Is a Hotdog a Sandwich?

Key Takeaways

[Music] welcome to our Google webmasters channel and to today's episode of ask Google webmasters today we'll look into a question submitted by Andrew this has been on my mind and is definitely not site-specific but is up for much debate in our office is a hot dog a sandwich I have to say this is a pretty unique question and one I've not had to spend too much time on before looking around I found some prior art on Reddit which I linked to below to be honest I don't have a definitive answer sorry part of the problem here is that hot dogs in Switzerland are quite different than those in the US so what do you mean an American or a European hot dog I'm also quite certain that these vary across countries and regions in Europe too so there's that as well let's assume for the sake of argument that you're asking about a typical Swiss hot dog has IC sold at train stations while going to work well these are essentially half a bucket with a hole in the middle and a sausage stuffed into it the condiments generally include your choice of either ketchup or mustard dripped into the hole beforehand on the one hand a baguette is clearly a kind of bread which can be used to make a sandwich on the other hand it's not cut into slices in short a hot dog is obviously not as Irish and instead if I remember my Mexican food properly it's clearly kind of enchilada that's it there are other opinions and I wouldn't say that they're definitely wrong for example while researching this topic with the team we discovered the so called cube you love food according to which a local hot dog would be a sushi or an American hot dog with a bread slice open on one side would be considered a taco obviously at this point I'm getting kind of hungry so maybe we should just stop recording and take a break the only thing I'm really sure about is that I won't be having a hot dog for lunch because that's just way too confusing anyway thanks for watching and catch you next time when we talk about more serious topics like perhaps canonicalization [Music]
