Yeah, think it’s quite silly that the EU is wasting time on this, but here we are.
In the end it’s more about labeling than language anyway. No one is banned from calling anything they want to a “burger”. You can’t just put it in the label when you want to sell it, and I think that is fair enough.
I don’t know man, for me ‘burger’ also refers to the shape. Fry up a lovely mushroom or whatever and add it instead of the meat and I would call it a burger still.
but you can have fish burgers and veggie burgers and whatever-you-want-to burgers if you like.
I’d would not call those burgers, but I also don’t think it’s necessary to police what other people call them.
Making this into a political issue is just silly. Arguing over what is and isn’t a burger should be reserved for teasing your vegan friends at the barbecue.

Huh, what’s with all the shapes in Danish?
For a me a burger is defined the meat patty and secondarily the buns.
The patty in Danish is called a ‘bøf’ or ‘hakkebøf’, but you can have fish burgers and veggie burgers and whatever-you-want-to burgers if you like.
