To make a sandwich, there has to be (at least) two pieces of bread or bread substitute. A wrap is not a sandwich. A hot dog in a bun is not a sandwich. If you rip the bun in two and put a hot dog in there? Still not a sandwich, because the bun should be remain intact to keep the chili from dripping on your hand.

Were hot dog buns invented specifically for hot dogs? Or did they exist before the hot dog for some other purpose? What did we eat hot dogs on before the bun?

Which came first, the hot dog or the bun?

Thanks to GBBO, I know that what we would call a hot dog bun is sometimes used to make an "iced bun", where the center has whipped cream and jam and then the top is iced. Even to me, a big fan of sugar and bread, this seems like a ridiculous amount of sugar and white bread.

GBBO taught me that macarons are delicious. For some reason I thought they were hard and coconutty (I dislike coconut), but instead they're something I have to talk myself out of buying at the bakery at the fancy-schmancy grocery store down the road.

The coconut ones are macaroons, with 2 Os. Macarons are the fancy awesome ones.

I could argue that a club sandwich is just two sandwiches stacked on each other.

You could, but you would be wrong.

I prefer macaroons, because I like coconut and find macarons to be better to look at than to eat.

That doesn't mean I'm not going to make them some time!

I STILL DO NOT HAVE INTERNET AT HOME AND WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE!!!

Oh dear! Do you have an ETA or what?

When we didn't have hot dog buns, my grandma would split the hot dog and lay it on bread, making a sandwich, I think. Also in old recipe books, sandwiches seem to be wired pastes and minced things.

Au Bon Pain has awesome coconut macaroons, with dried cherries and dark chocolate.
