Is a hot dog a sandwich?

No. Sandwich involves two slices of bread. A hot dog bun is, at best, considered one folded slice.

EDIT: Fine, 2+

“An open faced sandwich is not a sandwich” is a bold take.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

"Open face sandwich" is only a sandwich if it comes from the Sandwich region of southeast England. Otherwise it's just a sparkling smörgås/brødskive/bread with spread or topping

An open-faced sandwich is not a sandwich because nothing is being sandwiched. Unless the "open face" is part of the presentation, intended to be enclosed upon consumption.

I mean a sub is one bread cut in half

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

Yes, and that's why it's called a sub. But if you have to be really picky about it, the fact that it's two separated halves kinda makes it also a sandwich

A "sub" is called that because it's shaped like a submarine

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 2 points 6 days ago

"Sub" is short for "submarine sandwich". So...

Excuse me, but "2 slices of bread" rule for me is nonsense. I do sandwiches by cutting a baguette in the lenght without separating in two parts. Maybe it's due to different cultural interpretations, but for me hot dog is a sandwich, just a specific one

Are you saying a Clubhouse, that is made with three slices of bread, is not a sandwich?
