First time I’m doing the buns.

I typically don’t do baking - it requires too much precision - but a very talented colleague shared with me a recipe I had to test.

At what point is a burger just a sandwich?

    Burger is a sandwich, all sandwiches are not burgers?

    I think what they're saying is because there's no hamburger, it can't be a burger. I would tend to agree. Just because it's on a round bun doesn't make it a burger. I make deli sandwiches with leftover burger buns but they're definitely not burgers. This is a pulled pork sandwich. It's heavily pedantic, call it whatever you want but Americans have a thing with cheeseburgers, and set weird food boundaries. Like somehow a patty melt is a sandwich, despite having a burger patty, because it uses bread as a bun. Also, if it has beans in it, it's a stew, not chilli.

    What's the difference between a chicken burger and a chicken sandwich? (I'm developing a theory that British folks will generally say the difference is the bun/bread and American folks will generally say whole chicken vs ground chicken...)

    Edit: also, nice sandwich!

    A burger is a sandwich with ground meat pressed together to form a patty. A patty is similar to, but also distinct from, a sausage. No patty? Not a burger. A sloppy Joe, pulled pork, or pulled chicken sandwich are similar, but definitely not burgers because there is no patty.
