I think technically, a hotdog is a sandwich. I never say I’m fixing a sandwich when I get a hot dog, but if we’re getting down to the nitty gritty, I’d say yes.

Technically, they are sandwiches, but if you go to a ball game, you wouldn’t ask for a sandwich if you want a hot dog.
