2 girls prepare hamburger
The exact history of the word "hamburger" is unclear. The only certainty is that. The first letter of "Ham" nothing with the English "Ham" have (= ham) do. [1] There are however competing theories on the origin of the hamburger
One is that he was due in fact to the German city of Hamburg. There are snacks in the Hamburg round piece warm. This snack consists of a wheat bun ("round piece") with a slice of roast and gravy in it, which is also given. Another variant of this classic "Hamburger piece" consists of a wheat bun made with ground beef patty steak and egg yolks. The recipe came with German immigrants in the United States. At the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis were such mince rolls - still without the "he" extension - sold as "Hamburg".
In an American cookbook in 1842 for the first time and again the term hamburger steak for a steak of beef (US.: ground beef, brit: minced meat) on. The patty was also called "hamburger steak kind".
Another theory suggests that the name was created in 1885 at a fair in Erie County near the city of Hamburg in Buffalo in upstate New York. There the Menches Brothers had a snack stand, where they experimented because of a shortage of Hot Pork (roast pork) with beef as a substitute. They called their creation according to the birthplace of Hamburg. This theory is supported by the New York State officially distributed with the slogan New York's Gift to World Cuisine, The Hamburger. [2]
Another theory suggests that in the early years of settlement in the United States (before the construction of the cattle) imported beef (mainly via the Port of Hamburg, cooled with Blockice) a luxury, was the slang word Hamburg designated generally beef superior quality, these should therefore be noted.
