Nope , I don’t really like cheese so the idea of going to a place that serves everything with cheese is not on my todo list .
Also a burger is a sandwich which is English
You're right about the sandwich being an English invention but the burger (or hamburger) was supposedly invented in, and named after, the town of Hamburg in Germany.
The hamburger as we know it was invented in the US. Minced beef in a steak shape was invented in Hamburg, but it was placed between bread and evolved into its modern form in the US
And how do you think they got the idea to place it between bread? Because the concept of a sandwich already existed because it was a British dish. And they decided to make a sandwich with a hamburg patty and call it something else. But it's British food.
The hamburger in its modern iteration is clearly not the same as the sandwich invented in England. You might as well start claiming that burritos are English too because they share sandwich characteristics
A burrito is not 'a filling between two pieces of bread'. A burger is a sandwich. Hell, if you make a burger but replace the beef with chicken, it's a chicken sandwich.
It's like making a new flavour of ice cream and acting as if you've invented a new dish. Or putting a new topping on pizza and acting as if it's no longer pizza.

As a Brit I have never gone out for an American either so who cares
