Why do they call it hamburger when it's a beef burger?
Hamburg > Hamburger
Frankfurt > Frankfurter
Because it's an evolution of the Hamburg steak, which was named for the city of Hamburg.
TIL. For the longest of times I just assumed it was literally ham and never even considered ordering it from a menu!
Also: doesn't the word "burger" stem from the word "hamburger"?
No, no, it stems from hambourgeois!
Yep.
Because you ham in the burger out hot eat the burger
Are you having an aneurysm
