What I'm Reading This Week #24
Sup y'all! Welcome to flop sweat season (and Friday!) I hope you had a good week and stayed cool. I had to wave the flag and pull all of the 'impatiens' I grew from seed as that is not the plant I apparently bought. I'm still going round with the people I got them from because dammit, I want a refund. So I had to go to the nursery and get regular impatiens to replace the ones I pulled. It's already nicer to see actual color instead of looking out everyday and wonder WTF they're going to turn into other than some rando plant with a thick, juicy stem. Not that the ones I got look a ton better as they too are leggy. I don't know what the deal is with that. I also grabbed some chives half off to plant with the zinnias to keep the aphids at bay. Who knows if it'll actually work or not, we'll see. Now let's see: 9 Foot Exercises to Try at Home (I've been doing these over the last week and oochie owie for my weak azz feet...
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.
