WTF is a Veggie? Isn't that what Catchup used to be?

Ketchup is technically a smoothie!

Or maybe they will just not care bout you, unless you actually seem interested? I am pretty sure there has been much much more people trying to convince me to eat meat or drink alcohol than the other way around.

Vegetarians maybe.

But CrossFit people will always find you!

Unless they are Vegan CrossFitters... But I imagine that'd be a bit more of "crossing the streams" kind of occurance

Here's the history:

The term hamburger originally derives from Hamburg,[2] Germany's second largest city, from which many people emigrated to the United States. In High German, Burg means fortified settlement or fortified refuge and is a widespread component of place names. Hamburger, in the German language, is the demonym of Hamburg. Similar to frankfurter and wiener, names for other meat-based foods, being demonyms of the cities of Frankfurt and Vienna (Wien), respectively.

The term "burger", a back-formation, is associated with many different types of sandwiches similar to a (ground meat) hamburger, using different meats, such as a buffalo burger, venison, kangaroo, turkey, elk, lamb, salmon burger or veggie burger.[3]

Huh. That makes a lot of sense, now I come to think about it.

I'll take my rabbit food on the side, please.

Would like to add clarification here.

The Hamburg steak came from Hamburg.

The origins of what is the Hamburger are not conclusively known.


The Hamburg steak was a minced steak delicacy whose origins can be traced back through the Russian Steppes to the Mongol tribes.

The Germans improved upon the recipe but it was a luxury do to it being hand minced(a time consuming process).

The recipe made its way to America(the US) where it also was a delicacy until american meat shops adopted another German invention, the meat grinder.

For various reasons, portable hand held food (sometimes known as dock food) quickly became a regular part of the american diet. Due to this, the Americans embraced the meat grinder more quickly than the more traditionalist European countries.

The modern Hamburger (served in bun/bread) is believed to be a US innovation that dates from somewhere between 1885 - 1904.

Most historians believe that it was invented in the southwest (Athens, Texas 1885-ish), some believe it was in the mid-west(Wisconsin or Illinois 1885-1887-ish) and a few contend it was on the east coast because of a claim that the first hamburger was sold there in 1895.

We are likely to never know, with 100% certainty, from where the first "Hamburger" originated. But we can take comfort that it is here and that the variety of recipes continues to grow.

Btw,, one of my personal best and favourite recipes is for an Italian seasoned, Merlot marinaded and cream cheese stuffed sirloin burger.
Hmm, I might make that soon. If so, will try to remember to take pictures and post up.

Also, my favorite fast food chain burgers are usually from the Texas chain "Whataburger". They make them to order and I firmly believe that one of their Triple Triples is a mandatory experience for any human carnivore.
