A hot dog does not have to be on a hot dog roll thus it is not a sandwich. It can be served by its self. A hot dog dog is not a sandwich. A hot dog on a roll....maybe....depends what else you put on it.
There were many times growing up that I had a hot dog on a slice of bread that was rolled up around it. That fills part of any technical requirement - bead/meat but not the second slice of bread. However, sometimes the bread was old and split into two pieces. That qualifies under even strict definition.
However, there are also open faced sandwiches (of which pizza is one) and a pastie made with a separate upper and lower crust would likely qualify, as would a pot pie free of the pie plate.
If a sandwich requires meat and bread, what is grilled cheese?
If the police grill it - probably a guilty pleasure
If a rapper has the problem, probably a dental floss disaster
In the subway, stuck to a grate, I wouldn't even dare to guess <shudder>
In electronics, an NPN or PNP junction is a sandwich. No bread (excluding cash) involved.
So... as a counterpoint...
If you put a slice of bread between two slices of meat...
it isn't a meatwich, because bread is not sand. It does meet the requirement of two similar objects with a third object between them. A book is a sandwich (the spine rarely has cardboard in it). Some batteries are a sandwich. A bed is a sandwich when occupied. Sheet happens.
All this brings up the larger question... was the Earl of Sandwich really a Sandwich???
Thanks for proving my point. Five and a half minutes of kielbasa sandwiches has nothing to do with hot dogs.
Here's the proof that a hot dog is indeed a sandwich - When ordering a hot dog, I have always had it delivered wrapped in a bun, which makes it fit the definition of a sandwich to a "T."
May the first person who, without special ordering, ever got handed a hot greasy naked tube steak speak now or forever hold their piece of sausage.
A sandwich is made using two or more slices of bread.
A hot dog is made with a hot dog roll, not bread. A hamburger uses a hamburger roll, not bread. A banana, like the hot dog and hamburger in our example, also does not make use of bread.
Louis' Lunch
Louis' Lunch is a hamburger restaurant in New Haven, Connecticut, which claims to be the first restaurant to serve hamburgers and the oldest hamburger restaurant in the United States. It was opened as a small lunch wagon in 1895 and was one of the first places in the U.S. to serve steak sandwiches.
They serve their hamburger between two slices of toasted white bread. Is that the only hamburger in the US that is a sandwich? Or is it the only one that is not a hamburger?

A ROLL is still "bread"; sandwiches are made on all kinds of bread today. It needn't be the little uniform squares that come in a loaf. But they must be TWO SEPARATE pieces of (whatever) bread to qualify as a sandwich. For the record, a pita pocket wouldn't qualify, either, for the same reason.
All of which just goes to prove that CD posters can argue -- endlessly -- about anything!!!
