What I'm Reading This Week #27
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've got the day off to enjoy. I would really appreciate the weather dialing it back from Satan's taint to dryish heat please. I'm not even asking for much. Like 83 degrees would make me happy at this point but there's no end in sight to the 90's. The Mr and I have both been plagued with migraines this week. He had a two day event and I had an ocular migraine which is just so crappy to deal with since you can't read or do anything until your vision isn't screwed up. I got to wait on hold for an hour Tuesday with the state tax department so I decided to sand and prime the newel post while listening to hold music designed to make you hang up. To quote Bugs Bunny "he don't know me vewy well, do he?" I got that squared away and later went out between pop up storms to deadhead some zinnias which you may have seen in Wednesday's post. Speaking of Wednesday, it was a busy day in the ga...
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.
