Vlady - pigs in blankets - sandwich? Go.

Nope- pancakes would be a stretch to argue as bread (they aren't baked) and they are not sliced post-baking.

That's how classifications work. ;)

Pancakes? I've only had pigs in a blankets that were mini sausages or hot dogs wrapped in biscuits

If someone said to me hey pass me that sandwich and I looked down and saw only a plate of hotdogs I would immediately call the police

The problem in this thread is a scientific literacy one, where many are arguing from an opinion (deeply held opinion) but have not been able to provide any facts supporting their opinion. The facts, as have been shown multiple times, is that a hot dog has no characteristics that are different from other food items that are described as sandwiches and therefore it is a sandwich. Here is an example of the argument in this thread using something near and dear to Spin's heart: geology

Poll: Is a diamond a metamorphic or igneous rock.

vlady: It is a rock.
Igor: Diamonds are just diamonds, dude.
Others: No diamonds aren't like other rocks. And they form from coal.
spin: Actually, most diamonds formed long before coal was created from plants, because plants didn't exist yet.
curtis: The Diamond Council said diamonds are special!
vlady: They also deny that slave labor is used to dig them up, so you'll need a better authority than someone who is marketing their product.
Others: But diamonds are shiny!
vlady: Yes, but lots of rocks are shiny.
Others: I hold skipping rocks sideways, and diamonds get put on rings on your finger, so they are totally different.
vlady: Yes, but other rocks also get put on rings, like garnets and rubies.
Others: You're just trying to argue.
vlady: No, I'm trying to be scientific here.

Vlady and Spin are kicking the Nay-sayers ass in this thread.

Just lock it up, I feel embarrassed for them.

A hotdog is the meat. A hotdog bun is not a sandwich bun because a sandwich bun is two separate pieces of bread. Now if you're eating a hotdog and the bun splits in half accidentally and you flip it over with one side up one side down, you're now eating a sandwich which consists of the hotdog and whatever toppings are now falling onto you.

Again- this does not handle sandwiches that are similar characteristics, like sub sandwiches. You have yet to describe a characteristic that a hot dog bun has that is different from a sub roll.

Let's ask my local Germans at Cafe Mozart, who serve sausages on rolls:

Oh look, a bratwurst is described as a sausage sandwich. Let's see what that looks like:



Interesting- this seems a lot like a hot dog, but is classified as a sandwich. It's so bizarre I can't seem to get my head around it.

Note to DC area peeps: The venison bratwurst here is awesome. And when I ask for a venison brat, that's all I have to say and they put it on a roll without me having to add
"sandwich". It's amazing!

What's embarrassing is that people feel that their opinion on hot dogs trumps the facts. The fact is that hot dogs served on buns share all the characteristics of other sandwiches and have none that make them different or unique. They are a sausage sandwich, and having an opinion that is different doesn't change the fact. And trying to put opinions over facts is why we have climate denial and anti-vaxxers.

Not even remotely, they are spewing boolshit and sound like absolute lunatics

Vlady doesn’t even think they’re sandwiches and is arguing just to argue, he told me in private in the middle of the night

LOL-lies.

I even have a working definition for sandwich that I'll share later if work permits, along with taxonomy of sandwiches. Flat bread sandwiches seem to be the only sticking point right now.

So now you are saying that sandwiches require meat?

A lot of veggie sandwich lovers are going to disagree with you. Not to mention the portabello mushroom sandwich crowd.

So putting soup between 2 pieces of bread makes a sandwich.

Got it

Don't argue with Igor. That's like arguing with a ferret.
