Ever Wonder

you can call it a beefburger, but interestingly, according to wikipedia it's because it's named after the Hamburg Steak, popular in that city in germany. It got bought over to USA and gained in fame there.

I have always wondered that myself; I never knew they originated from Germany. Oh, and just as a side: Wikipedia may not be a credited source, but not all of it is inaccurate. There's a lot of stuff I found on Wikipedia that is pretty factual.

Because they were originally made in Hamburg Germany. Now the real question is if Hamburgers come from Hamburg, shouldn't Cheeseburgers come from Cheeseburg?

No, but now I am. THere are alot of things like that though. Why do they call a butterfly a butterfly when it has not butter in it? Why is a chicken fried steak called that when in reality I think it is beef that they make it with. You just never know how things get named.

Because it started in Hamburg, Germany....so they call it Hamburger.

nothing just to say it is so fun to read lol, fun dicussion . Good day to you

I wonder really, should I write again that it's because of hamburg germany, or should I thank the ones who mentioned it before me?? or should I just say well ok that's smart but why do we call sandwitches so?? they got no sand in them I think! well, the ones my little sister makes have, but she's 4
