Is a (USA) hot dog a sandwich?
In the USA it is served with a hot dog bun that is split open from the top but the bun is still connected at its bottom.
In some parts of Europe it may be served differently I hear.

No a sandwich is 2 slices of bread with a filling. The traditional hot dog is eaten in a bread finger or long bun. It is possible to have hot dogs between 2 slices of bread though!
The hotdog bun is similar to a sub bun but I have never really considered a hotdog a sandwich.
But man now I want hotdogs.
The debate continues. . .
Any more votes on this matter? Is a hot dog a sandwich or is it not?
No. It is not served between bread. It is served on a bun.
In the same way, a hamburger is not a sandwich. ;D
Would food served in a hoagie roll be a sandwich?
Would food served in a submarine (sub) roll be a sandwich?
Lori,
So a beef patty served in between a split bun is a burger is not a sandwich, but the same meat served between two slices of bread is a sandwich?

Yes! :laugh:
Ironically, I ordered a roast beef sandwich in Germany. I expected to be able to pick it up and eat it with my hands. Nope. It was served "open face," which I do not consider a sandwich. It is missing half of the bread!
In the Army, they served us SOS (S*** On a Shingle) for breakfast. It is basically creamed meat over a slice of bread. Nobody ever called it an open-face sandwich.
I can't handle all this controversy. ;D

Did the creamed meat over a slice of bread taste good?

Oh yes. I like SOS. :)
Was this served on toast or just a slice of bread?
It is creamed chipped beef on toast.

Could you go back for another helping?
How long did they give you to eat?
Did they have the practice of "Eat all you want, but eat all that you take"?
Could you ask for a double helping the first time you get food or did you have to show you ate all of the first helping first?

Yes, but I rarely had time.

We had an hour, but my duties had me busy enough that I only took a half hour. As the Operations Sergeant, I coordinated our unit's training and the "experiments" we did while testing new weapons systems. Very often, I worked 14-hour days for months at a time.

No. And it was a good thing, too. Sometimes what they served
was crap didn't suit my tastebuds, so it got dumped in the trash. Mostly, people knew what they liked and what to avoid, so they would get the good stuff and skip the rest. We were always well fed on one trip through the line.
Is a taco a hotdog? Is it a sandwich?

No, a taco is not a hot dog. It is also not a sandwich.
