Is a hotdog on a bun, a sandwich? You have your bread, meat, condiments? Just wondering.

In Boston, you can get a lobster or clam sandwich on a roll. They don't call it a lobster or a clam .

Edit to add--they call them them lobster or clam rolls. Sorry.

1. Only if you split the hotdog.

[debm55]

2. Why would it be a sandwich then? Some people put the same things they put on sandwiches on a hotdog

on a roll.

3. This is a discussion I've had with my son more than once

We agree that a hot dog is a sandwich then...

What about a quesadilla?
A taco?
Isn't a pizza just an open-faced sandwich?
It goes on and on...what about lasagna?

[debm55]

5. Would an openfaced sandwich be a true sandwich if it only has one slice of bread? Lasagna has no

bread.

23. Yes. In Scandinavia sandwiches are almost always open-faced.

10. A taco is a hot dog

As is a gyro.

4. I say yes, a hotdog is a sandwich.

[EYESORE 9001]

6. When I was an early teen, I had lunch at a friend's house

On the menu were ‘dick dog sandwiches’, which included split, fried weenies and slices of hard boiled eggs. On slices of white bread. When in Rome, so they say. I didn’t hate it, but I’d never make such a thing on my own. It’s meat (meat plus, actually) in bread, so it’s a sandwich AFAIC.

Regarding the sammich described above, conduct your search carefully

9. Doesn't sound very good,

[EYESORE 9001]

13. Oh, it wasn't good

I was glad I didn’t toss up.

[Ptah]

7. Next up, "Is it a boat or a ship?"

[debm55]

8. It's a ship

[BlackSkimmer]

22. Now post a pic of a large submarine and an oceangoing tug.

[debm55]

27. A boat is much smaller then a ship.

[Fla Dem]

11. They call them a lobster roll or clam roll.

[debm55]

12. You're right. My mistake. Then why do we call a hotdog on a bun, just a hotdog and not a not a

hot dog on a bun? Someone says "I serving hotdogs, you know you are getting the bun. In my opinion, a lobster roll is also a sandwich.

[EYESORE 9001]

14. I had lobster roll a couple of years ago while on a whirlwind tour of New England

I don’t think I’d want one made anywhere else.

[debm55]

15. They are the best. SO is from Boston. He prefers the clam.

[EYESORE 9001]

16. I've never had clam roll

Don’t recall seeing it, for that matter. I lived for a time in CT, but I didn’t get to Boston all that often. I had lobster roll in Boston a couple years ago, but whirlwind tour and all, not much time to visit Boston.

[debm55]

17. The clams used in fried clams in Boston are larger pieces. Outside of Boston you get these thin

pieces. You really need to go--especially Boston Market. The only thing I didn't like was the end of the plane runway at Logan is directly over the ocean.

[Chakaconcarne]

18. No, it's a hot dog...

No need to complicate anything.

That is my opinion.

[debm55]

19. It's a hot dog on the grill. When you take it off the grill and put it in the bun, what is it? Is it

a sandwich. things to ponder.

[usonian]

20. There is no roll like a New England hot dog roll.

I miss them so much since the days of Kelly's on Revere Beach.
Lobster roll!!

West of Mass, you can't get them, but Trader Joe's (THANK YOU JOE) offers a brioche version.



Now I can have hot dogs, tuna salad, and (if I could find decent lobster) lobster roll.

Anything else is just two starch planes.

[debm55]

21. You are so right. Try them with fried clams.

[milestogo]

24. Hot dogs are totally gross.

I've eaten plenty in my life, but no more.

[debm55]

25. Have you tried Moringstar's veggie hot dog?

[milestogo]

26. No, but I do eat other Morningstar products.

I used to go by the Oscar Meyer plant and I did a brief computer project there. The computers smelled like hot dogs. Even in the office area, you couldn't get away from the smell.
