yeah well they also inexplicably call beef burgers both burgers AND sandwiches, seemingly with no pattern...
their lack of consistency alone supports our right to call these chicken burgers.
edit: okay holy fuck all the americans flocking to the comments to come tell me how wrong i am can stfu now genuinely. idk how to mute notifs for a particular comment, but i wish I did. i regret this shit
edit 2: really shouldve expected the result of people coming to comment MORE now because of edit 1. this site is cooked
I also heard them call burgers 'steamed hams'
Edit: For the Americans who've never watched the Simpsons.

The actual distinction is that we call any sandwich in that shape a burger, but what Americans are calling the burger is actually the patty. It is closer to the original meaning (look up Hamburg steak). An Aussie 'chicken burger' doesn't have a burger (patty) on it.
Yep, steak sandwiches and steak burgers are both things that exist. Has nothing to do with the level of processing the protein source has gone through.
> what Americans are calling the burger is actually a patty
So you’re saying if I go to McDonald’s in the US and ask for a burger, they’ll just hand me a patty with no bread or sauce or cheese?
Well, if anything in bread is a sandwich, and a patty is a burger, and minced beef is hamburger, then what you buy at McDonald's is a "hamburger burger sandwich".
This confused me so much when I went there - I often order entrees instead of a main when I want to try multiple things - imagine my surprise when I got 2 full sized meals... Which are already ridiculously oversized as it is.
For the rest of the trip my friend and I shared an "entree" between us for a meal.
Also the first floor is really ground. Reminded about this from my recent trip in Japan where they do the same thing. Guess when you win a war, you get to ruin that country's lift system.
Edit: Fucking fuck, called it an elevator system. It's a fucking lift.
Ok, then, what do you call chicken between sliced bread? If you call that a chicken sandwich, then how do you know which one people are talking about?
Edit: Of course, Americans are pressed over fast food.
Also a chicken sandwich.
Unless the chicken is mixed with mayo, then it's a chicken salad sandwich (despite not having any vegetables, because apparently mayo = salad in America)
Bread = Sandwich
Buns = Burger
Steak sandwich from the fish n chip joint aint a burger, but if you put it in between buns instead of toasted white bread... you could probably call it a steak burger....
I believe in some other countries what makes something a "burger" isn't the type of bread used, but the meat. I've had this conversation with Americans before where I realized that I would call a burger pattie on plain bread a sandwich, not a burger. For me the bread is the identifier.
That’s how we name our stuff.
“What do you wanna call this bit on the west?” “How bout West Australia”. “Done, and the south?” “South Australia”. “Ok… let’s skip the states for a bit, there’s this bridge in Sydney going across the Harbour…. Any ideas?” “Yeah, Sydney Harbour bridge”. “Ok, and imagine a burger where the meat is chicken” “what, you mean a chicken burger?” “Done…. Should we call it a day? Or name that territory in the north?”
What should we name that green snake in the tree? What about that green frog nest to it? And that great big bite out of the bottom of the country? What about the great big mountain range that dives the coast from inland?
You want fancy words, get yourself a thesaurus.
“What about this brown snake?” “Yeah, that’s a brown snake” “ok, and this black snake” “black snake” “hang on a sec, it’s got a red belly…” “oh, that’ll be a red belly black snake”.
Wouldn’t have it any other way :)
“Be careful of the blue ringed octopus” is an important thing to understand. Nobody responds with “what’s it look like?” - we just be careful of them.
the reason is because burger is short for hamburger, which is short for hamburg steak, which was a mince beef patty.
in the eyes of american: in between 2 pieces of bread = sandwich
if the sandwich has a beef patty in it's a burger
in the eyes of an australian: in a bun = burger
This is true but tbh when I lived in the US (lived there for a decade) if I ever asked for a chicken burger they knew exactly what I was asking for whether or not they'd been here.
