  Always feels weird to me that Yanks call weiners hot dogs even though the whole thing with the bun is a hot dog. Would feel like calling minced meat hamburger meat or something hah

    We call minced meat (“ground beef” in the Americas, a hamburger, burger, or burger patty when it’s shaped into a flat circle.

    It’s not uncommon for us to call a circle of ground beef a “burger” even if it’s sans-bun.

    Worse still is the pronunciation of “bologna”. How. Just how. None of you seppos have the right to tell me about how I pronounce “herbs” or “pecans”. Then again, our pronunciation of “lieutenant” is messed up.

      The g is silent, obviously. Have some culture.

        The “g” isn’t silent. the “gn” in Italian (and French) is pronounced like a “n” with a tilde (~, e.g “ñ”) in Spanish.

        • bologna = bo lo nya
        • gnocchi = nyo ki
        • cognac = co nyak
        • jalapeño = ha la pe nyo

  They’re actually just human portions of a hot dog for titans. You ever see one of those mother fuckers? You don’t carry a three foot hotdog as thick as your leg, you wield it.
