"What Is A Hotdog?" and other Lighthearted Other Controversies

Does that make the sauce and cheese a soup? :/

More of a stew.

More of a stew.

Stew in a bread bowl > deep dish pizza. Next time I'm in Chicago I'll go ahead and order that way just to see what happens.

Well, Valentine's Day is over, so you should be reasonably safe.

Canadian bacon

Is that bacon with 25% tariffs on it?

Also, anyone who says 'but the G stands for graphics' is full of shit.

Constipated?

Just that you know, the correct way to pronounce GIF is "GIF" and people who insist on pronouncing it as "GIF" are plain wrong!

Was reminded of this thread at work on Wednesday.  There's a clothing brand called 'Goat' that came in our shipment - a lot of it.  Halfway through, I made a comment that we had so much goat that I was craving Greek food (mmmm, feta...)   

The logo is a bluish goat wearing cool sunglasses.  Many of the T-shirts depict the goat being something else: There was a mint-chip goat sundae (with a bit of waffle cone on the belly), a toasted goat-mallow (with a little flame for a tale), a flamingoat (pink, with four bird legs - a truly eldritch horror) and

A goat hotdog.

And I got to thinking.

Would a gyro be a hotdog?

[Keelan]

Would a gyro be a hotdog?

Wouldn't it be more like a taco than a hotdog, seeing as it's multiple pieces of meat, unlike a hamburger or hotdog?

[Oniya]

Well, that's why I had to explain the shirt image.

Only if I could get J.L. Austin to hand it to me by saying 'Please give me that hotdog.'

This goes to my implying it's more 'taco' than hotdog

I feel like this depends on how we all see pita. (...which is delicious, and now I want to make myself some toasted pita bread today)

Do we see pita bread as more akin to taco shell...or do we see it as more akin to a typical bread bun?

This is why the "number of sides that have carbs" metric from up-thread doesn't always work, because sometimes you get a very atypical carb like pita that feels like a game-changer. *nodnod*

4 sides of carb = sushi

[Geeklet]

Pica isn't 4 sides, though. Honestly, I am inclined to say sideways bread bowl.

[Geeklet]

Pita, I mean. Ducking autocorrect

the gyros I've eaten are rolled like a burrito almost, though,  which is top, bottom, side, and other side, but no carb front or back.

Does that mean burritos cannot have an open end? What if I pack too much food in my burritos, that my sad, store-bought tortillas cannot compete and must have an opening to make room? Are they un-burrito'd? :c 

Are egg-rolls burritos? Are they chimichangas because they're fried? 

So many things to think of .. 

[Blythe]

I think this is the new controversial question of the thread, honestly, because right now this is living rent-free in my head.

Great minds of Elliquiy, please debate what an eggroll qualifies as!

My southerner ass doesn't know which term is the most 'correct' one, but I've heard them referred to as taquitos, tacos dorados, and flautas, and that's my vote.

Totally unrelated, but I'm about to order Mexican and walk to pick it up soon...

[imalux]

I am a fan of making pizza egg-rolls myself, so a hybridization of heavily Americanized Italian food/Chinese food fusion (without any actual Chinese element). Its basically like, a mozzarella stick... but without the breading and instead mozzarella placed with turkey pepperoni in an egg roll wrapper. Lightly fried and you dip it in marinara sauce... 

It's very good and I highly recommend it. 

Egg rolls COULD be like chimichangas, since they're closed ends like a burrito is meant to be, and fried, like a chimichanga is a fried burrito ... hmm

[7andFour]

Lasagna is cake. That is all.

Hmm.... Cow Cake ?

....by this series definitions, I think I'm either Structure Neutral/Ingredient Neutral, or I'm Structure Purist/Ingredient Neutral in RL

[Oniya]

Come on.  Everyone knows that a Pop-Tart is a calzone.   

[TheLaughingOne]

mmm... According to the chart...
Could argue that a calzone is Structural Rebel, ingredient purist.. from a point of view..;3
Pepperoni and salami, coldcuts commonly found on sandwiches.
Cheese.
pizza sauce (tomato based sauce like ketchup)
... ok, dont got lettuce and not even i am bold enough to claim basil leaves as equivalent.

[Laughing Hyena]

Definitely a structural purist, ingredient rebel. Dessert as a sandwich is very underrated and is the equivalent of a PB&J in my boom.

[Cosmo_ac]

So, are mashed potatoes just Irish Guacamole?
