An American couldn’t believe that anyone would call this a ‘chicken burger’ and ended up battered – 13 delicious takedowns
Time now to return to the yawning cultural divide that exists between the United States and, well, basically the whole of the rest of the world.
And this time the topic up for debate is burgers. Specifically, chicken burgers, and whether this is – or isn’t – one.
The image went viral after it was shared by American – at least, we think he’s American – @PortlyNord who’s convinced it isn’t.
Here’s the image they shared …
… and what they had to say about it.
‘Learned today that Aussies call this a “chicken burger” and about had aneurysm.’
And it prompted quite the debate, as you’ve probably already guessed by now. And these people surely said it best.
It’s bizarre how mad Americans get when they discover everyone else in the entire world calls something a more sensible name. https://t.co/X0gJYeLBA2

In what world is chicken burger more sensible than chicken sandwich.

Americans insist they should be called chicken sandwiches, which is clearly nonsense because no one’s cutting those things into triangles for the lunch box

Talking of which …
we define ‘burger’ by the preparation of the meat and not the bread/bun. a chicken burger would have a ground and cooked patty, to us this is a sandwich

nothing can unite our country quite like collective opprobrium at degenerate seppos with the audacity to define a burger by the meat and not the bun while pointing to a beef patty and calling it ham https://t.co/JAgOHzSmEM

Yankees will really call the main course of a meal the “entrée” and then post a picture of something that is unmistakably a burger and go “wow these weird foreigners call this a burger, wild” https://t.co/STjwfWw6HV

It’s easy to laugh at this tweet, but this shouldn’t be funny. Americans only start arguments about burger when they’re very distressed https://t.co/Woz7YIRWKX

This person was particularly straight talking.
You stupid cunts call this a pie https://t.co/bVd6UVSnVp pic.twitter.com/U9VDZWFPLK

Not sure about the language but it’s a fair point.
A particularly enjoyable genre of tweets is Americans choosing to die on a hill and discovering *the literal whole rest of the world* does things differently. https://t.co/RE3lpx9lju

Until next time, America!
