Terminology
The term "patty" is used in many varieties of English, but less frequently in Britain and Ireland than in the United States.[2] Merriam-Webster defines it as "a small flat cake of chopped food",[3] Cambridge as "pieces of food, especially meat, formed into a thin, circular shape and then usually cooked".[4] In some countries, patties may be called "discs."[5]
Similar-shaped cakes not made from ground beef may also be called "burgers": "fish burgers" may be made from reshaped mechanically separated meat.[6] Patties made from chicken meat may be called chicken patties.[citation needed]
