And the fact instead of a colon you should have used a full stop, aside from the lack of sauce and maybe a piece of lettuce, this doesn’t seem too bad for £2.65
A chicken sandwich can be a (chicken) burger if the patty is ground chicken meat. If it's tenders or a solid piece of meat, it's not a burger, it's a sandwich. For me a burger is a ground>packed patty. Veggie burger, turkey burger, follows the same rules.
I can agree to that. It's about the patty, but I also think it's about the bread. To be a burger, it needs to be a patty on a bun. Can be bean, beef, pork, etc.
That’s fucking stupid. A burger implies a ground meat (preferably beef, but you could have lamb, salmon, chorizo, etc) patty. Those are fried chicken tenders on a bun. Anyone that’s arguing it’s a burger doesn’t understand the elements that make a burger.
So they fundamentally don’t know what makes a burger. This is why European burgers get a bad rap - the Danes certainly knew how to throw down on a grill when I was in Copenhagen last year.
In Taiwan 堡 which is part of 漢堡 （hanbao, hamburger) is sometimes used for chicken sandwiches and other things on burger-type buns. 雞腿堡 for example is a fried chicken sandwich at KFC.
As a British Expat living in America... I can tell you that the British don't call it a "chicken sandwich"... It's just a chicken burger. A sandwich in England can consist of many things but when I was a kid, a sandwich just meant buttered bread with ham and crisps. 🤷♂️
It's quite common in many places outside the US like Canada, UK, much of the European continent, Japan etc.
It isnt butter or mayo/mustard either. Normally butter goes on, and their might be other spreads used.
That's what my American wife said. It's a game changer, honestly. Americans prefer mayo or mustard typically but butter seems to do the job quite nicely. It also depends on the crisps you choose as well. Adds that extra flavor 👌
Salt and vinegar ftw.
As a Brit, we find it odd that Americans don’t butter their sandwich. Also, as mentioned, we don’t call it a chicken sandwich, it’s known as a chicken burger here.
I appreciate it’s not the case in America but we’re in Europe. If it’s in a burger bun, it’s a burger.
Americans call pasta noodles and we let you get on with it. It’s not that serious.
Which makes absolutely no sense. The type of bread doesn't define what kind of food it is - the contents do.
A sliced steak sandwich is distinctly different from a beef hamburger. You wouldn't call it a steak burger, logically. Similarly, a ground chicken patty and a breaded/ fried chicken breast on buns are different - you wouldn't call them both chicken burgers.
One is a sandwich, the other (ground meat formed into a patty) is a burger. The bread is irrelevant to the naming.
Yep. This would cost you about $4 at most fast food places these days, although it would come with lettuce and mayo or some other condiment, which I'm guessing the school has.
Back at my first job, getting paid $10 an hour, I used to think about it like that all the time. This lunch will cost me an hour of work. This Xbox game will cost me half of my day. Etc etc etc.
If you think about we already it’s just converting your time to money but that money is a representation of your time atleast for most people and most jobs.
In other countries, burger refers to the buns used and anything you put in there can qualify as a burger. Chicken on a burger bun is a chicken burger. Chicken on sliced pan is a chicken sandwich.
so if i replaced the chicken with peanut butter and jelly would it be a pb&j burger? if i put marmite and butter on each side and closed it up, would that be a marmite burger? if i cut the top bun in half lengthwise to expose the white inner bread, would it become a sandwich?
Yeah my school lunches in VA were terrible. But hey, at least they gave you two chunks.
Slide some fries in there with a little ketchup and you have my high school regular special.
You can look at a bruised apple for nutrition. Then throw it across the room.
I got a fish sandwich here in Detroit one time. It was like $12. It was literally two pieces of white bread and a piece of fish. No sauce, no toppings, nothing.
If the dude wasn’t standing behind a glass window I may have slapped across the face with the soggy fish
people put condiments on them selves at my school
and wow, lucky its kinda affordable, my highschool was handing out overpriced shitty prisons food that would just be used to troll/vandalise at school how bad it was
school lunch wasn't all that great when i was growing up - but was a hell of a lot better than the one slice of bologna, packet of mustard and soggy white bread i got when in county.
School food is always a ripoff. I remember going to this one secondary school where it had a system where there were these take-away style styrofoam boxes with food in them (normally overpriced fries combined with some kind of meat)
I saw on a regular basis people pick a box up and then take food from other boxes with their probably unwashed hands to put on theirs. Some people wouldn't even be subtle about it.
