Is a Hot Dog a Sandwich?



Hot dogs are processed protein, surrounded by processed carbohydrate so one might call them a sandwich. On the other hand, hot dogs are cylindrical in shape rather than prismatic, and vertical rather than horizontal in orientation. Here are five reasons why the hot dog is not the same as a sandwich:
 
1.   Imagine being at the ballpark with the organ playing, the crowd cheering and a vendor walking through the stands saying “Sandwich, get your sandwich here!”
 
2.   If you were watching a great athlete showing off during a game, you don’t call him a sandwich.
 
3.   Dirty Harry would not have sounded nearly as ominous if he said, “Never ever put mayo on a sandwich.” But when he said, “Never ever put ketchup on a hot dog,” people sat up and listened.
 
4.   Marlene Dietrich didn’t say that champagne and sandwiches were her favorite foods; it was champagne and hot dogs she loved.
 
5.   Babe Ruth wasn’t sent to the hospital and rumored to be dead because he ate too many sandwiches.

 With lovingkindness,
