A deep, philosophic-gastronomic question has been torturing me for long, hence I hereby call for the assistance of this respectable gathering of intelligent, yet laid-back people.
Are the most common fast food items a meal of their own?
I mean, you can fill up a burger, a burrito, a pizza, or deep fry almost anything you want.
Is a burger still a burger if you change the bread into rye and fill it up with rocket leaves, mozzarella, tomato sauce (not ketchup), and olives?
Is a pizza a pizza if instead of tomato you use purely pesto and trade the cheese for a coat of Mexican hot salsa?
Is a burrito a burrito if op fill it up with tofu and pasta?!
Moreover, I was watching a documentary the other day of fast food in Edinburgh, Scotland, and the lads over there deep fry everything. I mean everything. Question is: is a cordon blue chicken still a cordon blue if some Scottish guy deep fries it? Or it becomes instantaneously a Scottish delicacy?
Puzzled mind needs to know.

Just because one place in a documentary does this, doesn't mean it is what everybody does. If a documentary said that there is a place in Mexico where they eat puke and crap in a sandwich, would you extrapilate that it is the norm for the whole country? Seriously dude, you're better than that.
