    Preferably a taco followed by a chocotaco
    Do they still have these? I used to love them.

    Yes there are still chocotacos. I had one the other day. It was just as good as I remembered.

    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.

    No! Tortilla is not bread!

    (Why do I feel so strongly about this?)

    Tortillas are a specific type of unleavened bread.

    The hot dog itself is the sausage, but people commonly refer to the hot dog and bun together as a hot dog.

    The whole thing is a fun semantic question anyway, so I'm surprised nobody brought this up until now!

    I live in New York City. No one I know says, "I'm gonna get a sangwich..." and then goes and gets a dog. Not once in 60 years. They might get halfway to a sangwich and CHANGE THEIR MIND and go for a dog INSTEAD, but no one calls a dog a sangwich.

    On the other hand, if we were to ask John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sangwich, he would probably applaud the hot dog as an ingenious creation, suited to eating while working or gambling.

    Good point! There aren't many people who would think of a hot dog and call it a sandwich.

    Of course, there aren't a lot of folks who would say 'rectangle' when they mean 'square', either, but that doesn't make it inaccurate.

    I think we should ask Emma for her opinion

    BUT WHERE IS EMMA? I have a very important question to ask her about what hamburgers are made of. Did she get deleted? Poor emmsters. And I wanted to review those lotto picks, too, dangit!

    I think it's all in the bun.

    This is most definitely a sandwich

    Also, hamburgers are without question sandwiches.

    I think a hot dog is a type of sandwich. So is a burger on a bun. We don't commonly use the word sandwich but it is still a type of sandwich.
    If I take a piece of bread and spread peanut butter on it and fold it in half it is as much a sandwich to me as much as if I cut the piece of bread apart instead of folding it. If I put hot dogs on 2 slices of regular bread it is a sandwich.
    A meatball sandwich is a sandwich. A Philly cheese steak is a sandwich. A sub is a sandwich.
    A taco could be thought of as a type of sandwich. So could a gyro. A runza is a sandwich.
    I guess I am pretty liberal with regards to sandwiches.

    A corndog is not a sandwich. A pizza is not a sandwich. An open faced sandwich is not a sandwich.

    Depends if you cut all the way through the bun. If you do, it's a sandwich.

    Aren't sub sandwiches not cut all the way through?

    then it's just sub and they have forfeited the privilege of calling themselves a sandwich.

    .... we all make choices in life, some have dire consequences.

    I just asked my wife and she said: "technically yes."


    This should be cold, hard proof that the answer is: "no".
    My wife told me "deffinately" when I asked
