since its not HAM included in this BURGER...I heard some rumours that an immigrant who was coming from the north German city Hamburg did start the Hamburger thing in the USA...is that true or false??
It's like with Frankfurt and the Frankenfurter, and Berlin and the Berliner (a kind of roll).
because the meat is a hamburger steak from hamburg germany history channel or food network did a show on it
It does have something to do with Hamburg, Germany. I don't recall the exact story. If you get ahold of a book called "Panati's Extraordinary Origins of Everyday Things" the whole thing is in there.
Yeah, I think that's it, too....It has to do with the city of Hamburg in Germany. Any person or thing coming from Hamburg is called a Hamburger, so if a Hamburger created a sandwich from there, and brought it here, he might have named it a Hamburger.

It began as "Hamburg Steak" then later "Hamburger Steak." This was just a type of ground beef made into a pattie and served, similar to crab cakes or salmon patties now.
A place called "Louis' Lunch" in Connecticut claims to have invented the hamburger sandwich. It's served there on two pieces of toasted white bread -- likely the habit of serving hamburgers on round rolls later evolved as a better fit to the round pattie.
to ur question..it's true...According to the American Heritage Dictionary, the term "hamburger" comes from Hamburg steak, which was first recorded in English in 1884 but was probably used much earlier. A form of pounded beef called "Hamburg Steak" was common in Hamburg in the middle of the 19th century. The recipe was brought to North America by the large numbers of people emigrating from Germany at the time, many of whom passed through the port of Hamburg. There is indirect evidence for its use on an American menu in 1836. The form hamburger steak first appeared in a Washington state newspaper in 1889. The first recipe close to the current idea of a hamburger, using ground beef mixed with onion and pepper, dates from 1902.In a time without refrigerators, when it took weeks to travel from Europe to the USA, cured meat was a standard food for poor US immigrants, who often started from Hamburg (which was and is the biggest German seaport and one of the biggest in the world). In a tween deck, where cooking is nearly impossible, cutting tough cured beef into pieces and putting it between slices of bread may suggest itself.
