Answer 2

in dictionary its sandwich..:)

Answer 3

If you use sliced bread it is a sandwich if its on a bun its a burger.

Answer 4

Yes, it's a sandwich.  

Named, incidentally, after the Earl of Sandwich who asked that his food be served between slices of bread so that he could eat with one hand while continuing to hold his cards/dice/whatever and gamble with the other.  

Most people in the US tend to think of a cold presentation when they hear the word "sandwich" - since hamburgers are usually served hot, we don't always make that connection, but a hamburger is definitely a sandwich.  

Answer 5

what kim k, said ; )

Answer 6

It must be!  That's what I tell my toddlers they are getting so they don't get confused.  So hamburger must just be a special name for that type of sandwich.  substance between bread = sandwich

Answer 7

Sandwich: it's a sandwich because it is meat and other foods but on a piece of bread or bun with another piece of bread or another bun on top.  

Answer 8

I do believe a hamburger is in fact a sandwich, because it consists of two slices of bread/buns, meat,  condiments (ketchup & mustard), and toppings like lettuce & tomatoes.  

Answer 9

Every restaurant menu I've ever seen (where hamburgers are served)  lists burgers under the  "Sandwiches"  heading,  as opposed to  "Entrees"  or  "Main Courses"  or whatever.

So yeah,  it's a sandwich.

Answer 10

A sandwich is a food item made of two or more slices of leavened bread with one or more layers of filling, typically meat or cheese, with the addition of vegetables or salad.[1] The bread can be used as is, or it can be coated with butter, oil, mustard or other condiments to enhance flavor and texture.

So, it sounds like a hamburger is technically a sandwich.

Answer 11

IT IS ONLY A SANDWICH IF IT IS SERVED ON BREAD

Answer 12

Yes.

Meat  + veggies + sauce between two buns/slices of bread = sandwich.

It's not your typical deli-style lunch meat sandwich, but it's a sandwich.

Answer 13

Of course it's a sandwich.

Meat between 2 pieces of bread = sandwich.

mmmmm, now I'm hungry.

Answer 14

yes anything between two pieces of any type of bread is a sandwich

Answer 15

Yes. Some of them andwichs have beef so a ham burger is one.
