Is a hot dog a sandwich?

[metagloria]

Look guys, this is really simple.

It it's stuff between two slices of bread, that came from a loaf of bread, it's a sandwich.

If it's not that, it's not.

A hot dog is not a sandwich. A hamburger is not a sandwich. A taco is not a sandwich. A calzone is not a sandwich. One slice of pizza upside down on top of another slice of pizza is not a sandwich.

How is it that a calzone is not a sandwich when a Monte Cristo is essentially the same thing and IS considered a sandwich?

...you must have a very different definition of "Monte Cristo" than I do.