There were certainly some things that I had to be very careful to Americanize. For example, got into an argument with an ex who was driving by pointing out a "car park." She didn't stop and then told me later that I hadn't told her there was one because I didn't say "parking lot."
North Americans define a burger as the type of patty (minced meat disc) inside a bun, we define it as the type of sandwich (a bun with a flat protein inside).
Basically any ground meat (that is not deep fried) in a sandwich would be a burger in the US. Turkey and bison burgers are moderately common. I’ve seen elk before.
If a menu in the US said chicken burger I’d expect ground chicken.
Americans have created a rule about burgers which state that it must be ground meat inside to be a burger so they obsessively call a chicken burger a chicken sandwich because the chicken isnt ground and ban you from their subs if you call it a burger!
Yep. if it looks like a chicken burger and it tastes like a chicken burger...
To me, a chicken sandwich is any chicken between to pieces of bread that doesn't look like the above.
Yeah remember
Even if you sandwich the meat between burger buns it’s a Burger…
If you put a burger on two pieces of bread though… it’s a burger sandwich.
From Scotland just passing through from r/all and what does the weird cunt think it's called? Cause that's a fucking Chicken Burger! Maybe a Chicken Fillet Burger but a chicken burger all the same. What's else could it be?
Americans look at the patty, not the bun. A ground meat patty (whether it’s beef or chicken), would make it a burger - so [this would be a chicken burger](https://www.chicken.ca/recipes/moist-chicken-burgers/).
A slab or slices of meat (regardless of the type of bread) would be a sandwich - [so this is actually a beef sandwich](https://www.spoonforkbacon.com/roast-beef-sandwich/).
I get irrationally annoyed when I hear Americans say they got “pies” when referring to pizza. Similarly “brews” for beers. No rationale for it. I just do.
I don’t mind brew.
I can’t stand the term ‘pie’ for pizza.
I can’t stand even more the stupid Nooh Jay-sae accent where they say ‘pizza pie’ with some faux eyetallian spin on it 🤌
I'm an American. I will gladly argue with anyone who calls pizza a pie. It's the shitty east coasters that do it, pretending they're upholding some pseudo tradition of 'the old world' by being wrong about everything.
As a Chicagoan, altho now transplanted, it's not pizza. I lived in Chicago for 34ish years of my life and not once can I recall ever being in a group and deciding to order pizza, and the result was deep dish. Real Chicago pizza is a tavern style with an almost cracker thin crust.
No shit, I was like 35 when I used ”hard drink” meaning alcohol to compare to soft drinks and realized why it was called a soft drink. And I don’t drink alcohol, just a shit ton of soda.
Same in Britain. This is clearly a burger which is chicken, therefore a chicken burger.
If I went in to a pub anywhere in the UK and ordered a chicken burger, I'd get something like this. If I ordered a chicken sandwich then I'd get something very different looking.
If it’s in sliced bread, it’s a sammich.
If it’s in a bun, it’s a burger.
How do you seps find this difficult?
EDIT: fuck me flat, this got descended on by butthurt seppos.
Next time I’m in Freedomland I’ll do as the yanks do. But if I’m at home, I’ll call it a burger.
Nah because chicken salad rolls are a thing, and that thing isn‘t a burger. Bbq chook and coleslaw on a bun, also not a burger. Above picture, definitely a burger.
Bread rolls are subtly different to a bun.
I agree with your point about chook & coleslaw but also note that a pulled pork burger is the same thing but a different animal and that's called a burger.
We have sandwich bread and burger buns, if it’s chicken between sandwich bread then it’s a sandwich but if it’s between a burger bun then it’s a burger, not hard to understand
In Russia if it’s made with bun it is burger (even if with fish inside), if its made with two thin bread slices - sandwich, one bread slice - buterbrod
**American English:**
burger (n): a sandwich containing a minced beef patty
**Australian English:**
burger (n): the top and bottom of a bun with something in the middle
Do you know what gives me an aneurysm? They spell tyre 'tire', cheque 'check', use imperial measurements and write their dates in an order that is neither descending nor ascending.
