Celebration Weekend Recap
It's Monday again. How do they keep coming faster? Did you get a lot done this weekend or spend it getting into mischief? We started off the weekend right with a Friday night viewing of Spaceballs to honor the newly released news of Spaceballs 2 . It was kind of funny because all I could hear during the movie were the times my dad laughed at certain parts when we went to see it in theaters. I'm glad I have a few good memories like that of him. Several weeks ago, the Mr saw some travel article about an old school donut shop he wanted to go to sometime. (We're suckers for the old school places over the decorate a crappy cake donut places.) This was how he wanted to celebrate his well earned victory on his test last Thursday. We were on the road pretty early. I knew it was supposed to rain in the morning but we didn't care for the dubious looking clouds. It went from ominous to sheeting rain: It got to 5 ft visibility at one poin...
I never think of a hot dog as a sandwich, though I am sure it meets the basic definition of a sandwich too. Then a gyro would as well in that case but I don't think people say gyro sandwich either. So I am with you. I say it is not a sandwich in the vernacular.
ReplyDeleteI don't think of it as a sandwich because then it's not as appealing. Lol. Because in my mind, I'll be deciding between eating a sandwich or a hot dog and categorize them differently. Not dog always wins with me btw. Lol. Fun question!
ReplyDeleteHaha! No! A sandwich in my mind needs 2 pieces of bread. Due to the virus I dont grocery shop as often. So I am eating dogs and brats diagonal on a piece of bread. Growing up we didnt have buns, paper towels, napkins or kleenex. It was wonder bread and to!
ReplyDeleteGreat question!

ReplyDeleteNo, it is not a sandwich because the meat is not sliced and in my mind it needs to be served between to slices of bread. A partially sliced roll is not the same thing. There needs to be two distinct slices of bread product.
ReplyDeleteIn Germany I had sausages from a street vendor in a bun without the bun being sliced at all. I hole was made in the bun, condiments inserted, and then the sausage inserted in the hole. It made eating the sausage while walking much easier, no chance for it to slip out of the bun. Those definitely were not sandwiches.
I do not think of a hotdog/bun or a hamburger/bun as a sandwich. Nor brats/bun.
ReplyDeleteTechnically it meets the definition, but I don't think of it that way either. In college I worked at a fast food place and our burgers/chicken were all "sandwiches" and I thought that was weird too but I got used to it.
ReplyDeleteEvery culture seems to have some version of meat/bread combination that's cheap and portable. I wish someone would write a book because I just think the history of all that would be really interesting. Probably I'm the only one and that's why there is no book.
