Toasted sourdough pastrami sandwich, with spinach, red onion, avocado, red capsicum, homemade pickles, mayo and mustard. It was decidedly too big to eat in typical sandwich form, so this was how it was consumed.

Wrap form (cos lettuce instead of spinach):

So, is a hot dog a wrap, then? What if the bun separates into two pieces? Does it transform into a sandwich?

    It's a category error. It's not made of sliced bread. A sandwich is made of sliced bread. Not buns, not rolls, not barms not bread cakes. Like a wagon can have 4 wheels but it doesn't make it a car. A sandwich is sliced bread with stuff inside.

    Not arguing, I looked up what the different types of sandwiches are, and Wikipedia does include open-faced sandwiches.. So maybe it's just one of those things that are more of an opinion thing, or varies by country?

    Though I do agree, that "sandwich", in the traditional sense, is ingredients between two slices of bread.
