      What about sandwiches made with rolls and bagels?

      Also, I see the aussie point, but, in the US, burger is short for hamburger, which refers to the meat itself. Do you only say ground beef too? Or is ground beef also called hamburger?

      And also… Is a burger not considered a type of sandwich?

      I hadn’t heard of this dialect difference. Fun stuff!

        A bagel is a bagel. Two halves of a bagel with something on between are still a bagel. The same goes for a roll. A sandwich is two slices of bread with something in between.
