Those two examples are built differently despite what you’re trying to claim

I claimed they were fundamentally different: nigiri sushi is a toast. Pigs in blanket, though the blanket should be bacon, is a sushi. They're very different.

Pigs in blanket is nothing like a corn dog, you take that back. A corn dog is clearly a Calzone being encased in all sides, and pig in blanket is delicious, 2 ways they differ.

You show any Italian a corn dog and they'll ask you "what is this calzone. I just did they said:

Vai via, sciocco inglese!

I think 'inglese' is Italian for calzone.

Nigiri sushi is clearly an open-faced sandwich, especially since you can easily rearrange it into a sushi roll without changing the ingredients.

This argument doth butter no turnips! Take a pancake batter, cook it in a pan it's a carb ready to be made into a toast... Cook it in hot oil, in a muffin tin, you got a Yorkshire pudding, clearly different food despite having the same ingredients: toad in the hole is very obviously not a toast, or an open faced sandwhich: it's a bread bowl. Same components does not mean same food. Take cake batter and don't cook it, it's a nice dessert soup, I prefer Victoria sponge batter to the cake. But simply heating it up, you don't get hot soup, you get a robust platform to build a toast, or a sushi (jam roly poly). All fundamentally different.
