Poll: is a hotdog a sandwich or a taco?

You can't ruin hot dogs. We know what they are and we still love them.

 

What about Paula?

 

It's safe to say that a hot dog is not a taco as the definition of a taco refers specifically to the Mexican dish consisting of filled corn or flour tortillas, but things get a little murky when it comes to sandwiches.

According to Merriam-Webster, a sandwich is "two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between." By that definition, hot dogs seem to qualify as sandwiches. Many people argue, though, that while the hot dog technically fits the dictionary definition of a sandwich, it's simply not a sandwich. It is its own thing.


Eric Mittenthal, president of the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, said he's been asked this question just about daily for the past five to six years and his answer is the same.

"A hot dog is not a sandwich," he said. "If you go to a hot dog vendor and you say give me a sandwich, they're going to look at you like you're crazy. It's just culturally not the same as a sandwich."

Mittenthal has heard every counter argument possible, too. He regularly fields phone calls from fraternity houses trying to settle late-night feuds over the matter, high school debate teams practicing for tournaments, and students using the controversy as master's thesis material.

The hot dog, he explains time and again, is in a classification of its own.

"In essence it boils down to a hot dog is its own unique item that exceeds the sandwich category. It breaks itself free of the sandwich category. People love to argue with us, but no, a hot dog is not a sandwich," Mittenthal said.

Yup. We have hamburgers too.

 

Ketchup, green relish and onions.

 

I always thought you just ate crepes, pancakes and maple syrup. That is why I hang out here.

 

Well, our burgers are made out of moose meat so there's that.

 

Do you mean sweet relish or dill relish. There is only one right answer.

 

Sweet. Never tried dill relish.

 

Eww on the ketchup, onions on my burger, not my dog

 

Ketchup is God's condiment. People who don't like ketchup are broken.

 

I like ketchup, not on my dog

 

Hotdogs are vestibules for buttholes and fart paste.

 

I once wondered if a burger without the buns could be considered a salad.

Problem is I can't bring myself to order a burger that way.

 

I'll allow it.

 

Some of this brand is made in your home world.

 

Grandpa buzz always said hot dogs are made of assholes, elbows, and eyeballs!

Never stopped me none.

I can't see dill and hot dogs gping together well.

 

I love me some relish on a hot dawg.

 

My grandpa said hotdogs were made of fish lips and assholes.


Also... ketchup is for fries, not dogs.

 

I will let some one else chime in. I would pick dill relish over sweet any day, even when I was a kid.
