Let's say you ran out of buns and decided to eat the hamburger on it's own. Do you still call it a hamburger or would you call it something else?

Yes, but it would no longer be a sandwich.

A hamburger patty.

With buns hamburger without meat patty.

" A hamburger patty. "

its called ham

Then what is a Durger without a bun?

Hamburger Steak?

Yes, I think so. The hamburger refers to the particular style of meat patty. The bun is some sort of mutant cultural thing.

It's a beef patty.

Salisbury Steak of low quality

It'd be a hamburger steak, at least around here.

For me personally, the meat is referred to as a beef burger, or simply just a burger. That being said, they're also the terms I tend to use for a 'hamburger' anyway. Then again, that's just me. Maybe it's a UK thing, but I can't say for sure, and I wouldn't want to speak on behalf of a whole nation if that's just some weird idiosyncrasy I've picked up.

Beef patty.

Hamburger steak dog.  What if you're crazy and get a hamburger with lettuce instead of a bun?  Still a hamburger?  Surely it isn't a sandwich anymore?

No thats a hamburger steak.

It's still called a hamburger. You could possibly call it a patty as well.

I am going to say that it'd be called a patty if there was no bun.

l always call them Burgers anyway, never (Ham)burgers.

" Of course. Nothing about the word hamburger implies buns.  "

" Then what is a Durger without a bun? "

Yep, still a hamburger. I have to make them at work occasionally; "Hamburger, no bun!".

Without buns it's no longer a hamburger, no...

" A hamburger patty. "

It is still called a hamburger.  It's amazing how few people know the origins of the hamburger or what actually makes a hamburger what it is.

meat.

It's called 'I want a refund'.

Hells to the no. For example, let's say you have a taco without the outer shell; it's just meat with veggies and cheese.

I call it ground beef. I do like them in patties.

I typed 'Define: hamburger' into Google and if they're to be believed then it's still a hamburger. Personally I quite enjoy eating hambuger patties without the bun.

I think it's fair to call it a "bun-less burger". I have no objection to that.

Of course. The actual meat type is hamburger. You use hamburger meat in tacos and such too.
