...but there's a rotating hotdog. That's not a sandwich.

I agree. People always talk about technicalities, ingredients, structure, etc. in this argument.

For me, the main reason why a hotdog isn't a sandwich is that you can't use the two interchangeably. I would never go up to a hotdog stand and ask for a sandwich.

[elpocko]

Right. That's why hotdogs are not even food, or organic matter. I would never go up to a hotdog stand and ask for organic matter.

I think hot dogs are vegetarian but not vegan. As in, the stuff in a hotdog may or may not require the killing of the animal.

A sandwich is not an ontological category and should be eradicated.

Agreed, please send me all of the hotdogs for safe disposal. Also bratwursts, especially bratwursts
