The debate surrounding whether a hot dog qualifies as a sandwich contrasts with the classification of hamburgers, which are clearly sandwiches per Merriam-Webster's definition. While hamburgers are primarily ground beef between buns in the US, other countries have a broader definition of items termed as 'burgers.' In the US, sandwiches are legally defined as meat between bread, whereas hamburgers primarily reflect the type of meat used, showcasing a distinct cultural interpretation of these food classifications.
In the U.S., the term "sandwich" is broad, defined legally as meat between two slices of bread, while "hamburger" often refers specifically to a ground beef patty.
The controversy surrounding whether a hot dog is a sandwich is less applicable to hamburgers, which clearly fit the Merriam-Webster definition of a sandwich.
