If a hotdog is a sandwich, is the ocean a soup?
It is The Primordial Soup
I would like the primordial salad instead
A hotdog is not a sandwich.
If you serve bacon, lettuce, and tomato on a plate, you do not call that a sandwich.
But if you serve a hotdog without a bun, you still call it a hotdog.
QED.
In German, that would be a just a sausage
Do you have a term like “hotdog” for a sausage of questionable origin in a bun? Or is it, like, sausageofquestionableorigininabun like other German compound words? 😁
The best German word is backfeifengezicht. It means: "a face in need of a slap/punch"
nah in this case it's just sausage on its own - i know, boring 😄 people only refer to it as hotdog only if it's in a bun
And using that same reasoning, a hotdog on a bun is a sandwich.
I would be inclined to agree with, “a hotdog on a bun is a sandwich.”
A hotdog is a taco.
