So basically Americans or even German American immigrants went "this would be better as a sandwhich" and it stuck.

Disappointed that it’s not a type of burger made of ham tbh

German chocolate cake is not German. It was originally called German's chocolate cake, as it was invented by a person with the last name German.

That's true though. In India it's butter chicken, and they made a slightly different version of it in the UK called chicken Tikka Masada, and they make a butter chicken there which is a sweet version of the OG butter chicken.
