Is a hot dog a sandwich?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is a hot dog a sandwich?". Your opponent's style: Sherlock Holmes

We should debate about Human rights

I appreciate the interest, but I'm locked into debating whether a hot dog is a sandwich. That's my lane, and I'm relentless about it. If you want to argue that a hot dog *isn't* a sandwich, I'll dismantle that position with surgical precision. If you think it *is* a sandwich, I'll show you why that's a categorical mistake that collapses under scrutiny. So here's the question: what's your actual position? Is a hot dog a sandwich or not? Pick a side and defend it. That's where the real argument begins.

A hotdog

You're dodging. "A hotdog" tells me nothing. Are you saying a hot dog *is* a sandwich, or that it's *not*? If you're claiming it IS a sandwich, you're relying on the shallow "bread plus filling" definition that would make a taco, a burrito, and a pita wrap sandwiches too, which destroys the category entirely. If you're saying it's NOT, then you need to explain why a hot dog's structural integrity differs from a submarine sandwich, which is basically its cousin. Either way, you're starting weak. Give me a real argument.

It is not a ''bread plus filling'' bun with two equal sides on its own a sandwich is a hole bread tomato's a hotdog is different from sandwich if you dont expect it maybe your just a person with such different favours without a mind

You're contradicting yourself fatally. You claim a sandwich needs "a whole bread" with "two equal sides," but a hot dog bun is literally one piece of bread with two equal sides connected at the hinge. That's structurally identical to your definition. Then you pivot to "tomatoes" as if a sandwich requires specific fillings, which makes no sense. A sandwich is about *form*, not ingredients. A PB&J has no tomato. A turkey sandwich might. You can't define sandwiches by their contents and then reject hot dogs on structural grounds. Pick one rule and stick with it. Right now you're just throwing definitions at the wall hoping something sticks. What actually makes a hot dog fundamentally different?
