Hamburger
A hamburger is a hunk of ground beef served between two pieces of bun-configured bread. Hamburgers are often served with a variety of toppings and condiments. It is named for the region in which it was invented, not for the kind of meat (as is often mistakenly suggested).
Are hamburgers sandwiches?
Well according to the actual definition of a "sandwich," which is two slices of bread with meat, cheese/condiments in between them, yes, a hamburger is a sandwich.
I remember I had an argument with a friend if smores are sandwiches or not.... I still stand by the fact that I dont count it as a sandwich!
Things between two pieces of bread are sandwiches. Soup and cereal are the same thing. Coffe and tea are the same thing.

Are you putting milk in soup?
Clam chowder can be made out of milk or cream and you can put milk in tomato soup and those are just off the top of my head.

Does that mean a hotdog is a sandwich?
If you slice the hot dogs in half, then lay them out on the bread, that would be a sandwich.
Now, if you are saying that a traditional style hot dog is a sandwich, that is incorrect. The proper definition of a sandwich is that it is meat and condiments between TWO pieces of bread means that a traditionally made hot dog does not get classified as a sandwich since a hot dog bun is ONE piece of bread wrapped around the hot dog.

I wanna know why it's called a HAMburger when it's not ham. Cowburger?Same question I asked myself earlier today.
Hamburgers were named after the place they were invented: Hamburg, Germany.

So the only logical conclusion is that a hotdog is a sub sandwich. I don't see how ordering a "hotdog sub" would be different than ordering a hotdog. So i guess it's technically a kind of sandwich.

THANK YOU!!! I've been trying to explain that to people for years. IMO, any mean, veggies, and/or condiment between bread is a sandwich. Just like putting Felafel in Pita is a sandwich.
ham·burg·er (hmbûrgr) also ham·burg (-bûrg)
n.1.a. Ground meat, usually beef.
b. A patty of such meat.
2. A sandwich made with a patty of ground meat usually in a roll or bun.
Yes. I define sandwich as any kind of meat between two pieces of bread.
Therefore, I do not consider the Subway Veggie Delight sub a sandwich.

Good Sir! myself and master Darcy must scoff at this and lay down our scones and muffins and point you at the quintessentialy English Cucumber Sandwich. It's an entirely dissapointing and watery tasting morsel but nevertheless! a sandwich in name!

@PrivateIronTFU: And what of the grilled cheese sandwich?
Hey! Stop looking for flaws in my nonsensical argument!
YES THEY ARE!
I just wanted to bring this thread back.
You're doing God's work, son. And yes, they are sandwiches.

They're padded meatcakes. ~ Duh!
Not sandwich.
