CMV: Hot Dogs ARE a Type of Sandwich

Hot dogs are definitely a type of sandwich. According to the Webster dictionary a sandwich is two slices of bread or a **split roll** with a filling in between. A hot dog has a split roll with a filling. This makes it a sandwich. Some might say that the filling is wrong for a hot dog to be a sandwich, it's filling is a cylinder rather than flat slices of meat. If this is the reason for why a hot dog cannot be a sandwich then why is a meatball sandwich a sandwich? meat ball sandwiches have spheres. what about tuna & egg salad sandwiches? they have a paste or spread rather than slices of meat. Another argument might be the way you hold a hot dog. Hot dogs are not held in a horizontal orientation, with the bread on top and bottom of the sandwich, but a vertical one so as to avoid the contents spilling out. I feel that this is a bad way to define a sandwich because I have had many a sub sandwich that I had to hold in the vertical orientation to avoid spillage of the contents. If the orientation of the food item determined it's sandwich status then many food items that would be considered a sandwich would become non-sandwiches based solely on the amount or sloppiness of contents you put inside of the sandwich. For example if you make a sloppy joe or pulled pork sandwich in a split bun then it makes sense to hold it in a vertical orientation with the bread on the sides of the filing rather than on the top and bottom of the sandwich.

Dictionaries are descriptors, not prescriptors. That means they attempt to explain the way we use language, but they don’t set the rules. Society does.

If the dictionary definition includes a hot dog, the dictionary is wrong.