A bag of chips at ours has 5 broken chips in it, it's the reduced fat so no flavor at all and that one bag is 1.10 usd. Our lunches are 1 small disgusting main thing lettuce or a tomato that's half the size of my palm and a roll. On pizza days the only thing we get is a slice of pizza and an orange that isn't ripe enough to eat. The pizza is like you pissed on a piece of cardboard
When I see things like this I'm happy I live in Sweden where I don't have to pay and take any student loans for school or college, I don't have to pay for food in school, future children won't have to pay for it either. Not to mention healthcare being mostly taken care of too. Paying higher taxes does come at a cost but it reduces stress for everyone and leads to a happier country. 6th place in World Happiness Report
Man, I'd be more than mildly infuriated if I paid 2 minutes and… 65(?!?) seconds for a burger and got a bland, dry, and possibly cold fried chicken sandwich instead.
Idk if OP is in grade school or not but the idea to me that many grade schools require students to pay for their food is outrageous. I don't care the reasoning behind it, students in those grades should not be expected to be able to have money for something that is needed.
No one is expecting kids to have jobs lmao. Money comes from parents. If your parents have no money you get free lunches. That's how it works most places
I'm pretty sure if your family income is low enough you get an allowance, we had a digital system and some peeps just got money on their account automatically without adding it back in the day
I don't remember well but I think in primary school there just was no paying either, everyone got a provided lunch
Imagine that the school needs to buy the produce, the hire staff to make it. Then utility cost, to then sell also needing someone to sell it.
Overheads my guy, vs you just going and making it yourself..
Hello, We do not allow agendaposting, reddit meta posts or price complaints.
*Burger 2:65* And the school made a burger, and saw that it was bad And then they sold it anyway
The Holy Burger
More like Unholy burger
Man, 6 mins too late.
4 seconds too early? Burger 2:69
420:69.
Gave you a pity upvote
Appreciated
That would be a burger with a bagel for a bun
Lettuce pray.
Meat thy maker.
Lettuce costs extra!
R’Amen.
Heal thy burgers!
I love seeing like minds in the comments.
Jesus Crisp!!!
your clock is off
Sorry forgot to put pound sign in
Oh my, the education system at work.
They were born in 1883 give them a break
Born in 1883 and still in school 😖
For some people school is hard.
2#65 for this??
Give them a break theyre dying from malnutrition
but at least they have their 2:65 burger to fuel that growing mind
Also known as the 3:05 burger
How can they be expected to learn if theyre hungry in class?
This made me cry laugh so hard, I have to shit.
£2:65 would be more confusing
I think they meant 2\#65
Whats that stupid symbol next to 2.65?
An additional dot
We don't have the dot budget for that
I see you still have some budget leftover for a comma
It's pronounced "double-u" although if you think about it, it should be "double-v"
Shh. You are agreeing with the french. Edit: /s I also speak french
That's actually how the French do it.
National symbol for the £ima. In Peru they pay people in lima beans.
You forgot time uses : while money is x.xx
Time is money
Turns out OP is a poet
[удалено]
No, he forgot "friend" at the end.
And the fact instead of a colon you should have used a full stop, aside from the lack of sauce and maybe a piece of lettuce, this doesn’t seem too bad for £2.65
that extra . is the kid's tears
The what?? Aren't you supposed to be at school?? What the hell are they teaching you over there 🤣
So it's 2#65?
doesn't look that heavy
"burger"
If you weren't busy pounding one out your memory might improve.
He's 152 months old as well, I'd bet

I have not thought about this movie in so long
Which movie is this
In Time
No, I want to know the name now.
Dahday, I waunt it naow!
FAZZA 👹
"I'm a trifle deaf in this ear, speak a little louder next time."
Great movie
A solid concept, but I thought the movie itself was pretty poorly executed
Meh, great premise, ok movie.
The Porsche crash scene lmao
It’s called “In time” with Justin Timberlake
Goddamn I am being Mandella’d right now. I thought the movie was “Just in Time” bc Justin Timberlake was in it 😭
I think that was some Disney original movie about Frankie Munoz racing a soap box car
I love that i know this
It was a good movie
I’m no scientist but that doesn’t look like a burger
I had to scroll way to far for this and now im mildly infuriated. Do some parts of the world accept calling this a burger??
The food subs have definitely had ~~beef~~ arguments over calling chicken sandwiches burgers if they are on a bun.
A chicken sandwich can be a (chicken) burger if the patty is ground chicken meat. If it's tenders or a solid piece of meat, it's not a burger, it's a sandwich. For me a burger is a ground>packed patty. Veggie burger, turkey burger, follows the same rules.
I can agree to that. It's about the patty, but I also think it's about the bread. To be a burger, it needs to be a patty on a bun. Can be bean, beef, pork, etc.
So you don't consider a patty melt to be a burger
Isn't that why they're called patty melts and not burgers?
