    Food for thought: a sufficiently tall and narrow burger ain’t a burger anymore, when it’s roughly spherical rather than roughly cylindrical it’s also not a burger and if it’s large and brick-like it’s yet something else.

    spoiler

    Cevapcici Kofta; Meatball; Meatloaf.

    So burger is a geometrically bound dish definition.

      Meatloaf and meatballs have things like egg and breadcrumbs mixed in, and don’t tend to come on buns.

      People who put such things in their hamburger patties are eating meatloaf sandwiches, not hamburgers.
