I hope all of these false advertising fast food places get successfully sued. Should have happened decades ago. Truth in advertising or something.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, "For Illustration Purpose" is a bad defence and anyone use that should feel bad.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

The trouble is, even if they do get sued, they won't tone down their ads or increase the quality of their food, they'll just put more disclaimer text in small print below the ad

On what planet is a fried chicken sandwich a burger?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Spotted the American.

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

it's called chicken burger outside of North America lol

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

So just any sandwich is a burger?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years 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.

"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.)

my guy is downvoting ever single person also HAHAHHAHAA

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is he really?? Wow, takde kerja cari kerja behaviour

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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

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

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

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

In Malaysia, because language is a funni thing 🤷

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If they want to make it satay burger at least the chicken should be grilled lol.

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

Right? Like Prosperity but with satay sauce.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Also, who wants satay sauce on fried chicken? Sorry, satay needs to be made from flame-grilled mutton and I stick with it.

Also, hi from your annoying neighbour. :P

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That narrow it down from 5 to 5 🙈

Jk jk, hello neighbor 👀

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wow, I feel sad that we aren't annoying enough to be distinguishable. xD

PS. Whatever have the Thais done to you?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Their tomyam is too good 😤😤

Jk jk, haha

(Singapore or Indonesia? 👀)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Singapore. :P Where we steal your food. :P

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

It's okay i think singapore chicken rice is superior 🙈

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

eh i don't mind satay sauce with fried chicken, just don't drizzle on top to make it soggy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hmm, where does it go then? Must have enough sauce to make it shoik what.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

as a dip lol, or serve REAL fresh lmao.

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

Haha, yes, I see. Though not going to get that from a fast food joint then!
