Do you have this Burger in the US?

It's for real

it's a sausage sandwich

im not gonna even start to fix that burger.

did it have a TRIAL period before introduction? hmmmm?

secret recipe sauce of bavaria.

three sausages. two bread-halves. one legend.

something i've been wondering about recently.

when refering to citizens from Berlin, i've heard the term Berliner used.

So in the case of Hamburg..does that make their residents Hamburgers? Just curious.

Are people from Tampa called Tampons?

My German is a bit so so, so don't take my word on this. But I think, in German, "Berliner" means donut, and "Hamburger" means hamburger.

If you say "Er ist ein Berliner" or "Er ist ein Hamburger", you are calling someone a donut or a hamburger.

If you want to say someone comes from Berlin, you drop the indefinite article. You say "Er ist Berliner". Similarly, if you want to say someone is from Hamburg, you say "Er ist Hamburger".

My native speaker intuition is that you just say "He's a Hamburger" and let context do the rest. Same with Frankfurter.

a Berliner isn't exactly a donut, there's no hole in it. they can be quite good though.

which is why I was asking, it's just so cliché ...

To be honest, I wouldn't want to try the Nürnburger (which would have to be called Nuremburger in English), it looks horrible. I have made myself the exact same thing before using an ordinary Brötchen, some Nürnberger Bratwürstchen (quite good on their own) and Löwensenf Extra. It was alright, but not great. But any mass produced burger that has been trying to imitate real bread in place of ordinary burger bun has failed miserably. It always tastes like cardboard and comes apart like Styrofoam. Of course, being that way, it's still be better than the American standard for bread, but that's not exactly a compliment to say the least. I don't even want to imagine what the sausage tastes like ...

i think weinerschnitzel comes closest to having something like that.

If you were in germany, I dont know why you would buy sausages from an american company.

McDs in holland used do a kroket-burger

kroket is some nasty-ass shit
