Burgers were invented in America.

Now sure, the Hamburger is named after Hamburg in Germany. However, the German version is actually the Hamburg steak. In other words, the meat patty. And a patty does not a burger make.

America was the country that put the bun on the hamburger. This, in drag’s opinion, is when the Hamburg steak became the “burger”. A new word, losing the ham and becoming what would be translated from German as “The people’s meal”. An apt description for the American burger.

    The burger comes from Germany but was adapted and popularised through the USA.

    But seriously nationalities are stupid enough, we don’t need to start giving passports to foods.