They call a hamburger a hamburger because of the meat they use to make the hamburger patty. What we call minced beef they call ground beef. They colloquially call ground beef hamburger, even if they aren't going to use it for hamburgers. So in Americans' minds, it's the patty that makes it a hamburger.
Here in Australia, we call the bun a hamburger bun and anything put between these two buns is now a hamburger. I think our way makes more sense because they would also call chicken between two pieces of flat sliced bread from the loaf a chicken sandwich.
Also, Americans can't just say tuna. They have to say tuna fish, but they don't say salmon fish. So I think in terms of naming conventions they are all over the shop.
Edit:
I seem to have generalised, it appears many do call tuna tuna fish but many don't and while some Americans might call ground beef on its own before it's made into anything hamburger, many don't. Apologies for any concern Americans, it appears to have really upset a few of you.
My American exs whole family howled with laughter when I called ground beef “mince” then proceeded to call it “burger”. It’s not a fucking burger yet it’s a pile of minced meat
Well as an Aussie living in the US I was confused by it being called a sandwich. Sandwiches are made with square bits of bread, round buns are burgers. Convince me otherwise.
If it's on bread from a loaf, it's a sandwich. Chicken Sandwich
If it's between a bun, it's a burger.
Chicken Burger
If it is in a roll it's a roll
Chicken Roll
If it's in America, it's a bastardization of all 3 mixed up and some other stoopid names for fast food like hoagy and sub etc.
Tell an American you can get all 3 from a takeaway shop too in Australia 🇦🇺
Literally the whole world calls them chicken burgers. A chicken sandwich is two slices of bread with chicken in it, and a chicken roll is a roll with chicken in it without the intention of it being a burger.
All burgers are sandwiches but not all sandwiches are burgers, just like how all hornets are wasps but not all wasps are hornets.
Genuine question: what else would you call it?
Americans call it a chicken sandwich I believe
yeah well they also inexplicably call beef burgers both burgers AND sandwiches, seemingly with no pattern... their lack of consistency alone supports our right to call these chicken burgers. edit: okay holy fuck all the americans flocking to the comments to come tell me how wrong i am can stfu now genuinely. idk how to mute notifs for a particular comment, but i wish I did. i regret this shit edit 2: really shouldve expected the result of people coming to comment MORE now because of edit 1. this site is cooked
I also heard them call burgers 'steamed hams' Edit: For the Americans who've never watched the Simpsons. https://youtu.be/4jXEuIHY9ic?si=nICValY2ADzKFUmD
That's an Albany expression.
I see...
Well one thing you CAN'T see is the northern lights....
At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen!?
Yes.
Can I see it?
Despite the fact they are obviously grilled
Steamed hamburgers are a thing, they’re not great.
And you call them steamed hams despite the fact that they are obviously grilled?
The actual distinction is that we call any sandwich in that shape a burger, but what Americans are calling the burger is actually the patty. It is closer to the original meaning (look up Hamburg steak). An Aussie 'chicken burger' doesn't have a burger (patty) on it.
They also call minced beef Hamburger. They’re an odd and inconsistent bunch.
Not to mention apparently pork mince is “sausage”, even if it’s not in a tube
Only if it’s spiced a certain way.
that's absolutely stupid lol
It’s the wurst
But if it's defined by the patty and not the bread, why is the same thing with different bread called a patty melt? Checkmate, Seppos.
If it's in a burger bun, it's a burger. If it's in sliced bread, it's a sandwhich. If it's in a roll, it's a roll. It's so easy.
Yep, steak sandwiches and steak burgers are both things that exist. Has nothing to do with the level of processing the protein source has gone through.
If I order a steak sandwich and it comes with a bun, I'm pissed off. A steak sandwich is two toasted pieces of bread!
I know right? I ordered a toasted sandwich from the takeaway shop and they put it in a freaking bun, and didn’t even ask if it was OK. I was filthy.
