      A hotdog is not a sandwich.

      If you serve bacon, lettuce, and tomato on a plate, you do not call that a sandwich.

      But if you serve a hotdog without a bun, you still call it a hotdog.

      QED.

          Do you have a term like “hotdog” for a sausage of questionable origin in a bun? Or is it, like, sausageofquestionableorigininabun like other German compound words? 😁

            The best German word is backfeifengezicht. It means: “a face in need of a slap/punch”

            nah in this case it’s just sausage on its own - i know, boring 😄 people only refer to it as hotdog only if it’s in a bun
