For those of you not in the know, there currently rages a debate in the Hamburger from of epic proportions; is a hamburger a sandwich? Partly because I have an ego the size of a small zeppelin, and partly because I just got tired of looking at that blank spot for blog entries on my profile, I have decided to post my addition to this debate here to be preserved immemorial.
"Now to throw a wrench in the works.
We all agree that, as most dictionaries state, a sandwich is two pieces of bread with meat betwixt, and so from this many would argue that a burger must therefor be a sandwich. HOWEVER allow me to remind you fair forum goers [and blog readers] of the most bizarre of permutations of the burger; the low carb burger! A healthy portion of fried ground beef placed snugly between two large slices of lettuceĀ with all of the usual condiments. With few exceptions I would presume that most here would agree that this is indeed a burger. So how then could a burger be both considered a sandwich AND include within its ranks the likes of the low carb burger? For this reason I submit to you wise men and women that a burger is in fact NOT a sandwich!"
