Phil McCann, vice president of marketing at Nathan’s Famous, agrees that the hot dog’s importance can’t be reduced to a food group. He argues that when the sandwich was purportedly invented in 1792 by John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich, he requested that sliced meat be placed between two slices of bread so he could eat it with his hands—and “that’s not the definition of a hot dog,” McCann says.
The sandwich was invented in 1762 by John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich. It is said his grandfather of the same name, the 2nd Earl of Sandwich made progress towards the idea by placing a piece of bread between two pieces of meat.
@Mike403 Haha is that a real recipe or did it just make that up? 😂
Can’t hot dogs just be hot dogs? They do not need to be constrained by sandwich conformity! Let the dogs be free! Plus they are yummy with some good mustard
@CharlieBear - it always makes things up. ChatGPT doesn't plagiarise from anywhere, but it's good to get new ideas.
I find the lack of ontological integrity on this thread concerning.
Clearly a hotdog is not a sandwich unless you are holding it sideways, which can be difficult with the wrong toppings. (the wrongness of the topics being independent from the holding technique)
A hotdog held and consumed in the traditional positioned is obviously a tartine, if arguably a misshapen one.
@dave31415 Rumor is he wanted to be able to eat whilst playing cards, but he did not want to have to put his playing cards down in order to take a bite. So they put his dinner between two pieces of bread. It also kept his hands cleaner.
Hot dog and bun is a sideways sandwich. A corn dog is not a sandwich.
is hotdog a sandwich?
ChatGPT The classification of a hotdog as a sandwich is a matter of debate and can depend on one's interpretation of what constitutes a sandwich.
Traditionally, a sandwich is defined as two or more slices of bread with a filling between them. In the case of a hotdog, it typically consists of a single split roll with a sausage or frankfurter inside. Some argue that because the bun is not completely sliced into two separate pieces, a hotdog doesn't fit the traditional definition of a sandwich.
However, others argue that the essence of a sandwich lies in the combination of bread and filling, and therefore, a hotdog could be considered a sandwich due to the presence of a bread-like outer layer and a filling.
Ultimately, whether a hotdog is considered a sandwich may depend on personal opinions and interpretations of what defines a sandwich.
my hotdogs sometimes end up as a sandwich when I accidentally rip rhe bun in half.
@Sooson
Some argue that because the bun is not completely sliced into two separate pieces, a hotdog doesn't fit the traditional definition of a sandwich.
Anytime I've gone to Subway, Thundercloud, Quiznos, etc., the bun is usually sliced down the middle lengthwise, but is not cut into two seperate pieces. Yet, they are sandwiches.
The Cube Rule of Food Identification System
2 sides: Sandwich If the bottom and top sides of a dish are made of a kind of starch, it's technically a sandwich. This hilariously chaotic rule means that a hot dog isn't a sandwich since 3 sides of the hot dog are encased in starch, not 2.
Technically, a hot dog is a cylinder and has only 1 curved side. So it can only be encased on 1 side, technically speaking.
Gawd, I'm such a nerd.. discussing sandwich geometry at 4 AM. No wonder I can't get a date.
@TxTom Nerds of the world unite!
@TxTom No dates? You're the best blobfish I know.
I heard “hot dog sandwich” one day before this was posted; never heard those words together before that. I actually usually eat a hot dog on one piece of whole wheat bread (just because that’s what we eat), but hold it like it’s a bun. I’ll never call it a sandwich though, I’ll just say, “I’m having a hotdog.”
@Mike403 😂😂 i hate ketchup too. I used to waitress at a catering hall and would get one of the other guys to take the plates with ketchup for me😂😂 I didn't even want to touch it.
@Bear so you're telling me that a hot dog is really a taco?? I LOVE tacos!!
@Jubal To be honest I haven’t decided. I’ve been looking up different things on the internet. According to that, a burrito starts off as a calzone, and then turns into sushi, lol. A pie is quiche until you cut a piece out and then it’s taco I believe.
Just having fun.
