Hamburger
Hamburger
Hamburger (/ˈhæmbɝːɡər/), also known as a burger, is a sandwich consisting of one or more cooked patties of ground meat, usually beef, placed inside a sliced bread roll or bun.
Etymology
The term "hamburger" originally derives from Hamburg, Germany's second-largest city, from where many people emigrated to the United States. In High German, Burg means "fortified settlement" or "fortified refuge" and is a widespread component of place names. Hamburger can be a descriptive noun in German, referring to someone from Hamburg (compare London -> Londoner) or an adjective describing something from Hamburg. In English, its only definition is the culinary one.
