Editing Hamburger (section)

==Etymology and terminology==
The term ''hamburger'' originally derives from [[Hamburg]], the second-largest city in [[Germany]]; however, there is no specific connection between the dish and the city.<ref>{{OEtymD|hamburger|access-date=October 17, 2009}}</ref>

By linguistic [[rebracketing]], the term "burger" eventually became a self-standing word that is associated with many different types of [[sandwich]]es that are similar to a hamburger, but contain different meats such as [[American bison|buffalo]] in the [[buffalo burger]], [[venison]], [[Kangaroo meat|kangaroo]], [[chicken burger|chicken]], [[turkey as food|turkey]], [[elk]], [[lamb and mutton|lamb]] or [[fish]] such as [[salmon]] in the [[salmon burger]], and even with meatless sandwiches as is the case of the [[veggie burger]].<ref>[http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/burger Burger] ''Merriam-Webster Dictionary''</ref>

The term ''burger'' can also be applied to a meat patty on its own. Since the term ''hamburger'' usually implies beef, for clarity ''burger'' may be prefixed with the type of meat or meat substitute used, as in '''beef burger''', [[Turkey as food|turkey]] burger, [[bison]] burger, or [[Portobello mushroom|portobello]] burger. In most English-speaking countries, including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, a piece of chicken breast in a bun is a '''chicken burger'''. Americans would call this a ''[[chicken sandwich]]'' because the meat is not ground, whereas in other countries, anything with a bun is considered a ''burger'' and a ''[[sandwich]]'' uses other types of bread (sliced bread, baguette...).<ref name="Unilever" /><ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-07-30 |title=14 Names Other Countries Have For Food That Will Confuse Every Aussie |url=https://punkee.com.au/australian-food-names-different-other-countries/127082 |access-date=2022-02-09 |website=Punkee |language=en-US}}</ref><ref name="Murphy2018">{{Cite book|last=Murphy|first=Lynne|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uh69DwAAQBAJ&pg=PT209|title=The Prodigal Tongue: The Love–Hate Relationship Between British and American English|date=2018-03-29|publisher=Oneworld Publications|isbn=978-1-78607-270-2|pages=211|language=en|quote=...the British are so particular about sandwiches that they use the word ''less'' than Americans do. In Britain, a '''''sandwich''''' is some filing between two ''slices of bread''. Not a roll. Not a bagel. Not a baguette. Without sliced bread, it's not a sandwich. The American ''sandwich'' prototype is much like the British: savoury filings within two slices of bread. However, American sandwiches are allowed to wander further from the prototype because they interpret the 'bread' requirement more loosely. An American sandwich can be on a roll, on a bagel, on a bun, on a croissant, and at breakfast time, on an English muffin...}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2018-03-20 |title=Hamburgers usurp classic baguette sandwich in France |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-43476542 |access-date=2025-05-07 |language=en-GB}}</ref>
