They are not going to make you think you are eating a hot dog, but they work for me in a pinch when I need a quick, healthy lunch or snack. For burger substitutes, I really like the Beyond Meat brand, which absolutely could fool me. Not a huge caloric difference perhaps, but no cholesterol is definitely healthier for a lot of people who need to be concerned about that. I also really like their plant-based breakfast sausage links. Morningstar Farms also makes a good and healthy plant-based breakfast sausage link. Not a meat substitute, but the Country Crock plant-based Avocado Butter is probably the best substitution we've made in recent years, for all purposes except cooking (i.e., when butter is an ingredient in a recipe). And don't get me wrong: I still eat a few real hot dogs a year, and at least a half-dozen beef burgers. And turkey burgers at least twice a month (my wife makes great ones). And a handful of pork burgers, too. As for the original question, I think we need to know by whom. Merriam-Webster may say yes, but no one I know refers to a hot dog (or a burger, or taco) as a sandwich. Look at menus where you eat. One local place puts sandwiches, hot dogs, burgers and wraps all in the "hand held" category, which works for me. But in common usage among people I hear speak, a hot dog is not considered a sandwich. [/QUOTE]