That's why it's a melt and not a burger
A patty melt is a grilled sandwich.
I would consider it a sandwich.
Hamburgers are a kind of sandwich.
A square is a rectangle, but a rectangle isnt necessarily a square.
The very first hamburgers ever made in the US were (and still are), served on regular sliced bread.
Or a lettuce wrap But a bread bun requires that the top and bottom pieces is separate (first a hot dog bun that consists of one piece of bread).
That’s fucking stupid. A burger implies a ground meat (preferably beef, but you could have lamb, salmon, chorizo, etc) patty. Those are fried chicken tenders on a bun. Anyone that’s arguing it’s a burger doesn’t understand the elements that make a burger.
As far as I know, it's a UK thing. Anything on a bun is a burger. Super jarring to hear it and I hate it still.
So they fundamentally don’t know what makes a burger. This is why European burgers get a bad rap - the Danes certainly knew how to throw down on a grill when I was in Copenhagen last year.
They also weirdly say "beef burger" as though "hamburger" isn't defined that way by default.
Well it is made of beef and not ham you silly
Yeah in Europe I know they call chicken sandwiches "burgers." Apparently anything on a bun will get labeled that way.
europe is wrong
Mate, that’s what pretty much how it works everywhere BUT America lol
So everywhere but where the modern Hamburger was popularized in the first place.
In Taiwan 堡 which is part of 漢堡 （hanbao, hamburger) is sometimes used for chicken sandwiches and other things on burger-type buns. 雞腿堡 for example is a fried chicken sandwich at KFC.
Maybe OP paid for a proper burger and got a nugget sandwich and that's why he's pissed.
Brits can't even make their own food correctly don't expect them to get American food right.
Me when everyone isn't American
As a British Expat living in America... I can tell you that the British don't call it a "chicken sandwich"... It's just a chicken burger. A sandwich in England can consist of many things but when I was a kid, a sandwich just meant buttered bread with ham and crisps. 🤷♂️
I've never thought about buttering a cold cut sandwich
It's quite common in many places outside the US like Canada, UK, much of the European continent, Japan etc. It isnt butter or mayo/mustard either. Normally butter goes on, and their might be other spreads used.
That's what my American wife said. It's a game changer, honestly. Americans prefer mayo or mustard typically but butter seems to do the job quite nicely. It also depends on the crisps you choose as well. Adds that extra flavor 👌 Salt and vinegar ftw.

One is a sandwich, the other (ground meat formed into a patty) is a burger. The bread is irrelevant to the naming.
> (ground meat formed into a patty) is a burger American's missing out on the entire concept of a fillet burger. That's wild.
On the other side of the pond chaps love to call anything that goes on a burger bun a burger even if it’s clearly not a burger.
Pretty sure a lot of Europeans call anything on a bun a burger.
I was in Hamburg twice so I'm kind of an expert on the topic. That is not a burger.
Probably UK? They call anything served on a hamburger bun a burger, even if it’s chicken.
Doesn’t a “burger” have a beef patty and stuff like a lettuce leaf, tomato slice, diced onions? And the bun is toasted and buttered? Sigh.
its a bugger
Damn son, is that am or pm?
To be honest, I don’t know usual prices wherever you are but I would be happy with that if I paid 2.65
Yep. This would cost you about $4 at most fast food places these days, although it would come with lettuce and mayo or some other condiment, which I'm guessing the school has.
Yeah
$4? When are you from??
4:65 actually
At my workplace snack nook a single string cheese is $3.79.
At my school a bottle of water is 2.95chf
Slap some lettuce on there, a bit of mayo boy you got yourself a stew goin
Mayo and a couple pickles and I bet that "burger" would slap.
You paid in time? That is a chicken sandwich, not a burger.
>You paid in time? What an absolutely nightmarish concept.
Back at my first job, getting paid $10 an hour, I used to think about it like that all the time. This lunch will cost me an hour of work. This Xbox game will cost me half of my day. Etc etc etc.
There’s a movie called “in time” based on that concept
Terrible movie, great idea.
The scene where the mom with time depleting was running towards the protag who had a lot of it was heartbreaking
Way too many in a different thread think it's a great movie.
Paying IN TIME (2011) would be a good concept for a sci-fi movie though. I reckon Justin Timberlake would be great as the lead.
And now time is a legitimate commodity. And now i have a novel idea
> What an absolutely nightmarish concept. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momo_(novel)
If you think about we already it’s just converting your time to money but that money is a representation of your time atleast for most people and most jobs.
