So if you put a hamburger patty on another form of carbohydrate, does that count as a burger? If you put it in a pitta on or on a pizza? On a naan or in an English muffin? How about a breakfast muffin? Soda cracker? Ritz cracker? Saltine? Chocolate digestive? Inquiring minds want to know.
 

I'm only one American and based on the sandwich alignment chart that floated around a few years ago I am a radical but

A Burger is ground beef, formed into a patty, grilled, and served on a bun. Variations of two steps are allowed before it becomes Not A Burger.

So a grilled ground beef patty can be put on a pita, a muffin, or a chocolate digestive and still be called a burger. A fried mushroom patty on a bun can be a burger. A grilled ground chicken patty on Texas toast is a burger. But a piece of fried chicken on a bun is a chicken sandwich because it is not ground, not a patty, and not grilled. Beef that is shaved or sliced and put on bread is a beef sandwich (and may be an Italian Beef, a Philly cheesesteak, a hoagie, etc.) because it is not ground, not a patty, and not on a bun.

YMMV.

NO!!!

And it has to be on a bun, and you have to be able to eat it with your hands. These are non-negotiable for me.
