Hamburgers
Hamburgers
Hamburgers (pronunciation: /ˈhæmbɝːɡər/), also known as burgers, are a type of sandwich consisting of one or more cooked patties of ground meat, usually beef, placed inside a sliced bread roll or bun. The patty may be pan fried, grilled, smoked or flame broiled.
Etymology
The term "hamburger" originally derives from Hamburg, Germany's second-largest city, from where many people emigrated to the United States, bringing with them their culinary traditions, including the "Hamburg steak", which evolved into the hamburger we know today.