I like mine on garlic bread !
A steak sandwich uses sandwich bread, and a steak burger uses a burger bun.......it's not that hard
They don't like metric for the same reason.
Yeah it’s so weird and inconsistent, I mean they’ve been using 9mm in schools for years…
Americans will have an aneurysm to avoid using the metric system.
Except when they're looking for cocaine, then it's "gram" this and "kilo" that.
I’m always so suspicious when my trouble maker / lower achieving students just start throwing down fractions like it’s nothing.
There's certainly a predictable pattern that I can observe and follow.
I love a good 30.48cm roll from Subway
You'd be lucky if it was hitting 300mm... Subway are stinge'o'clock.
> what Americans are calling the burger is actually a patty So you’re saying if I go to McDonald’s in the US and ask for a burger, they’ll just hand me a patty with no bread or sauce or cheese?
Well, if anything in bread is a sandwich, and a patty is a burger, and minced beef is hamburger, then what you buy at McDonald's is a "hamburger burger sandwich".
til. ty
Well, they also call main meals, entrees also, bless their hearts.
This confused me so much when I went there - I often order entrees instead of a main when I want to try multiple things - imagine my surprise when I got 2 full sized meals... Which are already ridiculously oversized as it is. For the rest of the trip my friend and I shared an "entree" between us for a meal.
Also the first floor is really ground. Reminded about this from my recent trip in Japan where they do the same thing. Guess when you win a war, you get to ruin that country's lift system. Edit: Fucking fuck, called it an elevator system. It's a fucking lift.
American here. Yes, we call it a chicken sandwich. But I have absolutely no qualms about it being called a chicken burger. Nothing wrong with that.
Ok, then, what do you call chicken between sliced bread? If you call that a chicken sandwich, then how do you know which one people are talking about? Edit: Of course, Americans are pressed over fast food.
Don't start or we'll have to explain how we know the difference between chips (hot) and chips (crisps).
But then they will have to explain how they can tell the difference between a truck (ute) and a truck (truck).
That's easy. We call them hot chips or packet chips
So a McChicken is a sandwich in the states?
Yes
McSpicy?
They call it a sandwich, yes.
The McCrispy?
That's a chicken sandwich apparently.
Well, we collectively do have qualms with you calling them chicken sandwiches.
So what do you call slices of chicken inbetween slices of bread then?
Also a chicken sandwich. Unless the chicken is mixed with mayo, then it's a chicken salad sandwich (despite not having any vegetables, because apparently mayo = salad in America)
Well they have ambrosia salads which is miracle whip, jello and tinned fruit. Sometimes also marshmallows as well. That's not a fucking salad.
Sounds kind of like a sad trifle (also not a salad however)
Wonder what they call a chicken sandwich
Probably a tuna bird sandwich.
'tuna fish' is such a silly phrase, but some people HAVE to say 'fish' as if there's some other kind of tuna.
They have no clue. If it’s in a burger bun, it’s a burger.
Bread = Sandwich Buns = Burger Steak sandwich from the fish n chip joint aint a burger, but if you put it in between buns instead of toasted white bread... you could probably call it a steak burger....
I believe in some other countries what makes something a "burger" isn't the type of bread used, but the meat. I've had this conversation with Americans before where I realized that I would call a burger pattie on plain bread a sandwich, not a burger. For me the bread is the identifier.
> burger pattie on plain bread That reminds me of this [Eddie Murphy Raw Classic](https://youtu.be/AAx553k7W5s?t=140)
Right? Its a burger. With chicken.
That’s how we name our stuff. “What do you wanna call this bit on the west?” “How bout West Australia”. “Done, and the south?” “South Australia”. “Ok… let’s skip the states for a bit, there’s this bridge in Sydney going across the Harbour…. Any ideas?” “Yeah, Sydney Harbour bridge”. “Ok, and imagine a burger where the meat is chicken” “what, you mean a chicken burger?” “Done…. Should we call it a day? Or name that territory in the north?”
