Why do they call it hamburger when it's a beef burger?

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Because it's an evolution of the Hamburg steak, which was named for the city of Hamburg.

Also: doesn't the word "burger" stem from the word "hamburger"?

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

No, no, it stems from hambourgeois!

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

TIL. For the longest of times I just assumed it was literally ham and never even considered ordering it from a menu!
