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.

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.
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.

And they all qualify as sandwich

Gonna need an explanation on the tortillas. Wikipedia says flatbread.
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.

Those chicken strip tacos are liars.

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.

I can’t argue with that and accept it, yes

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