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.
