My brain is melting... What is a taco classified as?! If you fold a pizza slice in half is it still a slice of pizza?

My world is falling apart

Then it becomes an apple!

What the hell is a corn dog??? Why did someone do this to us, Acetoolguy You are evil.

collapses in a faint

hot dog

or hot·dog (h?t′d?g′, -d?g′)

A frankfurter between 2 slices of bread would be a sausage sandwich. A frankfurter in a roll is a hotdog.

A taco isn't a sandwich either. Neither is a folded piece of pizza, calzone, etc. If it's not between pieces of bread, it's not a sandwich.

I don't care if it's a sandwich or not but now I want one. Tomato wedge, pickle, onions and a nice spicy brown mustard. Mmmhmm.

I say yes, therefore case closed.

Thank the gods the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council was able to confirm this for us lesser folk! If only I, a mere peasant, could bask in their presence...

"Especially" does not equal "only." I've had plenty of "hot dogs" served with 2 pieces of bread from a sliced loaf. When I can buy 3 loaves of bread for the price of 8 buns, I'll take that route sometimes

May I counter with http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/hotdog's definition?:

1. a frankfurter.
2. a sandwich consisting of a frankfurter in a split roll, usually eaten with mustard, sauerkraut, or relish.

Hot dogs are not sausages, in my opinion. Sausages have spices added to them that "hot dogs" do not. They also "seem" to be differing sources of meat than hot dogs

hehehe... this thread is resembling that old "Is this dress black and blue, or gold and white?" thread

Woah, I missed national sandwich day? Why didn't anyone tell me this exists!

This is possibly even more critical an issue than that was
