    Yes, English (Simplified) really sounds like it’s how 5-year olds talk.

    Hamburger in lasagne?

      Meh, I’m no patriot, but I think American English is largely fine. Minced meat sounds gross, and for some reason when you drop the ‘d’ it means fruit. So yes;

      Hamburger in lasagna

      Hamburger in meatloaf

      Hamburger in Shepherd’s Pie (no one’s ever heard of cottage pie)

      Not hamburger in tacos, once cooked and seasoned we call that taco meat (you may have a point).