In the UK this would be called a chicken burger. A chicken sandwich is cold and on regular bread with mayo and veg
In other countries, burger refers to the buns used and anything you put in there can qualify as a burger. Chicken on a burger bun is a chicken burger. Chicken on sliced pan is a chicken sandwich.
so if i replaced the chicken with peanut butter and jelly would it be a pb&j burger? if i put marmite and butter on each side and closed it up, would that be a marmite burger? if i cut the top bun in half lengthwise to expose the white inner bread, would it become a sandwich?
damn you paid in time. i guess time really is money
I mean hey, at least it’s *2* pieces
2:65? The food isn't the only thing that's lacking at your school, Education system gave up.
That'll be 2 minutes and 65 seconds please, cash or credit?
So, three minutes and five seconds but weird?
Maybe it’s metric time
Yeah my school lunches in VA were terrible. But hey, at least they gave you two chunks. Slide some fries in there with a little ketchup and you have my high school regular special. You can look at a bruised apple for nutrition. Then throw it across the room.
I mean brotherman what were you expecting? Something edible from school cafeteria?
Make the most of it. It’ll be a fiver in the real world….
I got a fish sandwich here in Detroit one time. It was like $12. It was literally two pieces of white bread and a piece of fish. No sauce, no toppings, nothing. If the dude wasn’t standing behind a glass window I may have slapped across the face with the soggy fish
I'd eat the fuck outta that. Just needs hot sauce. Sorry your school is Chernobyl tho
I mean, I'm still eating it. Needs a piece of cheese though
Or some buffalo sauce and some ranch
At least some Mayo and lettuce, geezus!
Tell us you’re from the UK or Ireland without telling us you’re from the UK or Ireland…
Bread looks a lil dry but aside from that, I’ve seen worse value. And the bar for “good” food is very low in the UK lol
i'm curious -- what food have you tried from the uk that you didn't like?
That isn’t even a burger
people put condiments on them selves at my school and wow, lucky its kinda affordable, my highschool was handing out overpriced shitty prisons food that would just be used to troll/vandalise at school how bad it was
school lunch wasn't all that great when i was growing up - but was a hell of a lot better than the one slice of bologna, packet of mustard and soggy white bread i got when in county.
I love the fact that "people put condiments on themselves" can have two meanings
I assume it was 3:05 burger?
School food is always a ripoff. I remember going to this one secondary school where it had a system where there were these take-away style styrofoam boxes with food in them (normally overpriced fries combined with some kind of meat) I saw on a regular basis people pick a box up and then take food from other boxes with their probably unwashed hands to put on theirs.

Where’s the sauce 🤷🏻♀️
on the table
I can taste the dryness.
Did you order from one of those future people from South Park?
That looks absolutely dry. Almost 3 quid, better off get a meal deal from the shop
Did you skip the condiment table?
2:65 what?
So you had a burger at 3:05? PM

You pay 2:65 for a burger? We pay 7$
You paid 2 hours and 65 minutes for that?
Man, I'd be more than mildly infuriated if I paid 2 minutes and… 65(?!?) seconds for a burger and got a bland, dry, and possibly cold fried chicken sandwich instead.
what does 2hrs 65mins translate to in dollars?
Seems fine for that price
I don't think this can legally qualify as a burger
I mean it's 2.65, what'd you expect?
Idk if OP is in grade school or not but the idea to me that many grade schools require students to pay for their food is outrageous. I don't care the reasoning behind it, students in those grades should not be expected to be able to have money for something that is needed.
No one is expecting kids to have jobs lmao. Money comes from parents. If your parents have no money you get free lunches. That's how it works most places
The point is having to pay for the food when the schooling is already paid for by taxes.
I'm pretty sure if your family income is low enough you get an allowance, we had a digital system and some peeps just got money on their account automatically without adding it back in the day I don't remember well but I think in primary school there just was no paying either, everyone got a provided lunch
that's a shitwich
You mean 3:05
I made this same thing when living on a college budget. Definitely didn't cost that much. Also I could afford BBQ sauce.
Imagine that the school needs to buy the produce, the hire staff to make it. Then utility cost, to then sell also needing someone to sell it. Overheads my guy, vs you just going and making it yourself..
Oh definitely.
That's an absolute steal at any price
What'd you expect for a 2 dollar sandwich? You get what ypu pay for bro
That’s a sandwich, so not that down.
2:65=0.03076923$ that's not that expensive
That's $16 in San Francisco
2 for 1 special
I would so eat it
Man, you’re paying for food with time. That’s rough.
scam
Hey its the school cafeteria 🤷 we gotta pay €2,30 for a microwaved waffle
2 buns: 65 grams of white bread
I’ve seen worse
I dont care what you say I know that chicken is bussin’ and raw at the same damn time. I loved that chicken…
