[QUOTE="oldngray, post: 3502840, member: 45230"] [LIST=1] [*]To qualify as “a sandwich,” a given food product must, structurally, consist of two (2) exterior pieces that are either separate or mostly separate; [*]Those pieces must be primarily carbohydrate-based—so, made of bread or bread-like products; [*]The whole assemblage must have a primarily horizontal orientation (so, sitting flush with a plate rather than perpendicular to it); and [*]The whole assemblage must be fundamentally portable. [/LIST] So. Under this definition, a burger is a sandwich. So is an ice cream sandwich. So is an Oreo. So is a grilled cheese. Things that are not sandwiches, however, include the wrap (fails #1), the burrito (same), the taco (fails #3), the KFC Double Down (fails #2), the drastically misnamed open-faced “sandwich” (fails #1 [I]and[/I] #4) … and, yes, [I]the hot dog[/I]. Which—though it, like the taco, exists in a fuzzier taxonomic realm than its fellow foodstuffs—is primarily vertical in its orientation, thus failing test #3.
