Round bun = Burger.

Regardless of the patty.

What's crazy is americans will eat a vege burger, a mushroom burger, pork, lamb, turkey patties etc.. all burgers. but as soon as you put fried chicken in it is suddenly becomes a sandwitch?

I know right?

When I called my husband's breakfast "grain stew" he got all precious about it. Apparently cooked oats in milk is called "oatmeal", and I'm wrong, but it's just stuff cooked in liquid? That's stew.

Why can't people make up their minds?

breakfast casserole.

It must be ground, formed into a patty, grilled, and served on a bun. All those examples follow that formula, the protein itself is of secondary importance (although if no protein is specified then beef is assumed).

A piece of fried chicken is not ground and formed into a patty, and thus cannot qualify.

Hey, I'm not American, and I never claimed they were rational or logical. It's just funny that I've had this exact discussion only recently.
