Other foods[edit]

Lots of other disc shaped items are called patties. These should be included, not just burgers. For example mint patties, and also cow patties.

Again, only in the US. And more suited to either WikiDictionary or a disambiguation. FlagSteward 00:37, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Advertising[edit]

In addition to the disc-like shape that is typical of burgers, or patties, there can be other shapes to the ground meat as well. In the fast food restaurant Wendy's they pride themselves in making square burgers, which seems a very efficient shape since it can fit more easily into a box.

Is it just me, or does this sound like advertising?

It sounds a bit PR-ish anyway. The second bit sounds blatantly like original research, and I have rewritten that too. Fourohfour 20:07, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

European Usage[edit]

The word patty isn't exclusively American. It is used, most definitely, in the United Kingdom, particularly to my awareness in parts of Yorkshire. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.6.153.178 (talk) 18:22, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
