The Hamburger |
|
| A hamburger is a sandwich involving a patty of ground meat that is usually beef. The meat can be |
| grilled, fried, steamed, or broiled. A hamburger is generally served with various condiments and |
| toppings inside a bun baked especially for this purpose. Burgers are often served with French fries |
| or potato chips.
A common theory is that the word "hamburger" originated from Hamburg, Germany. In Hamburg |
| it was common to to put a
piece of roast pork into a roll, called Rundstück warm, although this
is missing the "essence" of the modern hamburger, which is
ground meat.
Hamburgers are generally served in fast food restaurants, and often served as a common picnic and |
| party food cooked outdoors on barbecue grills. |
