I call it an effin hamburger.
If anybody says it's a "sandwich" ill tell em to STFU and punch em in the face.
Hamburger is the meat filling of a sandwich.
Hamburgers used to be sold as is, no bread, you could put a bit of mustard or saurkraut or ketchup on it, but then again, this was in the 1800's.
Sandwiches OTOH are long known fare and have always had 2 or more slices of bread with either meat (traditionally roast beef) or vegetable filling.
It's a hamburger. You flunk history Mike. Sorry

Anything with 2 slices of bread and a meat filler IS a sandwich:

Pay attention: it was created officially by John Montague, the Earl of Sandwich. (which is a county of England.
)

wikipedia wrote:He is also credited with the invention of the sandwich, the name obviously derived from his title. It was long said that he invented the food to sustain himself while gambling without having to eat a full meal, but his biographer Rodger points out that the sole source of this rumour was gossip mentioned in a travel book by Grosley, and that at the period in question (1765) he was known to be very busy, and it is just as likely that it was for the purpose of eating at his desk. As well sandwiches can be presumed to have been eaten long before this. For instance in the Passover meal Jews make a sandwich of two pieces of unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
Have I killed the point yet?

like said on page one....

1 a : two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between b : one slice of bread covered with food
once you put the meat on the bun its a sandwich....
i mean what differentiates a bun from bread? the same... but a bun is a subcategory or bread.
you have bread
then you have
roll
bun
loaf
hamburger is just the meat itself.... but once you put it on the bread, its a sammich.

Fish and "chips" for me, this hamburger thing is getting out of hand.
A hamburger is a sandwich, a sub is a sandwich. That doesn't make them the same. Only a hamburger is a hamburger while a sandwich could be any type of of sandwich.. Like some roasted chicken breast with roasted pepper, carmalized onion and some pepper sauce on a nice chibotta bread.. Oh oh, add a slice of avacado to that.. Oh ya, now I'm hungry.
When I oder at a fast food place, they always want to sell a combo so I order.. I'd like bla bla burger, sandwich only. They know exactly what I mean.

but that could just be like when the mentally handicap person down the street looks up and goes "da plane, da plane!", but he's pointing at a bird. he may have been wrong, but to be nice noone says anything. just smile and nod.
how do you know when you order like that, the 16yo old behind the counter isn't thinking "it's called a hamburger, a$$hat! get it right or move to norway".
lol, jfwy
p.s.> it's like when ppl come into the store and ask for freon and i tell them $30 a can and i need to see their ac license. they go 'what? license? so and so sells it for $10 a can'. i have to ask 'are you talking about freon or r134a?' "oh, r134a". then they want to know the difference and i kill 15 min explaining it. fyi, freon is duponts brand name for r12 refrigerant. like how ppl ask for a kleenex when they want a tissue.
i usually imagine 85% of my customers getting hit by a bus when they leave the store. i call it my happy place.

That guy deserves a swift kick in the balls. And then a crotch squeeze.
