Hamburger
A hamburger is a kind of sandwich. It consists of one or more slices of meat, such as pork. This slice is put between two slices of bread, or in a bun. After that, toppings (like tomatoes, onions, cheese, salad) and dips are added.
Hamburgers are named for a city in Germany called Hamburg. They were probably invented in Germany, though what we now know as a hamburger was created in the United States in the 19th century. Hamburgers appeared on menus in England and the United States in the 19th century, and became a popular food after the 1904 World's Fair.[1][2][3] What is called a hamburger throughout the world today was different than the first German hamburgers; German dishes often involved a steak or sausage between pieces of bread instead of ground meat.
Many fast food restaurants, such as Burger King, Wendy's and McDonald's, serve hamburgers.
A cheeseburger is a hamburger that also has cheese. Hamburgers can be served with other things besides cheese, such as chili.
