About Hamburgers
A burger, or hamburger is cooked minced (ground) meat
which is served in a bun, usually with garnishes such as
mustard, tomato ketchup or relish, mayonnaise, lettuce,
tomato and onion. Strictly speaking the meat bit is called a
patty and was traditionally beef, however today it can be made
of any ingredient and many people refer to just the meat as a
burger.
Contrary to the name, a hamburger never did contain any ham. The
name derives from Hamburg
steak, and was named after the German city of Hamburg
where pounded beef was common in the the mid 1800s.
