I have to lol at the pop-tart sandwich anarchy...
That would probably make a great user name..."PopTartSandwichAnarchist".
You just need two pop tarts, a fried egg, some butter...and 4 slices of bacon and you're good to go lololol.
Throw in a fried chocolate donut and you could sell it for $10 at the state fair.3 -

I think the hot dog is still a sandwich, it just happens to be most effectively eaten on its side.
Interesting: isn't a tortilla a thin, flat pancake of cornmeal or flour? Can't a sandwich also be made with thin flat flour pancakes (Or bread slices)?0 -
Dammit now I'm hungry.1

I've never in my entire life heard a tortilla called a pancake. LOL!
Mad props to you for creativity, but I think I'll say this - a tortilla is made on a skillet or something similar. Bread, sandwich buns, etc., are baked. I don't know if that's the absolute bottom-line distinction, but I'm sticking with it.
I'll say this. If you put cheese and meat in between two tortillas, you have yourself a quesadilla. Not a sandwich.0 -

So you call pick-up trucks, cars?

Also, I think a hot dog is technically a bunwich.
I can live with this.

A hot dog in a bun is a sandwich.
I think the main problem people have with calling a hot dog a sandwich is the incompleteness of the bun's slice. In my opinion, that's irrelevant.
Not many people would argue that a sub sandwich isn't a sandwich despite its connective hinge of bread on one side. Also common is a sandwich in pita--also one piece of bread. What they have in common is that a layer of bread exists on both of the larger sides of the sandwich, with only a tiny fold on the other sides, and at least one open end. A hot dog also shares these traits.
Things that aren't sandwiches:
* Pizza and the open-faced "sandwich", which have toppings on a single surface
* Pies, wraps, and burritos, which contain their fillings on all sides.0 -

So are you saying a burrito is a pie?0 -

No, I'm saying that pies, wraps, and burritos contain their fillings on all sides. Some pies and wraps have an open side, but I don't consider them sandwiches, either, for separate reasons.
The pie with no top crust isn't a sandwich because the open side is one of the two big sides; the wrap isn't a sandwich because it doesn't have two clear sides at all.0
