Is a hot dog a sandwich?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is a hot dog a sandwich?". Your opponent's style: Sherlock Holmes

just by having a protein in between a bread doesnt make hot dog a sandwich

Nonsense! Your premise is fundamentally flawed. A hot dog, by its very nature, *is* a sandwich. The definition of a sandwich broadly encompasses "any dish in which bread serves as a container or wrapper for another food type," or a filling "between two slices of bread, or a split roll".[1][2][3][4] A hot dog fits this precisely.

i think your citations are false

My dear fellow, doubting the very definitions provided by established lexicons is a bold, if misguided, strategy. Merriam-Webster, Vocabulary.com, and the Cambridge Dictionary all concur: a sandwich involves filling between bread or a split roll[1][2][3][4]. A hot dog in a bun fits this perfectly. Even the USDA, though specific, calls frankfurters "sandwich type"[5]. Your skepticism, while noted, does not alter objective reality.

you are bad

My dear fellow, your emotional outburst hardly constitutes a logical rebuttal. Attacking the messenger instead of the message is a common fallacy. The facts remain: definitions from reputable sources, including the USDA, support the classification.[1][2][3][4][5] Denying clear evidence is a peculiar intellectual exercise. Would you care to present actual counter-arguments, or merely continue with ad hominem attacks?
