when, glad to see the "kfc alabama cheeseburger" takes advantage of that loophole where "burger" can be things other than beef in different places

Can a chicken burger not be considered a burger where you are from, mh?

I've never heard, locally, anything other than a beef (or beef-approximating) patty on a bun referred to as a burger. As in, a burger is a beef hamburger patty. Black bean burgers or whatever vegan equivalent usually means something that looks like a beef hamburger but isn't.
Chicken on a bun is a chicken sandwich. I'm fine with "chicken burger" but it's not really a thing here
― mh, Monday, 15 May 2017 13:44 (six years ago) link
I guess a fringe case would be a ground meat on bun thing, the ground meat (or faux-meat) patty is the thing. I've had lamburgers and "chicken burgers" but they were ground meat, not a piece of chicken

the product on the right looks like some sort of cheese popper which would have jalapeno bits inside in the US, but I hesitate to make any assumptions on what the green bits could be elsewhere

Whatever happened to the jalapeño popper? Used to be everywhere. I guess I don't really patronize fast casual chains anymore so maybe I'm just not seeing them in my bubble.

Americans are eating less cereal, but executives at General Mills are hoping they’ve found a way to revive sales: By offering customers a chance to win one of 10,000 boxes filled with nothing but Lucky Charms marshmallows.On its website, General Mills calls marshmallow-only Lucky Charms “the unicorn of the cereal world — fantasized about, but never seen.” In reality, they come with more sugar per serving than a Snickers bar or Twinkie.It’s a change in direction for the maker of Cheerios, Trix and Wheaties, which two years ago announced it would remove artificial flavors and colors from Lucky Charms marshmallows by 2017. That effort has since stalled — company scientists have yet to find natural substitutes that won’t affect flavor — but Mike Siemienas, a Lucky Charms spokesman, says work is ongoing.“It’s still our biggest challenge,” Siemienas said. “We’ll let you know once we’ve found a solution.”
