I never paid attention to this thread, Colbert asked Ruth Bader Ginsburg about it last night. "Is a hot dog a sandwich?", and I immediately thought about this thread.

As long as this debate is stretching to infinity... Are skinless hot dogs sausages?

I say no because the formal definition of sausage explicitly mentions it having a skin:

a cylindrical length of minced and seasoned pork, beef, or other meat encased in a skin, typically sold raw to be grilled, boiled, or fried before eating.

They are sausages because they are made in a skin (usually foodsafe plastic), which is removed once cooked/cured and packaged.

The definition is explicit that the sausage must be encased in a skin. Not formed in one and removed. With no encasing you have ground meat.

What about salami? A sausage?

 

[Mr Tree]

What about salami? A sausage?

Salami’s come in a wide variety of forms but original salami’s had skin and even when it doesn’t it typically has a cellulose casing.

Merriam Webster says “usually”
Not explicit.
Of course hot dogs are sausages.

Definition of sausage
: a highly seasoned minced meat (such as pork) usually stuffed in casings of prepared animal intestine; also : a link or patty of sausage

I haven't watched it yet, but the idea is pure genius.

I'd probably jump three feet in the air. And then (hopefully) laugh and ask for some onions.

How about this delicious (and ironic) BLT?

First of all, let me say that this thread is fantastic!

If you put a Hebrew National frank in between two pieces of matzah, is it a sandwich?

Over on The Gear Page (guitars and stuff), there was an ongoing argument about whether a hamburger was a sandwich. Lots of ill will, and possibly some bannings over it!

I do not trust any American dictionary as the language wasn't invented here.

Oxford dictionary: "sandwich; noun: An item of food consisting of two pieces of bread with a filling between them, eaten as a light meal".

Obviously the below is 100% a sandwich, but it would be very hard to argue that it's a light meal.

That's not a sandwich, that's a meat mountain that accidentally fell into some bread.

Define 'bread'.

It would be a light meal for 12 people..

That is an abomination. Only acceptable spreads for bagels are: cream cheese, whitefish salad or butter.

So Spaghettio sandwich checks out.

Don't forget to deep fry it!

(and butter the bread, obviously)
