Burger me!

[payn]

Yes. If its in a bun its a burger.

Well, no, but I understand now.

Texas Toast also counts, at least to some.

It certainly counts at Jack in the Box. The Sourdough Jack is definitely a burger.

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

*If the pizzas were roughly the size of the burger and there were two, yes

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.

There’s burger joints & restaurants (usually diners & steakhouses) in the USA that serve burgers with alternative patties. Variants besides beef I’ve had:

Bison (buffalo)
Boar
Ostrich
Chicken
Turkey
Pork
Beef/pork blend
Venison
Mushroom cap
Mushroom/beef blend
Camel
Black Bean/Tofu* beef simulants

And those weren’t exhaustive of the options.



* unfortunately for me, while I liked the flavors of most of the beef simulants I’ve had, every one of them has triggered mild allergic reactions.
