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.

  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.”
