Is a hotdog a sandwich?
This is one of the weirder articles of colts chronicles but at the same time, very controversial. In this article Drew Figg and myself Bricen Collins are going to be discussing the notorious yet weird question, is a hotdog a sandwich?
A website called Dscout took a poll and it turns out 61% of americans say that it is not a sandwich and 31% say it is a sandwich, although Dscout’s final answer is that a hotdog is indeed a sandwich because the definition of a sandwich is two or more slices of bread or a split roll (such as a hotdog bun) that has filling in between like beef, chicken or pork.
A hotdog is a sandwich because the definition of a sandwich is insert or squeeze (someone or something) between two other people or things, typically in a restricted space or so as to be uncomfortable. This is exactly what a hotdog is, something that is in between two things. That is why a hotdog is considered a sandwich.
A website called Reader's Digest says that a hotdog is not a sandwich because of the bread or bun. To be able to be considered a
sandwich there must be a bread component. The reason is that a hot dog is called a hotdog when it is not in a bun, but it is also called a hotdog
whilst it's in the bun therefore making it not a sandwich because the meat itself is the hotdog and the bread has absolutely nothing to do with it.
We asked a couple of our fellow EJHS students if they think a hotdog is a sandwich or not and here is what they said, Wyatt Branham a 6th grader said that he thinks a hotdog is a sandwich because it has buns and there is meat between the buns.
