Hiya Deb!

I say either burgers or hamburgers depending on the moment.

For example:
Burgers and fries.
Hamburgers and hotdogs.

They all mean the same thing to me though. ;)

- Funny how our words change depending on what it's served "with" .. just as with the two examples you gave.
  No "hamburg" for you. Burgers or hamburgers coming up.
  Thank you. :)

Bacon cheeseburger please and if I have a hot dog it is a Michigan.....Google that one debtahals...it is an odd regional food where I live served on a hot dog...and it is good!:)

- I heard your challenge and hit google. Never mind a burger or hamburg. Make your HAMBURGER one with cheese. And make sure the right topping is on your hot dog .. call it a Michigan .. as long as you're not in Michigan! Must be in northern New York.

  Cracked me up as it then goes on about a Coney dog.
  My dad used to say he bought hamburg from the store so he could grill hamburgers. Go figure. :)

We use "burgers" and "hamburgers" interchangeably. My ex-mother-in-law (from Massachusetts) used to say "hamburg" which sounded odd to me but it was probably a regional thing. We don't have burgers with hot dogs..we either have one or the other. Each satisfies a different part of the palate..if we're hungry for hotdogs we're not interested in hamburgers and vice-versa! :)
Comments
- My dad used "hamburg" and that was NY then CT .. and you heard it in Massachusetts, so maybe it "is" a regional thing. I just caught myself the other day chopping off the end but guess I "heard" in my mind's eye what I said and asked "hey .. why did I do that"!!! (I use it all three ways)
  I agree re: hot dogs/hamburgers. For every day .. yeah .. one or the other. Company going to be here? Then it's both .. automatically.
  Thanks, Rosie. :)

Either “hamburgers” or just “burgers.” And yes, they’re the same thing.
Comments
- I've heard:
  -- hot dogs and hamburgs
  and
  -- hot dogs and hamburgers
  but not usually
  -- hot dogs and burgers
  But Jay brought up a good point, it's
  -- burger and fries - not hamburg or hamburger
  Thanks!!
