I think a hot dog is a sandwich

[bugspray]

For me a sandwich is when the contents of the sandwich are surrounded on two sides by the same material and are exposed to the outside world and also the two sides must be at least kind of parallel (like at a 30 degree angle max I think)

So some stuff that isnt a sandwich imo:
* calzone
* pizza
* burrito
* poptart

but a taco is a sandwich

also it doesnt have to be food so if you get your head squeezed between thighs then congratulations you are part of a sandwich

I think that if the inside food is completely engulfed by another material it stops being a sandwich. The contents being exposed to the open air and looking at them before you take a bite is an important part of the entire sandwich experience

Although if you slice up a calzone or stromboli I could see an argument that the individual pieces can be considered sandwiches.

I'd definitely categorie fully engulfed stuff as a pie it seems convenient to keep the likes of apple pie and pumpkin pie together

Don't you feel silly now

a pizza pie isn't a pie

yes

The cube rule sucks. It separates maki and sushi and then fails to account for sashimi which absolutely should be categorized together.

[bugspray]

how have you not known about the cube rule yet

No

A hot dog is not an Effing taco

Get that out of here

yes but is the hot dog a sandwich?
i'd say so absolutely, it's a hoagie

Is a corndog a lollipop?
Without the stick I think it could be in the calzone category but the stick is inedible material which throws things off

[bugspray]

I'm sure your saliva will eventually break down the corndog with the power of enzymes
