Is a hotdog a sandwich? Seriously!

But the best are Dodger Dogs at Dodger Stadium but perhaps it is because I was eating while I was at my first baseball game watching Sandy Koufax pitch.
I actually got to meet Koufax and Drysdale. My Grandfather worked for the stadium. I still have a Bill Bailey Louisville Slugger 28, I got on bat day. I had a Roger Marris 41 bat also, but it somehow got lost over the years...The Bailey is kinda white, but be maple. The Marris was hickory, for sure. In North Hollywood, Drysdale owned a place called Drysdale's Dugout. Nowadays, I HATE the Dodgers and despise how O'Malley stole Chavez Ravine from the people. Seems Koufax had the fastest pitch in his day, but that was back in the 60s. I lived in North Hollywood, and my first house was in Van Nuys.

And speaking of "Dodger Dogs", my little sister had a great memory of them. She lives in Seattle now and goes to the Mariners all the time, but she got her husband to take her to Dodger Stadium so she could get a "Dodger Dog", and was she ever disappointed to see they were serving tacos and tamales...and she got a "Dodger Dog" and it sucked! LOL
 
So. If a hotdog is a sandwich having only one piece of hinged bread like a submarine sandwich and you can put all maner of topings, condiments and other paraphernalia, how do we square this against a taco? Or Barreto for that matter?

Okay okay I'll play along!!!!

Upon deep introspection and analysis of the data I believe this is a classic case of "letter of the law vs spirit of the law". Or of the difference between wisdom and knowledge.

The classic example being

"knowledge is knowing that a tomato is technically a fruit. Wisdom is not putting tomatoes in a fruit salad".

I think technically yes absolutely a hot dog is a subset, an individual species, "Frankfurticus Maximus" or "Schnitzelschack Americanus" perhaps of the genus "A. Sandwichii" - it's meat in between bun/bread product, technically a sandwich. Letter of the law sandwich. Knowledge sandwich.

But I argue that in the spirit of the law and wisdom and common sense…

A HOT DOG IS NOT A SANDWICH.

You could argue it is and use a dictionary and technicalities and letter of the law reasoning and knowledge divorced from reason…..

But the REAL PROOF is in your heart, your gut reaction, your intrinsic knowledge that you don't have to convince yourself is true, because you just know it, in your bones….the REAL PROOF is that if your friend walked up to you with some hot dogs and said

"Hey man I got us some sandwiches"

Your unthinking and immediate reflex is to say "that ain't a sandwich….."

Tell me I'm wrong!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
You are the king!!!
