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 immigrating 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. [3] The Oxford English Dictionary of 1802, on the other hand, defines "Hamburg Steak" simply as cured beef. Salt-cured meat or salted meat, for example Ham, Bacon, or kippered herring, is meat or fish preserved or cured by 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. [4]

United Kingdom

Hamburgers in the UK are very similar to their U. S. cousins, and the high-street is dominated by the same big two chains as in the U. S. —McDonald's and Burger King. The menus offered to both countries are virtually identical, although portion sizes tend to be much smaller in the UK.

An original and indigenous rival to the big two U. S. giants was the quintessentially British fast-food chain Wimpy, originally known as Wimpy Bar, which served its burgers or cheeseburgers with British-style chips, served on a plate accompanied by flatware and delivered to the customer's table. French fries ( North American English; sometimes not capitalized chips ( British English) fries or French-fried potatoes (formal Wimpy began to die out in the late 1980s, disappearing from most UK high-streets. However, it persists in some town centers and particularly at motorway service stations, resembling much more the U. S. style system of counter-service.

Hamburgers are also available from mobile kiosks, particularly at outdoor events such as football matches. In the Mediterranean Basin and the Near East, a kiosk ( Persian کوشک Kushk Arabic كشك Koshk Turkish Köşk Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is a Team sport played between two teams of eleven players and is widely considered Burgers from this type of outlet are usually served without any form of salad - only fried onions and a choice of tomato ketchup or brown sauce.
