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

A tortilla is just a pancake so if I make a pancake sandwich wouldn't I have a taco?0

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 -

Which would mean a burrito is a pie!

I don't follow that leap. I'm saying that pies, and burritos, and wraps have a similar trait, but they are different in other ways. You might be able to convince me that burritos are a subset of wrap, though.thewindandthework wrote: »thewindandthework wrote: »A hot dog in a bun is a sandwich.

Looking for images of hot-dog sandwiches (sliced dogs on square bread) to provide the definitive answer to this question for the ages, I came across this...
... and now I am plagued by a swarm of doubt so powerful as to render me perplexed -- nay, paralyzed -- for the rest of the day. I shall retire to my sensory deprivation chamber until I can come to grips with this new and terrifying reality I have stumbled into.3 -
When you win something you say "HOT DOG", not "SANDWICH". HOT DOG CONTESTS would not be called SANDWICH CONTESTS.0

Sandwich is debatable.... I would never call it that, but I wouldn't argue it to a huge degree either. Much like a hamburger isn't a sandwich to me either. On a restaurant menu you usually see categories and I have never seen a burger or a hot dog under the sandwich section. They have their own sections.
A hot dog is definitely NOT a taco. If I see someone say they are having Taco Tuesday and are gnawing on a hot dog I will slap that *kitten* out of their hand so fast they can't figure out what just happened
A taco doesn't come with bread, but instead a tortilla, which is a form of bread. And then there's the filling, which is technically sandwiched between corn or flour tortilla. So couldn't Taco Tuesday include Hot Dog Tacos and Burrito Pies?0 -
TBH despite my otherwise strong opinions in this matter, I can't figure out the taco. I don't consider it a sandwich but I'm not entirely sure why. I think it's because of the tortilla, but a tortilla is definitely a type of bread, so I'm not sure why I see a distinction there.0

I couldn't find a picture of what I imagined a burrito pie would be. Like a regular meat pie but with traditional burrito fillings.
I sort of want to make one now.0 -
I don't care either way, I just think they're delicious.0

Yeah... there's nothing quite like sliding a hot dog into a taco, huh?2 -
A pie burrito, on the other hand, would have sweet pie filling wrapped burrito-style in pastry and baked. That would be amazing.0

Yeah, I prefer that it's not crunchy when that happens though. Still it would be preferable to this scenario.

Like. I can cook and my roommate can bake. I think we should team up and have burrito pie for dinner and pie burritos for dessert.2

Thank you for saying this so I didn't have to.
A hot dog is still not a taco. The definition of taco is not the same as a sandwich. You may be able to consider a taco a sandwich (shudders) but you can not consider a hot dog a taco.
But a taco is just meat wrapped in a flour bread (or corn but flour for this case). Isn't a hot dog the same thing, meat wrapped in a flour bread?0 -

I am arguing myself in circles in my head. My brain hurts and I want a taco. Preferably a taco followed by a chocotaco
This is a good article that supports my claims of why a hotdog is a taco.Basically, tacos exist to shove a bunch of food in your mouth without getting your hands very dirty. It’s the world’s only utensilless meal. Both tacos and the hot dog serve this purpose.
