      Burger is ground meat and chicken sandwiches are often made of whole meat. Cheapo ones are mechanically separated which would count as ground, but the one in the photo is not.

        Over here if it’s on a bun it’s a burger, if it’s on sliced bread it’s a sandwich, simple as

          A Cuban sandwich is on a bun, is that a burger? Same goes for cheese steaks and French dips and subs, served on buns, is burger?

          What about sandwiches made with rolls and bagels?

          Also, I see the aussie point, but, in the US, burger is short for hamburger, which refers to the meat itself. Do you only say ground beef too? Or is ground beef also called hamburger?

          And also… Is a burger not considered a type of sandwich?

          I hadn’t heard of this dialect difference. Fun stuff!

            A roll is a roll and a bagel is a bagel, a sub is a sub, they’re not really called sandwiches here unless it’s on sliced bread

            The meat is beef mince or minced beef (not ground). It’s formed into and cooked as a patty, which is one component of a delicious hamburger.

            I think most people would say yes to “is a burger a type of sandwich” but that’s a very different question to would you call a burger a sandwich, which an Aussie would not.

            A bagel is a bagel. Two halves of a bagel with something on between are still a bagel. The same goes for a roll. A sandwich is two slices of bread with something in between.
