I just don’t think you need in your life the sort of person/monster who would attempt (unreasonably!) eating an SJ as a sarnie. Save that shit for more encased food, like a pasty.

You know I love you even when you're wrong, right? We had this discussion not three hours ago...and you're still wrong.

A burhger (my Aussie imitation) is ground meat, whether beef, turkey, chicken, lamb...that is cooked and on a burger bun.

A sandwich can be hot or cold on sliced bread or a roll. A chicken sandwich can be on what is typically thought of as a burger bun, but it's NOT a burger because it's NOT ground meat shaped into a patty.

Not according to your fast food chains that invaded our sweet simple country

Ah, a sub. The sad person’s hoagie.

I thought they were the same thing?

IDK I've eaten a lot of BBQ sandwiches which were every bit as messy as a sloppy joe. But they were a darned sight tastier. Pulled or chopped smoked pork or beef is messy enough as it is. But when you add coleslaw it's even messier.

Bibs are a required item in some eating establishments.

They had to change it so you nutters would understand, else you'd starve.

This is exactly the kind of thing I wish I'd known when I first moved to the US. Cocktails, meaning the drink, are mixed drinks here too, which is why I was puzzled to be offered a beer. Because even if beer is mixed with water, according to the long-standing if not tired prejudice of Brits which has been so earnestly corrected here, beer with water still doesn't qualify as a mixed drink. And I'm guessing an appy is an appetiser?

I didn't pick up an American accent while I lived there, except for a single word - tomayto. And that was simply because nobody ever understood me when I said tomahto, and that did once cause an unfortunate pizza topping related incident.

I love the way brits and maybe aussies too? say tomato. I don't know why that would not be understood as an alternate pronunciation in the US. And yes, I should have spelled it out - appy = appetizer especially since we are trying to clear up linguistic confusions.
and - um - watering down beer? is that a thing???

I'm with bfg on this one. Seems right to me.

What if the ground meat was shaped as a triangle, would it cease to be a burger because its not shaped like a patty. Just seeking clarification is all

Gasp. As if we needed another reason we aren’t working out.

It is fun watching this...

No. That’s still a burger.

And a hotdog is not a sandwich. It’s a hotdog.
And it’s a HERO, not a sub, a hoagie or a grinder.[/QUOTE]

And this is my point, you can't even agree between yourselves what to call them lol. The KISS principle needs to be applied me thinks.
And the only hero's we have here are those dodgy rolls you microwave at the 7-11 when you happen to be in a somewhat altered state of reality that makes you think its a good idea

 

[Dirt_in_the_Ground]

Anything that’s between two other things that are like each other constitutes a sandwich, whether it’s bread slices, bun halves, or men. But the hot dog does pose a problem.

Not to the true connoisseurs. They can handle several hot dogs at once even. Hey...videos can't lie can they?

 

[Paul_Chance]

Hahaha - the hot dog riff cracks me up. Too funny. What the hell is it? I mean, it has the necessary ingredients for a sandwich, but it's assembled weirdly. Here is what I think:

A Splitter (when the hotdog is sliced down the center and placed flat between two pieces of bread) is a sandwich.
A Hot Dog implies a hot dog bun, which is closer to a wrap that a sandwich.
A Top Loader is definitely a wrap as the bun is shaped (curved) and not sliced.

 

[AveryElle]

To further complicate things, in Washington, DC, we have half smokes, which are like hot dogs but you don't call them hot dogs. They're half smokes.

As for the debate on burgers vs. sandwiches, I believe the burger is just a subset of the classification "sandwich" because a meatball sandwich is technically a burger but we call loosely call it a sandwich until it is put on a sub roll and then it is a meatball sub (which is also a subset of the broader sandwich category).

I never understood the appeal of half smokes. People wait in line for Ben’s. Is it because Obama went there? It’s not that good!

 

[AveryElle]

I like half smokes. I used to eat them all over the city from those little hot dog vendors. They're just larger, slightly more flavorful hot dogs.

STREET MEAT.

STREET MEAT.

Hey...is it odd to not see a stray dog or cat around?

Okay, I am going to tell you a joke and give you a cultural/language lesson.

One time, there was sociologist studying the culture of the Lakota in South Dakota. He spent years on the Rosebud reservation, making friends with people and getting to know them. One of the people he came to know was an old Indian who lived way out in Bad Nation and had almost no contact with mainstream America and still lived a traditional lifestyle who provided many excellent cultural insights. Over time they became friends and when, after years, the sociologist was wrapping up his research he wanted to thank him for all his insights. Eventually he convinced the old man to let him take him into Pierre and buy him dinner.

They went into town and picked a nice restaurant. He told the old man to order whatever he wanted. The old man didn't read or speak English, so he asked his friend to help him order.

"Do you want a steak?" The sociologist asked? "What is "steak"?" "It's the best cut from a cow." "No," the old man said, "I don't like cows. Buffalo?" "No, no buffalo, how about a pork chop?" "What's a pork chop?" "Pig." "No, I don't like pig. Deer?" This continued as they worked down the menu, with the sociologist suggesting a modern meal and the old timer checking to see if there was a traditional Lakota option. Finally, they reached the bottom of the menu and the sociologist asked "How about a hot dog?" The old timers eyes lit up and he said "Yes! I love hot dog!"

So, they put their orders in and a little while later when the plate arrived the old man carefully opened the bun and stared at the hot dog in horror. The sociologist asked "Is everything okay" in alarm. The old man carefully closed the bun and leaned across the table and whispered to him.

"We don't eat THAT part of the dog."

(Now, for the quick language lesson. Being a nomadic people the only domesticated animal the Lakota had for thousands of years was the dog, and culturally we believe that dog was sent from the Great Spirit (Wakan Tanka - which literally translates as "Great Mystery") to help us live in this world and so, traditionally, dog soup is still served at certain ceremonies. The word for dog is "Sunka" (pronounced "shun-ka"). When the Lakota first encountered the horse, which transformed our society, they were at a loss to explain this mysterious animal that appeared out of no where and was readily domesticated. So, they named it after the closest thing they knew "Sunka Wakan", with literally translates as "Mysterious Dog".)

You Shook Me All Night Long. AC/DC

Thunderstruck. AC/DC

 

[QuietCanadian]

The first one is a tough question. Many come to mind, I Feel Fine sticks out the most to me though. I'm sure I could argue for 100, though.

Songs that get me pumped as soon as it starts? First one that came to mind is Still D.R.E. Which could work for both for me, really.
