    Always feels weird to me that Yanks call weiners hot dogs even though the whole thing with the bun is a hot dog. Would feel like calling minced meat hamburger meat or something hah

      We call minced meat (“ground beef” in the Americas) a hamburger, burger, or burger patty when it’s shaped into a flat circle.

      It’s not uncommon for us to call a circle of ground beef a “burger” even if it’s sans-bun.

      Worse still is the pronunciation of “bologna”. How. Just how. None of you seppos have the right to tell me about how I pronounce “herbs” or “pecans”. Then again, our pronunciation of “lieutenant” is messed up.
