I just got into 45 minute debate with a friend over whether a pulled pork sandwich counts as a burger
I'm sane so I obviously said no, but it led to heated argument and neither of us have come to a conclusion
What is the definition of a burger and does a pulled pork sandwich fit into it?

>> No.13934876

Anything with a rounded bun is a burger. Sandwich is when the bread is square.

Burgers are some shit ground up, formed into a patty, and served on a bun. Of course there are exceptions (chicken patties on a bun are sandwiches even if made from reconstituted meat, and a protein style burger is still a burger, etc.), but of fucking course a pulled pork sandwich isn't a burger. How stupid are you that you actually listened to that schlock for 45 minutes?

>> No.13934922

A burger is ground meat in a round patty shape that has been either grilled or fried, then put onto a bun.

A <_____ meat sandwich> is anything else.

A burger has minced beef.

Pork? Not a burger.
Chicken? Not a burger.
Beef steak? Not a burger.
Vegan? Not a burger.

The ONLY EXCEPTION to this is if it's used as a synonym for american.

A burger is a type of hot sandwich that has 2 essential ingredients. A bun and a patty. Pulled pork is not a burger since the pork is not formed into a patty.

If it is not on a bun, or if the middle of the sandwich does not contain a formed patty, it is not a burger.

>> No.13936102

>>13934752
imo burgers must have ground meat patties
beef, chicken or pork doesnt matter as long as it's ground and cooked as a patty

also round buns traditionally but a burger patty between 2 slices of bread would still be a burger the way i see it

pulled pork on round buns is not a burger

You're just being pedantic. He clearly means sandwich bread. If you have a patty on sandwich style bread, AKA cut from a loaf and not a bun, it is not a burger it is a patty melt.

He's still a retard though, a bun does not immediately make something a burger. There needs to be a formed patty as well.

This. It doesn't even matter what the patty is made of, but it must be a patty.

I do not agree with this. It is a melt, or a misc. sandwich, not a burger.

What do you think constitutes a burger, just the patty? I mean I get that line of thinking, but I don't agree.

I'm torn on the "hot" part. Should an intended warm temperature be a prerequisite? Does the atty need to be cooked?
Is a macaroni and cheese bun a bun that qualifies?

You're all a bunch of retards. A HAMburger must contain ham.

>> No.13936729

>>13936696
I think then it comes down to personal beliefs. For me anything other than a bun makes it not a burger, but some other misc. sandwich. Additionally, if a "burger" is served cold it is not a burger. If it was prepared warm, then you put it in your fridge and ate it later, then it would classify as a left over burger.

If it wasn't for the internet I would never have known the rest of the world calls everything on a hamburger bun a "burger". We invented your McChicken sandwich and your KFC Zang Zinger or whatever. It's called a fucking sandwich. Hamburger, cheeseburger, turkey burger, veggie burger. That's it. There are no more burgers.

BRING OUT
THE CHART

>> No.13937730

In America, a burger is a sandwich made with either a ground beef patty, or something imitating it, like a turkey burger or veggie burger

A beef patty on sandwich bread is still a burger (a burger is a type of sandwich after all), but something with a chicken patty like a McChicken is not a burger, it's a chicken sandwich
