A sandwich is meat and other ingredients wrapped in bread. Hence, a hotdog is a sandwich hehe

YES anything is a sandwich every culture has some type of sandwich, the def of a sandwich is "two carbs with a protein in the middle" 

Mexico: taco de pollo 

Japan: rice balls 

Germany: hotdogs 

sandwich: England

Wow. 💀💀💀  

Also, still no.   Tacos aren't sandwiches because the shell/tortilla is one thing, and maybe other reasons.  Search results agree with me. 😝

There are rice balls with a different name that are shaped like sandwiches.  But standard onigiri, no. And search results agree with me again. 😁

And hotdogs aren't sandwiches because they just really aren't.  I mean, look at them.  There are three main kinds of really good hot dogs that I know of.  Chili dogs, Chicago dogs, and hot dogs with kimchi as relish (I invented that last one, but so did other people before me I guess.).  But do you want a chili or kimchi or really specific and loaded-up Chicago dog style sandwich?  No.  🤮 That would be weird and gross.  So my point stands! Bwahahha

Thank you, Internet. :P


Yes, Merriam-Webster, the USDA, and the dictionary all consider a hot dog to be a sandwich. Merriam-Webster defines a sandwich as "two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between". The USDA considers a sandwich to be meat between two pieces of bread, and the dictionary defines a burrito as a sandwich, even though it's not between two pieces of bread.


Even the language experts have issued a verdict: Merriam-Webster came down definitively on the side of yes, a hot dog IS a sandwich, because “the definition of sandwich is 'two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between.


In 2018, the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg concluded that a hot dog is indeed a sandwich while on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.

@jesusredeemedme2425 Not sure. It might be a sandwich, but who knows.

It's not. If you try to invite people for "hot dog sandwiches" no one will want to eat hot dogs with you. 😜 Besides, it's a bun, not regular bread. Yes, you technically can use a slice of bread, but that's usually more of a paycheck-to-paycheck survival decision.

@Torean I agree. One more vote for the separate definition camp!

@jesusredeemedme2425 Probably not. When the Earl of Sandwich devised his food package idea, no frankfurter was involved. Nor was there a proper bun.
