seiko 0 Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 It is not to do with winter sports (!) but why is hamburger called hamburger and not beefburger. It is made of cow (beef) right? Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 Seiko, I found this explanation for you. Some people may define the words differently; > A beefburger is beef alone (no bun, no salad, no sauce). A burger or hamburger is beef in a bun, usually although not necessarily together with some form of salad and some kind of sauce. Despite the name, a hamburger does contain beef, not ham. According to the definition of "Hamburg" in my edition of the Chambers Twentieth Century Dictionary the name came from the city of Hamburg in Germany. A cheeseburger is a hamburger with not only meat, salad and sauce but also a layer of cheese. There is one additional term used in the USA and Canada: you often see "hamburger meat" on sale in supermarkets. Hamburger meat for sale in supermarkets is ground beef, occasionally called ground round or ground chuck. < What Americans call 'hamburger' meaning ground beef, English people call 'mince'. McDonalds are possibly the worst hamburgers in the world, although apparently the most popular. Same goes for the beer touted as being the best in the world, Budweiser.

scouser 4 Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 I could never understand what it is with Budweiser. Any Bud buddies out there wish to explain? Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 It's cheap I guess. But not good. But I would say that no American Macrobrews are particularly good. Some people do like shitty beer though. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 beefburger is a name invented by Wimpy, where whimps eat, in conjunction with captain pirate Birdseye.