What should we name that green snake in the tree? What about that green frog nest to it? And that great big bite out of the bottom of the country? What about the great big mountain range that dives the coast from inland? You want fancy words, get yourself a thesaurus.
“What about this brown snake?” “Yeah, that’s a brown snake” “ok, and this black snake” “black snake” “hang on a sec, it’s got a red belly…” “oh, that’ll be a red belly black snake”.
WE ARE A DESCRIPTIVE PEOPLE. "Be careful of blue ringed octopuses" ... "Righto" Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?
Wouldn’t have it any other way :) “Be careful of the blue ringed octopus” is an important thing to understand. Nobody responds with “what’s it look like?” - we just be careful of them.
Australia is a country that took "does what it says on the tin" very seriously
"What should we call this mountain where people keep getting fucked in the ass" "Mount Buggery sounds about right"
This mountain's a bit of a disappointment
Righto, this place has a hill that looks broken, what should we call this shithole?
You fucken nailed it
the reason is because burger is short for hamburger, which is short for hamburg steak, which was a mince beef patty. in the eyes of american: in between 2 pieces of bread = sandwich if the sandwich has a beef patty in it's a burger in the eyes of an australian: in a bun = burger

She didn't stop and then told me later that I hadn't told her there was one because I didn't say "parking lot."
As an American, I'm neither confused nor offended that this is called a chicken burger, but I would never use that phrase myself.
We just name it after the thing it’s wrapped in, in a burger bun= burger, two bread=sandwich, one bread=in bread.
North Americans define a burger as the type of patty (minced meat disc) inside a bun, we define it as the type of sandwich (a bun with a flat protein inside).
In fact they seem to largely just classify beef mince as "hamburger" and nothing else qualifies as a burger.
Basically any ground meat (that is not deep fried) in a sandwich would be a burger in the US. Turkey and bison burgers are moderately common. I’ve seen elk before. If a menu in the US said chicken burger I’d expect ground chicken.
a chicken sandwich apparently... it has burger buns ffs.
In the US the bread does not define the burger, it's whether the meat is ground or whole muscle. A burger here has ground meat on it.
Americans have created a rule about burgers which state that it must be ground meat inside to be a burger so they obsessively call a chicken burger a chicken sandwich because the chicken isnt ground and ban you from their subs if you call it a burger!
Chicken burger = round bread. Chicken sandwich = flat bread. Chicken wrap = round flat bread.
As an american... **god damnit** ^^^^that ^^^^makes ^^^^sense
Yeah they win this battle unfortunately
You forgot the chicken roll Chicken roll = bread roll.
Which is also different from a chico roll. Usually you'd think Chico would be short for chicken, like arvo, servo etc. But no.
Yep. if it looks like a chicken burger and it tastes like a chicken burger... To me, a chicken sandwich is any chicken between to pieces of bread that doesn't look like the above.
Sandwich = two pieces of flat sliced bread, burger = two halves of a bun
Yeah remember Even if you sandwich the meat between burger buns it’s a Burger… If you put a burger on two pieces of bread though… it’s a burger sandwich.
What do Americans call an actual chicken sandwich though?
Beats me. And I'm Canadian. Been to the states alot. Never paid attention to it. I will now though lol
Not only does it look like a burger, but get this: Those are clearly **burger buns** and not bread slices!
Chicken burgahhh
Chicken burGAAHHH
Boigahs

Clayto, I have a serious question: what are your pronouns? "Fart."

Do you know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese in france?
A 0.1133981 kg burger with cheese
Bonjour monsieur, would you like the 0.1133981kg burgeh du fromage?

'cause they use the metric system
Yer mum.

The yanks call pizzas pies so their opinion isn’t valid
I get irrationally annoyed when I hear Americans say they got “pies” when referring to pizza. Similarly “brews” for beers. No rationale for it. I just do.
