Well that all depends. If I'm eating a burger at the local burger joints,
I'd not use the term sandwich. At home, we sometimes have hamburgers just
plain, with a salad and veggies on a dish, but other times, if no buns
around, I'd put it on sliced bread. Then it would be a hamburger sandwich.

If I made a meal with sliced roast beef, cheese, may, lettuce and put it on
a hamburger bun, would it be a roast beef hamburger? Or would it be a roast
beef sandwich?
