What I'm Reading This Week #22
Howdy do and welcome to the last Friday of May. 😑 Even though it was a short week, it always seems just a tinge longer than the previous week. I'm getting antsy because I want to see blooms. When you're growing from seed, it requires a patience I don't naturally have and trying to keep things from getting to everything before it has a chance to. Then reading about some God awful hornworm that can just come in and decimate your tomato plants overnight. It makes me wonder at what point do I put up the insect netting over the bucket veggies. Other than that, not much else going on this week. Let's hop straight into: Does Walking Build Muscle, Burn Fat, or Both ? (The part about e-scooters is often a discussion as kids on them and e bikes rocket past us in the park or on a sidewalk going 20 mph. These kids are going to have ZERO muscle.)

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.
