This type of sandwich refers to the hamburger and hotdog sandwiches, which are usually served in fast food establishments. They key element here is that this type of sandwich is assembled even before the customer orders it. Add to that the convenience of eating a sandwich and you have a meal that’s affordable and substantial enough until you get home for dinner.
The hamburger is a popular fast food meal consisting of a hamburger bun with a grilled or pan-fried ground beef patty in the middle, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, mayonnaise, and ketchup. In essence, it is really a sandwich. The hamburger (or hamburger sandwich, as it was originally called, according to The Nibble online magazine on specialty foods), is an all-American classic sandwich. Its core element is the hamburger patty, traditionally made from pure ground beef but made healthier nowadays with its various alternatives — mushroom burger, turkey burger, lamb burger, even fish burger patties take their turn on the bun.
There are a thousand and one recipes of the hamburger, each one using the basic ingredients as a jump off point and then leaping off to using more creative ingredients and techniques. From using Angus beef as a source for the patty to melting provolone or gruyere cheese to garnishing the burger with everything from fried eggs to caramelized onions — the possibilities are really endless when it comes to this fast food sandwich.
Likewise is the hotdog sandwich, which at its most basic is a hotdog or sausage wedged in between a split roll. The spread of mayonnaise on the buns, the mustard and ketchup duet on the hotdog, the jewel or pickle relish, and the hotdog itself — all of these can be transformed into more gourmet or healthier varieties that will appeal to the sandwich and sausage lovers alike.
