I challenge the 35% meat, 50% bread rule. That means that the majority of sandwiches are not sandwiches. Tuna sandwich, grilled cheese sandwich, egg salad sandwich, a whole lot of basic sandwiches with just a slice of cold cut and cheese, most baguette sandwiches, sandwiches made with bagels, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, literally any healthy sandwich that has large amounts of veggies compared to meat, and most breakfast sandwiches.

The definition of a sandwich from a dictionary is "an item of food consisting of two pieces of bread with meat, cheese, or other filling between them, eaten as a light meal"

Item of food✓

Eaten as light meal✓

2 pieces of bread with filling between✓ (but only if the bun is separated into two halves)

So I'd say a hot dog is a sandwich if the bun is separated, but if so, is it still a hot dog? The definition of a hot dog is "a grilled or steamed link-sausage sandwich where the sausage is served in the slit of a partially sliced bun".

So a hot dog with a separated bun.

Grilled/steamed link-sausage✓

Served in a PARTIALLY sliced bun🚫

(It does, however, define the hot dog as a type of sandwich in the hot dog definition)
