An Aussie woman was called a “coloniser” for opening a NY shop selling Australian sushi. But Adam Liaw says it’s very much a thing – and anyone who disagrees simply hasn’t done their homework.
This is nonsense. Burgers are sold in damn near every country.
Except Americans will only call it a ‘burger’ if it’s a beef patty and garnish on a burger bun. What we call a chicken burger, they call a chicken sandwich - which is ludicrous because a sandwich is something between two slices of bread, not two halves of a bun. Heck, the even call Subway’s fare ‘sandwiches’.
What’s crazy is americans will eat a vege burger, a mushroom burger, pork, lamb, turkey patties etc… all burgers.
but as soon as you put fried chicken in it is suddenly becomes a sandwitch?

Round bun = Burger.
Regardless of the patty.

Hey, I’m not American, and I never claimed they were rational or logical. It’s just funny that I’ve had this exact discussion only recently.
