Are hamburgers sandwiches?

[pete6032]

Well?

 

[BoomerD]

hamburger is the meat...added to a bun...or two (or more) slices of bread = hamburger sammich.

 

[bigboxes]

Yes

 

[Malogeek]

In USA? Yes.

Back in Australia? No.

 

[gorobei]

bread mapped cubically to main ingredient yields 6 results.
1 side = open face sandwich or pizza or tostada
2 sides(opposing) = sandwich
3 sides(side+bottom+side) = taco or hot dog
4 sides(top+bottom+2 opposing sides ie cylinder) = cannoli or taquito/flauta
5 sides(bottom+4sides) = tart or open top pie or shumai dimsum
6 sides(full enclosure) = burrito or pasty or ravioli

upon taking a bite out of a burrito it then becomes 5 sided and therefore a shumai.
if you break the hotdog bun along the hinge while eating, it goes from taco to sandwich.
a pie is 5 sided, but if you take out a slice it becomes 3 sided and therefore a taco.

First I would need to know ... Is hamburger Ham ? Then I can Answer the question you propose.

Technically they are, but to my ears it always sounds weird to hear them referred to as such. To me a Sandwich is a very general term applied to a Sliced Bread concoction with a wide variety of ingredients in the middle. A Hamburger uses a specific type of Bread Bun, always contains some type of Meat or Meat Substitute Patty, and various other ingredients.

I think the main reason it sounds weird to me is that it is redundant. Kinda like saying "Trouser Pants" or "Tuna Fish", Trousers are Pants and Tuna is Fish. There's no need to say more.

Ah shit! Now I'm going to have to make a nuttela mobius strip snack. If the world ends its your fault!

A toastada, burrito or taco is not any less meat beans cheese and tortilla because of its name.

It would only be logical to assume that if you call a hamburger a sandwich, you're just a mexican.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Its SAMMICH.

 

[disappoint]

 

[John Connor]

Is a taco burger a sandwich? How about a patty melt? Full disclosure, I make both VERY well on summer holidays (holiday not to be confused with vacation in the normal world).

 

[Red Squirrel]

I suppose it could be considered a sandwich kinda like a pizza could be considered a pie. Sorta unconventional, but if you really consider it, it could count as one.

You just gave me a new idea for a hamburger -- Pizza burger!

Do any of you guys ever go outside?

"Outside" is a lie!

I have, it was scary.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

It depends entirely on who makes it. If you make it yourself, it's a hamburger. If someone makes it for you, it's a sandwich.

This is a sandwich of a "burger" (hamburger steak)

 

[Fritzo]

One of those "things chefs know but don't tell anyone"...

Where hamburger is concerned, unless the restaurant grinds it themselves, never order hamburger anywhere below medium.

That's disgusting. The lizard still has poop coming out it's butt.

Unless I grind it myself, I don't trust any hamburger below medium. I don't care how fancy the restaurant is or who works there. I only trust myself.

My burger style of choice is homemade smashburger. If I want thick rare burger, I'll eat a steak.