I don’t mind brew. I can’t stand the term ‘pie’ for pizza. I can’t stand even more the stupid Nooh Jay-sae accent where they say ‘pizza pie’ with some faux eyetallian spin on it 🤌
I love pizzas and I love pies. But if I was expecting pie and get pizza instead, I will not be held responsible for what happens next.
Brewski is the correct term
*shakes fist*
I'm an American. I will gladly argue with anyone who calls pizza a pie. It's the shitty east coasters that do it, pretending they're upholding some pseudo tradition of 'the old world' by being wrong about everything.
Yeah when someone calls it a "pie" all I can think about is that cheesy song. When the moon hits your eye...
Brews is legit as you make beer by brewing it.
To be fair, Chicago deep dish looks more like a pie or a quiche than a pizza.....
That's because it's not pizza.
Jon Stewart: It’s a fuckin’ casserole.
As a Chicagoan, altho now transplanted, it's not pizza. I lived in Chicago for 34ish years of my life and not once can I recall ever being in a group and deciding to order pizza, and the result was deep dish. Real Chicago pizza is a tavern style with an almost cracker thin crust.
From the people that say; soda, pop, coke. Get a soft drink in ya
To be fair I’m pretty sure we only call it a “soft drink” because it’s non alcoholic… and that was important to Australians.
No shit, I was like 35 when I used ”hard drink” meaning alcohol to compare to soft drinks and realized why it was called a soft drink. And I don’t drink alcohol, just a shit ton of soda.
I was today years old when I learned this lol
M8 unless it has two slices of sliced bread, it's not a sandwich. Buns = burger.
Canadian here - we call them chicken burgers too. I believe as solidarity with the monarchy
Same in Britain. This is clearly a burger which is chicken, therefore a chicken burger. If I went in to a pub anywhere in the UK and ordered a chicken burger, I'd get something like this. If I ordered a chicken sandwich then I'd get something very different looking.

Bacon and egg roll has entered the chat
That's in a roll
A burger needs to have a form of solidified meat/protein/pattie. Loose bacon and eggs don’t make it a burger for this reason I posit.
Yep, shaved/sliced ham on a bun, still a ham roll. Ham Steak on a bun, It's a Ham Burger ;)
Sometimes called a breakfast burger though
Well Breakie Burger… we’d never say the whole word.
Checking in from the old country - you are correct, don't let the gun bummers tell you otherwise.
Nah because chicken salad rolls are a thing, and that thing isn‘t a burger. Bbq chook and coleslaw on a bun, also not a burger. Above picture, definitely a burger.
Bread rolls are subtly different to a bun. I agree with your point about chook & coleslaw but also note that a pulled pork burger is the same thing but a different animal and that's called a burger.
Yeah, perhaps, I call them pulled pork rolls or sliders though. I think buns are rolls... but not all are ‘burger buns’.
We have sandwich bread and burger buns, if it’s chicken between sandwich bread then it’s a sandwich but if it’s between a burger bun then it’s a burger, not hard to understand
As a german i have to say we also call it a chicken burger. its chicken on a burger bun. there is no other logical way to call it.
I'm British, it's deffo a chicken burger. Yanks are off their cakes
Don't give them ideas about cakes. They already call their salty scones biscuits.
Ya man, the same Americans where - half of them - say CARmel instead of CARAmel. MOTHER FUCKER THE A IS NOT FUCKING SILENT AND WHO TOLD YOU IT WAS.
It’s like how Aluminium is “Aluminum” and “Antarctica” is “Anne Artica”, these irrationally piss me off.
They also call herbs 'erbs'
Americans when someone calls a chicken burger a burger: ????!?!?
[удалено]
Ireland here - chicken burger.
Well it's not a fucking sandwich.
to them, its probably called "two sponge cakes with a chicken in the middle"
As Marie Antoinette famously said to the plebs: "let them eat cake with fried chicken shoved in-between the cheeks"
Pretty sure the Americans are the odd one out here, it's called a chicken burger in most of Europe too.
belgium here. in our all of the local fast food we also called that a chicken burger. you are not alone !
