Is the hot dog a sandwich? Meat in bread, so it can sorta fit the definition.....

 

[vraiblonde]

The hot dog can get delusions of grandeur all it wants - "oh, they call me tube steak! I must be steak! " - but it is a sandwich.

Which is not to denigrate Mr. Furter because I am a huge fan in all his regional forms. Chili and mustard? Yes. Coney style? Of course. Chicago? Absolutely. Kraut and swiss? Nom nom nom. Grilled, boiled, off a roller, ripper, split fried.....all dogs are good dogs.

Nothing better than coming out of a bar at 2:00am and hitting Sheetz for some of those dogs that have been on the roller all day long smothered in chili and mustard.

More importantly, is it a wiener or a frankfurter?

While the terms are used interchangeably most of the time, there are slight variations that do make them different.Depending on what part of the world or country you are from can also determine how these terms are used. While in America the "Hot Dog" is very popular, in Germany there is no such thing, only a Frankfurter or a Wiener.

To Be technical, Hot Dogs as we know them are actually either a Frank or a Wiener in a bun. A "Frankfurter" consist of all one type of meat, usually beef, but can be any meat and is more strongly seasoned than it's counterpart. On The other hand a "Wiener" is typically a combination of meats that tends to contain pork and is blander.

"The hot dog is NOT a samdwich"

True statement. It might be a sandwich, but it's def not a samdwich.

A hamburger isn't a sammitch nor a sandwich either. It's a hamburger.


Eavesdropping at Gilligans and TJ's:


"Darling, you want a hot dog?"

"Nah"

"Sweetie, how about a burger?"

"Nah."

"Snugglebunnies, how about a beer?"


"Nah, princess. I'd be happy with just a sammitch and a Corona..."
