I like to think of the Hamburger as the king of sandwiches.

Well, the next time we all eat a sandwhich or a hamburger.. we should ask ourselves. Why?
Why do we put this succulent perfect match of meat and bun straight into our mouths without wondering..What is this phenomenon we taste?
I believe .. it's a cheeseburger :o

Its definatly a sub category of sandwhich, but its by no means a "sandwhich". If you ask your wife or girlfriend if they could make you sandwhich how many times have they ever come back with a cheeseburger? Idk about you guys but i have yet to recieve a buger out of that.

I think if there was a family tree of food items, the sandwich and the burger would be sibling nodes - rather than descendants. They'd probably have a parent node called something like 'Breadius Containius'.
Although literally speaking - a hamburger is not the actual bap which surrounds the meaty substance. The hamburger is the actual meaty substance. So no. Unless you make sandwiches out of flesh, they are not the same.

Well, a sandwich defined by websters is a: two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between

So I guess it is.

(P.S., sorry for making those 2 blank posts, I didn't know it is quick reply.)

Yes, A hamburger is definitely a sandwich

Any food that involves a large amount of meat volume between two slices of bread is a sandwich. Except for a hotdog, that is indeed no type of sandwich

Hamburgers and sandwiches are synonymous, but they also coexist. You could make a strong argument that one could not exist without the other.

Well, in some restaurants ive seen them list hamburgers under the "sandwiches" area in the menu. So I guess they are a kind of sandwich.

"have you guys even considered what happens when a sandwhich gets toasted? What the hell is it then!!!"

That would be a toasted sandwich. Also, a Hamburger is not a sandwich.

I don't consider a Hamburger a sandwich when I think of a sandwich I think of a combination of meats coming together to make something awesome. A Hamburger is one lone meat going it for the entire strength of the dish, I think for that reason Hamburgers need their own classification.

I think you're touching on preference more than anything. Without sounding like a pedantic jerk, DUDE UR WRONGGG!

A sandwich is a sandwich.

A burger is a burger.

I'm happy to leave it at that.

Well Hotdogs are just pork between a bun. Are they sandwiches. Someone should make a Sandwich family tree.

What about toasted subs? Those are most definatly warm, but still sandwichs. I think the burger shoud have a classification of its own. Its not a sandwhich, its a burger.

Anything between two slices of bread is a sandwich.

All buns are bread, but not all bread is buns.

Buns are required for hot dogs and hamburgers.

Therefore, a hamburger is not a sandwich.

Its got meat and it's between bread. I guess it's considered a special type of sandwich. Like an exclusive sandwich for the special deserving people.

Well I think the hamburger started out as a subset of sandwiches, but through its own popularity it has become a classification all of its own.

Think of hamburgers like Sting after he left The Police.
