Hamburgers or Burgers for short, are sandwiches consisting of a cooked patty of ground meat. The meat is usually beef, but is occasionally pork, turkey, or a combination of meats. The patty is place between an open, white bun, or between two slices of bread. Hamburgers are most times serves with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, or cheese and condiments such as mustard, mayonnaise and ketchup.
The term hamburger initially derives from the German City of Hamburg, Germany’s second largest city, from where many immigrated to America. Now hamburgers are usually a staple of fast food restaurants. Hamburgers served in major fast food restaurants are mass produced in factories and frozen for delivery to the site. These hamburgers are thin and of uniform thickness, varying from the conventional American hamburger prepared in homes and conventional restaurants, which is thicker and prepared by hand with ground beef. Tracing history back thousands of years, we learn that even the ancient Egyptians ate ground meat, and down through the ages we also find that ground meat has been shaped into patties and eaten all over the world under many different name.
