Is a hot dog a sandwich? (restaurants, tomato, bread, sausage)

[Msgenerse]

Inquiring minds want to know.

I always thought "hot dog" referred to the actual meat link inside. Thus when placed in a bun is actually a "hot dog sandwich" but we all just say "hot dog" for short.

btw.. Is it "hotdog'" or "hot dog"?

I thought any meat between two buns/bread
Is a sandwich

So yes

Technically yes. In the same sense, so to speak, that a tomato is a fruit.

Most people would be perplexed if someone asked if they'd like a sandwich and then handed over a hot dog.

Correct.

Well, I have noticed for decades, that food service providers (wholesale food service), catering companies and even menus at restaurants, all list hot dogs under the “sandwiches “ subsection.

hot dogs are "wieners" in a bun, a sausage, not a sandwich
