Hamburger
Person from Hamburg
A hamburger is a sandwich consisting of a cooked ground beef patty served in a sliced bun, typically with toppings like lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and condiments.
The word often shortens to burger, which then combines freely: cheeseburger, turkey burger, veggie burger.
Hamburger also refers to the ground beef itself: a pound of hamburger.
The name comes from Hamburg, Germany, though the sandwich is quintessentially American.
