Hello you lovely lot :) 

I hope everyone is keeping well?

As you know, I am new to Scope, and I've been posting a few conversation starters, getting involved in the community and now we are going to get to the nitty gritty debates...

    Hi @Sandy_123 How are you?

    It is something in a bun, does it not count as a sandwich when it's one piece cut down the middle?

    I think...a hot dog is a hot dog, as a sausage sandwich is a very different thing

    A sausage sandwich is usually between two slices of bread... 🤔 It very much is, food for thought!

    If a hot dog is a sandwich then so is a beef burger 🍔 

    epic fail, neither are sandwiches since the Earl didn’t invent those! 🙂

    A hot dog bun can be classed as a sandwhich if you put sandwhich filler in it, then it's more of a bun  :D I'll get me coat

    Oh! good shout, next time we discuss if a burger is a sandwich :D But the Earl didn't invent the Crisp sandwich, and that's the best kind of sandwich 😂

            Cheese and onion crisps are the best for a crisp butty  ;)

    Since people are thinking laterally......
    The hotdog is actually the sausage, so that can`t be a sandwich.
    The long bread thing the sausage goes in is a finger roll, so that can`t be a sandwich.
    Does that mean when both are together it`s a roll, a hot dog or a sandwich? :#

    I personally say no, as it is not between two slices of bread.

    However the US Department of Agriculture describes a sandwich two slices of bread or the top and bottom sections of a bun that encloses meat or poultry. 

    So a beefburger is a sandwich, but a hot dog is not. Since the roll is normally cut mostly from the top down, and not sliced to separate the top from the bottom. The opening is at the top.

    But then while they could send men to the moon, they cannot speak English properly and drive on the wrong side of the road, so what do they know?

    That's interesting! So, will it be a burger sandwich? :D

    A hotdog is actually the name of the sausage in the middle too. Will that change anyone's thoughts? or shall we just eat it like @Sandy_123 says :)<3

    We used to eat bread and dripping sandwiches in the fifties and sixties, swinging or dodgy 👍

    Nope.  It's a sausage in a roll.  That makes it a sausage roll. :#

    But the pastry style ones are sausage rolls, is a hotdog stealing their name? :D
