Oh dear

Made this months ago ~~for~~ because of @Chickenstalker@lemmy.world

If you try to give me a pizza with lettuce on it hands will be thrown (up in the air in disgust)
- sorry to say it but you're just subjectively wrong
- Lettuce, cucumber and Dijon mustard pizza
- It's not my first choice but I fuck with a cheeseburger pizza:
  The lettuce must be added after cooking but it's a fun crunch
- Sounds like you've never had a taco pizza, and I'm sad for you

I get the whole “cube rule” thing, but a taco is FOLDED and a hot dog bun is CUT.

Mechanically these are very different required preparation steps.

Further, tacos use fried tortillas which are technically cake.

Hot dogs are not tacos. If you fry a cake, fold it, abc add toppings then that is a taco. When you cut into a bun and add toppings, that’s a sub. Hot dogs are subs, not tacos.

Gonna need an explanation on the tortillas. Wikipedia says flatbread.
- Tortillas are pancakes
  The word tortilla is derived from the Spanish word torta, meaning roughly 'cake' or 'pie', plus the diminutive suffix -illa; therefore tortilla can be translated as 'little cake'.
  If flatbread then maybe tacos are pizza.
- Flour tortillas are definitely flatbread.
  Corn tortilla.. I'm not sure. I really just don't know, but I'd still consider a taco to be a sandwich.
While I appreciate the topological approach, I hold to a linguistic and practical reason for a hot dog, as it is usually eaten, not (typically) being a sandwich:
what does it mean for a thing to be "sandwiched"? It means pressed on two sides, held together by the force of that pressure.
what is the difference between a hot dog and a hero/po-boy/sub? Well, heros and po-boys are held together by the bread. You can turn them on their side, and they should not fall apart, because the primary force holding them together is pressure on either side of the bread. Hot dogs, at least in my limited experience, are defined by their toppings, which are placed atop the frankfurter, and held in place by gravity alone.
As such I give my typology: if the primary force holding your dish together is pressure on two sides from a retaining material? Sandwich. If the primary force holding it together is gravity? That bread is being used as a trencher. As such, most hot dogs, most tacos, bread bowls and other such things are all basically just a version of a bread bowl or bread plate. For this reason, I call them "Trenchers". Pizza is not primarily held together by gravity or by sandwiching forces, and thus is normally neither of these. Pizza's primary force maintaining its integrity is the cheese and other sticky things holding onto any toppings. As such, pizza would be equivalent to toast with spread, cheese, and other toppings, similar to garlic bread. All functionally just "adorned breads".
So, to reiterate, I don't disagree that hot dogs can be sandwiches, but in general practice, I do not believe they qualify, much like most tacos do not qualify.
- pizza is a casserole
so if I fold hotdog in a piece of sandwich bread; is that now a taco?
- If it's Subway bread, which is cake, then yes.
- I can’t argue with that and accept it, yes
tacos use fried tortillas which are technically cake.
Absurd claim
Since when is cake fried?
- Since the south got ahold of it:

So a soup with noodles is nachos but a soup without noodles is a salad.
What is the definition of noodles in this scenario?
Is a Potato soup a salad and a Gnocchi soup Nachos?
Is it the adding of carbs in general or is it specifically noodles?
What about wild rice soup? Wild rice is a seed. So is it a Salad or a Nacho?
Also, why is a Turducken a salad? Prepared correctly its a sushi or even a calzone.
Also also the cube itself, does it have to be a carb outer layer? Pigs in a blanket are considered a sushi but what of smoked sausages wrapped in bacon?
- Potatoes are a starch, ergo, nachos.
That actually made me angry.
- Unfortunately, it's the only classification system that makes sense in our chaotic world.
wait, my favorite pasta which i'm definitely getting banned if i say the name of it (way better than raviolis, better ratio of inside to outside) is a sandwich according to the poptartists?
also i disagree that their sushi category should be called sushi. it should be donuts because humans are not flesh sushi (that's redundant) they are flesh donuts.
Ah a fellow cube ruler

- There's not a single illustration in that wall of text. 0/10, would not make a sandwich out of it.

taco is a sandwich too

I'm here for this!

Well what is a sandwich? According to marriage webster:

two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between

Well damn, that sounds like a hotdog!

Well damn that sounds like a taco!

I will often take two hotdogs, cut them in half longitudinally, and lay those out on two pieces sandwich bread.

Ergo...hotdog sandwich.

Hot dogs are specific type of sandwich. Tacos are a sub genre of sandwich. 🥪🌭🌮

Taco

a Mexican dish consisting of a fried tortilla, typically folded, filled with various mixtures, such as seasoned meat, beans, lettuce, and tomatoes.

Google dictionary

Hot dog is like it's own category. You can make all kinds of dogs. Hot dog, veggie dog, smokie dog, chicken dog... If it's got a weiner then it's a dog.

And they all qualify as sandwich
- Only if you eat them in a bun

Oh, it's a taco alright!

Taco is just a sandwich, silly.

Tacos have loose meat

Those chicken strip tacos are liars.

look Gonzo i don't know where any farmfowl titty bars are okay. i don't even know if those exist
Sandwiches can have "loose meat" as well. Cheese steak and chopped cheese are two that come to mind.
