Here is a fun game

Coleslaw is to Hamburger as cabbage salad is to ?




Hamburger, because "coleslaw" is some random word suddenly imported out of nowhere, whereas a hamburger is a major food type and a huge part of American culture (and at this point, of the Universal culture).

Yes, I'm totally unfair here and essentially asking food fashion to get off my lawn, but that's why I wrote I'm only half-serious. Not all cases where I feel annoyed are 100% rational.


Meat patty?

Honestly, I don't get it, that's the only answer isn't it?


"Beef patty" probably comes closer, in the sense that it specifies what kind of meat as well?


Beef sandwich?
