What I Call Things

Isn't it an English Muffin?

They have a similar look, but a totally different texture. Hard to explain though! This shows the internals of a crumpet, and helps show why people like to melt butter (or other things) over the top of them after they toast them up.

That looks like what I would call an Engliah muffin

We need to get Face in here so he and I can fight over the term "chicken burger."

You know, the only reason you Americans don't call chicken burgers chicken burgers is because the beef industry lobbied to have only beef burgers legally recognised as burgers. Before that, you called chicken burgers chicken burgers, just like us.

It's cute you Brits are so particular with what you call your quasi-food to convince yourself they have something resembling unique flavors.

Oh, this makes me mad! As if OUR food is the quasi-food and not those pink abominations you Americans like to call hot dogs.

No! A burger can be any minced or ground meat. A chicken burger would be made of ground chicken, not a whole chicken breast. If you have a chicken breast on a roll, that is a chicken sandwich.

It isn't beef that makes a burger, the the ground consistency. Turkey burger! Pork burger! Veggie burger! A slab or portobello isn't a mushroom burger! It's... Well an abomination for starters, but it's a mushroom sandwich!
