Is it common to make big multi-topping sandwiches in the US?

Give me one of those and I'll be ok for the rest of the day.

There's a reason Jack in the Box won't serve you this until after 9pm. It's the time when bad decisions start.

I guess different countries have different definitions. I will never accept their definition though.

Well we don't call them "sandwiches", we call them "smörgåsar" or alternatively "mackor", but I just assumed that since those two words are translated as "sandwiches", they are the same type of food as a sandwich in the US. I was wrong.
 
The FTC enforces truth-in-advertising laws, so yeah, it is. If you simply look around, it's on their bags and boxes, too. We know what people call things, but a hamburger is a type of sandwich. The Whopper is a sandwich according to the people who make it and own the trademark and that's pretty much the end of the argument.

Who cares what the FTC calls it? The post said this.

I always found it weird that Americans call hamburgers sandwiches though.

Americans don't call hamburgers sandwiches, we call them hamburgers. You know what we call sandwiches? Sandwiches.

And that's pretty much the end of the argument.
 
You can make a more amazing classic Käsebrot though. Like this.

Nope, we lack cheese, spreadable butter, and our bread is full of sugar.

these things have been claimed in this thread, and is partly why the thread is so long

The FTC doesn't call it anything, are you confused? The post I replied to was trying to correct that post, but was wrong, because you can be an American and call it a hamburger sandwich, and the Whopper quite literally is a sandwich, according to Burger King, home of the Whopper® sandwich.
 
As a European, I love big ass sandwiches. The more meat and toppings the better. And it better have bread on top, none of this open-faced nonsense.
 
In America: hamburgers are indeed sandwiches, but if you say you are going to get a burger for lunch a person will know exactly what you mean by that, which is a rounded bun with grilled or breaded meat, toppings (tomato, lettice, onions, etc), cheese (mmm cheeseburger) and sauce. If you say you are getting a sandwhich, a burger does not come to mind unless you specify it.

Are you confused?

If someone in America calls a Hamburger a sandwich they are not American or are writing some fluff on an advertisement.

Hamburger, Burger and CustomBurgerName (like Jumbo Jack or Whopper) are the only things that are acceptable.

No one in America would ever refer to a hamburger as a sandwich, ever. Just because Whopper calls it a sandwich on an advert because of some FTC law doesn't mean that the average American is going to say, "give me one of those Whopper® sandwiches"

And of course an American can call it a sandwich because we're the land of the free and can do whatever we want because we're so great but we still wouldn't call it a sandwich because that's commie nonsense.

Please keep your 'Americans call burgers sandwiches' propaganda away from this great land of ours.

We can argue semantics all day long but it still won't mean that any American is going to call it a sandwich which was the whole point of the posts you were replying to.

I'm American, and I do. It's fun.

Oh, you were confused. I was never saying what other Americans do. I was refuting the notion that calling the Whopper a sandwich is unacceptable.
 
how are you supposed to eat this half sandwich without the toppings falling over? Knife and fork?

Obviously, you put it in a blender, mix it with water, and then inject the result rectally. And then you clap. That's how we Europeans do it, at least.

Oh that reminds me.

America gaf, Today I forgot to do my daily HFCS enema required my American Law. Should I just do two tomorrow or should I turn myself in to the police?

You hold it from the sides? It's not exactly rocket science. Have you never eaten a open top sandwich before? There's like 100 000 kindergarteners in Finland alone who manage to do it.

Just get out you commie bastard. I don't even want to speak to you. People like you want to get thrown into prison like everyone else on welfare so you can get free food and mooch off the backs of real Americans even more. The Iron Curtain is creeping closer every day.
 
I just chicken salad on a whole wheat pita. was pretty great. I made the chicken salad with blueberries, walnuts, celery, olive oil mayo and non-fat plain greek yogurt. so the whole deal was less than 500 calories.