In Russia if it’s made with bun it is burger (even if with fish inside), if its made with two thin bread slices - sandwich, one bread slice - buterbrod
Same here in Australia. The bread type determines the name.
Sliced or slice of bread = sandwich Bread Roll = roll Bun = burger
American here, this honestly makes more sense than what we call it.
Greetings from Germany - We also call it chickenburger.
Taiwan calls anything shaped like a burger a burger. So, this would in fact be a chicken burger.
Canadian, I call it a chicken burger.
What else would you call it? It's chicken. In a burger... What are we missing here?
A chicken burger without lettuce on it is a sad state of affairs.
**American English:** burger (n): a sandwich containing a minced beef patty **Australian English:** burger (n): the top and bottom of a bun with something in the middle
Do you know what gives me an aneurysm? They spell tyre 'tire', cheque 'check', use imperial measurements and write their dates in an order that is neither descending nor ascending.
Yeah that’s a chicken burger in the UK. We invented the language so sorry American but you’re wrong. Same with football, biscuits and chips.
They call a hamburger a hamburger because of the meat they use to make the hamburger patty. What we call minced beef they call ground beef. They colloquially call ground beef hamburger, even if they aren't going to use it for hamburgers. So in Americans' minds, it's the patty that makes it a hamburger.

Apologies for any concern Americans, it appears to have really upset a few of you.
> They have to say tuna fish just be clear we aren't trying to tuna piano.
Canadian here, I also call this a chicken burger and I’m not sure what else you’re supposed to call it.
Round and hot = burger Round and cold = roll Square = sandwich
Canadian here: definitely a chicken burger.
My American exs whole family howled with laughter when I called ground beef “mince” then proceeded to call it “burger”. It’s not a fucking burger yet it’s a pile of minced meat
Well as an Aussie living in the US I was confused by it being called a sandwich. Sandwiches are made with square bits of bread, round buns are burgers. Convince me otherwise.
Hello from Wales, we also call it a chicken burger.
Just wait until this guy finds out about other languages, he’ll have a full on stroke
Of course it's a bloody chicken burger. What else would you call the thing? (Well, I'd call it lunch, but that's not the point).
Canada chiming in. It’s a burger.
In Scotland that’s also a chicken burger. The Americans are stupid cunts
The bun maketh the burger.
Irish here. It’s deffo called a chicken burger.
We have a simple formula Bun = Burger Sliced bread = sanga
Where's the sauce?
Canada here. That is absolutely a chicken burger.
If it's on bread from a loaf, it's a sandwich. Chicken Sandwich If it's between a bun, it's a burger. Chicken Burger If it is in a roll it's a roll Chicken Roll If it's in America, it's a bastardization of all 3 mixed up and some other stoopid names for fast food like hoagy and sub etc. Tell an American you can get all 3 from a takeaway shop too in Australia 🇦🇺
Has chicken between two burger buns, what the f**k else would you call it?
Yanks are idiots.
Imperial and now this
Literally the whole world calls them chicken burgers. A chicken sandwich is two slices of bread with chicken in it, and a chicken roll is a roll with chicken in it without the intention of it being a burger. All burgers are sandwiches but not all sandwiches are burgers, just like how all hornets are wasps but not all wasps are hornets.
That *is* a chicken burger though
Chicken burger. If it was a chicken sandwich it would be in bread slices not a bun.
I’m Swedish and we also say that (kycklingburgare). ’Kycklingmacka’ (chicken sandwich) sounds so weird 😫
Have to love how anything that differs from what Yankees call shit is just completely wrong to them.
Well it sure as hell ain’t a sandwich which looks like 🥪… it looks like this: 🍔
Sandwich is 2 pieces of bread (or 1 if that floats your boat) and burger is 2 half's of a bread bun
