Hamburger

Hey readers,
As you can see I cooked through every region of the US. After that I cooked, baked or made meals that you know everywhere in the US, like burgers, chicken wings, and spare ribs.
So, at first I am going to introduce you to the famous burger. Everyone knows it, fast food shops like Mc Donald's  sell them every day . There are different burgers like the normal hamburger, or  chicken burgers, cheeseburgers, vegetarian burgers, and many more. Everyone knows it, but where does it come from, how does it get its name?
First of all, let's see what a burger has to have to be one. A burger is an open-faced sandwich with meat, usually it's beef, and some kind of sauce, like ketchup in it. It is not clear where the burger comes from, but one that for sure is that the word hamburger doesn't come from the English word ham.
There are two theories of the burger's history. The first theory is that it comes from Germany, from Hamburg.  It was a round sandwich with roast beef and roast sausage and came with the German settlers to America. In the middle twenties its name changed from hamburger to burger.
Another theory is that it came from a fair in Erie County, near by Hamburg (Buffalo, state NY). The Mencher brother had a hot pork diner there and when they hadn't enough meat they started to experiment with beef, and created the hamburger and called it after their village Hamburg.
And now you can choose which one you will believe. I think they could both be true.
When I made the burger my thought was that it isn't  enough for everyone ( I had one burger for each person). I made two kinds of burgers, a small one and a big one. I had a big burger, and let me tell you, one burger for each person WAS enough!!!! I was so satisfied after just ONE burger.  When you eat a burger at Mc Donald's  you have to eat 2 to be satisfied (I heard some people can eat 4, but I'm super thin and I can eat just 2 or 3, I don t know I actually never tried). And of course they tasted super delicious, much better than from Mc Donald's. That was my burger, I made the meat so big that I could hardly eat it, because the big ones had two pieces of meat in it AND bacon. I can recommend it to you to make it yourself because of three reasons. First, it tastes better when you do it yourself, second you can control what you want to put on your burger and mix whatever you like, third, you know if there is real meat on your burger and not just pureéd rest of whatever they put in there! I don t want to judge you, I eat at fast food shops too, but after I heard that they chop so much of the rain forest to have free places to feed the cows that become beef , I started  to eat at Mc Donald's just when I had to, and mostly no meat.  So my advice for you, (you don't have to follow it of course, just a suggestion!) try to  think about what you eat, or what you THINK you eat!!!
