Believe it or not, there's actually places in the US where it's called a hamburg and others were it's called a burger. There's more regional variation than you'd think, but I realize this is just a Simpsons joke.
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

Ah, thanks for the reference.
I see.
Well, Lemmy, I made it- despite your directions

Nah, I refuse to believe that people who live in this county are like, "Hey buddy, want to stop by Wedny's for a steamed ham?" Get real, they watch the same commercials as the rest of us.
A lot of us are obsessed with free software and dedicate our entire existence to not doing even the slightest most minor thing that might support corporate corruption and enshitification, not even sit through a 15 second ad.
I don't even know what burger commercials look like.
God I'd go for a burger right now. Your comment literally worked as an ad for me.
aurora borealis?
At this time of year?
In this Lemmy community?
Localized entirely within your kitchen?
Despite the fact they are obviously grilled?
Maybe they had a place that did their burgers like white castle. The meat is cooked on top of onions so it is technically steamed rather than grilled.
First burgers were actually steamed in little trays.
uuuhh up-state new york
So not in Utica, then?
no it's an Albany expression
I thought you said this map would be about steamed clams?
Cross post this to dataisbeautiful.
May I see it?
No.
I think people are missing the Simpsons reference.
My guess is yes, on account of me living in the Capital District for two decades and never heard hamburgers referred to as steamed ham. I rarely watch the Simpson's, so it all makes sense now.
They are neither ham nor steamed, unless that's exactly what they are having over there? Wouldn't compare it to a hamburger though... (A hamburger being a Hamburg steak, as in the German city)
It's an old family recipe, patented skinnerburgers
For steamed hams?
yes.
So you call them steamed hams, despite the fact they are obviously grilled.
White Castle is steamed.
