So a McDonald's hamburger isn't even a hamburger? It's just a "burger"? (Admittedly, I see the culinary distinction between a McBurger and a "real" hamburger, but we still call 'em hamburgers, and that's how they're listed on the menu . . .

Bah. If the roll's small enough that's how I eat it anyway - sliced in two with butter on each half. All that dainty pulling small bits off and buttering them individually is foofy nonsense reserved for fancy dinner parties. :) -Mark
