It is common to eat hot dogs without buns in Norway. This is because people in Norway often eat hot dogs wrapped in a potato-based flatbread instead ("pølse i lompe") — or in select parts of Norway and Sweden, particularly in the city of Moss in Østfold County, hot dogs may be eaten wrapped in a waffle ("pølse i vaffel" or "pøffel").
This may seem like tangential information but it has huge implications for the "hot dog is a sandwich" debate.
Flat bread is still bread, so I'd say it's still a sandwich, it's like those hamburgers that have doughnuts instead of the traditional buns.
Would this mean that any type of flatbread wrap is a sandwich? Burritos, fajitas, tacos, all sandwiches?
Yes. Pizza is an open face sandwich on focaccia flat bread
Sandwich is when bread
Migas is a sandwich
I say a pizza is a sandwich only when you fold it, or stack it.
Is the KFC double down a sandwich?
Wow, I didn't know that existed, it looks fantastic. But yes, it seems to be marketed as a sandwich.
So then a sandwich doesn't need bread on both sides of the non bread or even any bread at all.
It needs enough bread you can grab it with your hands, this thing has a bread covering on the chicken that I asume is sturdy enough.
Batter is bread...touché. I've seen lettuce leaf tacos, for gluten free weirdos, what's the sandwich verdict there and its not a sandwich, is it a salad?
That's an interesting question, I don't consider corn dogs, or tamales; sandwiches because the bread is not sturdy enough, but I guess lettuce leaf tacos are, so perhaps we should change that to a covering sturdy enough to grab and eat. But somehow without the bread it doesn't feel right. On the other hand I also agree sushi is a sandwich, because rice is bread-like enough.
Leave it to leftists to endlessly debate a settled issue.
Interesting. Didn't think I'd see sushi coming up.
is a quesadilla really so different from a grilled cheese? all sandwiches. bread-like material containing at least one ingredient shaped in a convenient handheld package. new york pizza folded up and held while eating is also technically a sandwich under this definition.
a quesadilla is a ravilolo
ravioli are sliders
where are you getting "sliders" that are closed on the sides? or do you mean something other than the small hamburgers from white castle
Obviously a ravioli is an Uncrustable.
weird to name the 500 year old thing after the 30 year old thing
no they're cannoli if it's a tube, and ravioli if it's all closed.
But remember, it's only a cannoli if it's naturally in that position, if you make it into that position it no longer is (or was it the other way around? It's kind of hard to follow. And by that I mean it's all very clear)
Yes, sushi too.
Are you saying Hillary was a Norge spy?
Alas, the Danish spy Donald ("Dane-ald") Trump won the election instead.
How does lompe compare to lefse? Can you substitute one for the other?
I've seen lefse (or premade mixes) in US Midwestern grocery stores, but never lompe. Is it kind of a pancake mix/waffle mix situation where they're pretty much the same thing, or am I missing something?
It's sort of a fingers and thumbs situation: lompe is basically just a specific type of lefse, in fact it's also known as {potetlefse|potato lefse}, but because of the different names people end up thinking they're different things.
Good to know! Thanks!
So norwegian hotdogs are like pigs in a blanket, but bigger?
This is what pølse i lompe looks like, decide for yourself, though I personally wouldn't say so.
CW meat
That photo is especially vulgar for a hot dog
{ˈpølsə|sausage} → pøltsə → pølts → pølt → pørt → prøt → frøt → frøyt → {fʁɔʏ̯t|Freud}
that shit looks like a tortilla wtf
Lomper and tortillas share the commonality of both being forms of unleavened flatbread, though as said lomper are made from potatoes and tortillas are (traditionally) made from corn/maize.
so it's a potatortilla
Great name for it tbh
Lompe one of the few things that Norway can do better than us in regards to food. Who has the time to eat korv med mos when you're out and about?
You eat a tunnbrödsrulle instead, the ultimate portable full meal.
Sounds delicious
