On what planet is a fried chicken sandwich a burger?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Spotted the American.

"fried chicken sandwich" outside America vs "chicken burger" seems to depend on whether you use a burger bun or not, at least that's my observation. The secondary observation is that for dietary reasons a lot of places don't primarily think of burgers as exclusively beef or pork so the swap/substitution is already well underway for what makes a burger patty/filling.

(ETA: so by the time our English settled on understanding a burger is a sandwich using burger buns, then just about anything in the middle can sub for a meat patty)

(Also, you have to go out more.)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeap, cause I replied to him at various times and they all had a downvote after he replied.

So just any sandwich is a burger?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sandwich is made with sliced bread. Burger is made with burger bun.

All burgers are sandwiches. Not all sandwiches are burgers.

Hope this helps https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburger

Now double check on which instance did this thread originate.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Most of it that's not in North America, as it turns out. It's more of a form-factor/method thing than being about beef burgers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The defining characteristics of a burger are a patty and a bun.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

yes, chicken patty, and a bun. Hence, Chicken Burger

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's not a patty, though. It's a piece of fried chicken.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

it's a piece of Fried Chicken Patty. Understood?

BUN + FRIED CHICKEN PATTY+ BUN = CHICKEN BURGER

what's so hard to understand my guy, it's not even rocket science.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A patty is made of minced food, typically meat. A piece of whole fried chicken is not a patty. What's so hard to understand about that?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

straight from Wikipedia:

In the United States, the sandwich usually consists of a chicken filet or patty, toppings and bread. The chicken meat can be deep fried, grilled, roasted or boiled, served hot or cold, and white or dark meat chicken can be used.

and @cendawanita@[email protected] already explained it you by way of a screenshot from another source from Wikipedia.

it's quite funny because you defeated yourself with your own logic, and when pointed to various sources you rather ignore them but choose to downvote every single comment that do not agree with you. It still won't change a damn thing that it's called a Chicken Burger outside of NA

Look, I can't help it if other people misname things.
