Is a hamburger a sandwich? Or is it a hamburger? A hotdog is a hotdog. Hotdogs on 2 slices of bread, thats a hotdog sandwich. Hotdog in a bun is not a sandwich.
Just because it used to be called something doesnt make it correct. We could go through a pile of things that used to be called something that are incorrect to call it that now. Not going to get into specifics with that one but you get what I mean. But also what if the hamburger isnt shaped into a patty? Just cooked and put on a bun. Its called a loose meat sandwich. Same ingredients. Different name. Served on a hamburger bun. Specificity is important. Taking the same ingredients and changing the way they are presented changes them completely. A tostada or chimichanga are just deep fried versions of a taco or a burrito. But you call them what they are. You dont call a tostada a taco, because then youd have a taco. You dont ask for a hotdog and get sliced hotdogs on 2 pieces of bread. You get a get a delightful hotdog in a bun. Generalizing and classifying it as a sandwich doesnt do it justice because it is its own entity. And I hope you dont take this rant too seriously because we are arguing semantics for fun and I enjoy this debate lol
Food Theory did a pretty extensive review of what makes a sandwich, and their conclusion, based on a court case, is that a hotdog doesn't fit the legal definition of a sandwich. Their results are at 15:05 in the linked video.

Crearly that is just sarcasm. The food is defined of how you eat it, not how it is formed.
So a pie is a quiche but if you slice off a piece, that piece is toast?
You see what you did. Now a hotdog is a taco.
Is a hamburger a sandwich? Or is it a hamburger? A hotdog is a hotdog. Hotdogs on 2 slices of bread, thats a hotdog sandwich. Hotdog in a bun is not a sandwich.
so, by your definition, if you cut the bun into two pieces of bread the hotdog becomes a sandwich?
But its still on a hotdog bun. If it were on slices of bread it would then be a sandwich. The delivery system is important to this.
a bun is a bread
A hot dog is a steak?
A hamburger is a specific sandwich, just like a hot dog.
By that logic, everything on the taco bell menu is a taco. Just specific types of tacos.
How do you figure? What we call a hamburger now was originally called a "hamburger sandwich". A burrito has never been called a "burrito taco".

Thank you yes. A hot dog is not a sandwich and never will be.
A long video of people being wrong is no argument.
Quoting law is also nonsensical. Indiana almost passed legislation defining π to be equal to 3.
Quoting Indiana law is nonsensical and oxymoronic, which you would know if you'd ever been.
Providing an example is demonstrative, you silly goose.
A kind of taco is not a sandwhich. What makes a sandwhich is the way of how to eat it.
