hamburgers aren't on the chart dude
I'm very curious what the argument against a hamburger being a sandwich isyeah like, this isn't even interesting or funny
is cereal soup
is cereal soupI usually eat cereal without milk so definitely not.

i mean i think it very obviously isn't one and i'm shocked that yes is winning by so much
It's not meant to be an exhaustive list, it just has examples. You're meant to look at the definitions. A hamburger fits both purist definitions.Yeah, I wouldn't casually refer to a burger as a sandwich, but there's really no way to argue that it fits the definition, both in terms of structure and contents.
Technically yes, but I never have or ever will refer to it as suchHuh, sandwiches with buns aren't common there? Sandwiches are frequently made with buns in North America. What would you call, say, ham and cheese inside a bun then? Sub buns aren't sliced bread either - are those not sandwiches in the UK?
In the UK a "sandwich" typically refers to something made with sliced bread, while a "burger" is its own distinct category.
This was an invitation to elaborate
I'm very curious what the argument against a hamburger being a sandwich isThe fact that there is a whole class of sandwiches that are called burgers, and we all know what is in and out of that class, proves that there is a strong and useful distinction.
if i invite you over for lunch and say "i'm making sandwiches" and then you get here and i serve out a bunch of hamburgers, that is not going to be what you expected. if i said "i had a sandwich for lunch" you are going to be even more surprised if it turns out i had a cheeseburger. in both cases you're probably imaging, like, slices of ham or turkey or something, often in between two slices of a loaf of bread, maybe other types of buns but not a hamburger bun.If I say "I'm going to draw rectangles" and then you look at my drawings and they're a bunch of squares, that is not going to be what you expected. If I said "I drew a rectangle", you are going to be even more surprised if it turns out that I drew a square.
Technically it is but the vibes are wrongThis.
What about a bunless hamburger? You know, just a patty (with or without cheese and condiments), surrounded by 2 pieces of lettuce, no bread.
Huh, sandwiches with buns aren't common there? Sandwiches are frequently made with buns in North America. What would you call, say, ham and cheese inside a bun then? Sub buns aren't sliced bread either - are those not sandwiches in the UK?There are many different names for that. I'd call it a ham and cheese roll. Bap would be another fairly common term. The word bun is typically reserved for sweet treats, like an iced bun.

I'd call a sub bun just a sub.
If I order a chicken sandwich and I get a chicken burger I'm burning the restaurant downI mean, if you order a chicken sandwich at Popeye's, you'll get a chicken burger. That's just what they call them there.

Its a stew if anything.Only in liquid.

no dictionary writer would find an elegant way to write "bread with something between it but NOT if that thing is a beef patty" so they probably still wouldn't define it that wayIt's easy. The dictionary would declare up front that the definitions of the words apply to each thing that fits the description, except if there's a specially distinct word for that thing. Those distinct words would be marked by a star or something.
