The history of hamburgers

The original hamburger was a meat pie made of ground beef and flour, so it was called beef patties. In ancient times, Tatars had the habit of eating beef raw. As the Tatars moved westward, they were first introduced to the Balkans and then to Germany, and gradually changed from raw food to cooked food.

People in Hamburg, Germany, improved it by kneading chopped beef sauce in flour, spreading it into cakes, frying it and eating it, so they named it "hamburger patties" after the name of the place. From 65438 to 0850, German immigrants brought the cooking technology of hamburger patties to the United States.

1932 Some people put this fried beef patties into steamed buns sprinkled with sesame seeds as staple food or snacks. Later, it was renovated and gradually merged with sandwiches. The beef patties were sandwiched in a steamed stuffed bun that split in two, called Hamburg, which means China steamed stuffed bun.

In the late 20 th century, Americans improved the practice of hamburger steak, and then opened it to fast food restaurants, which is the origin of today's favorite hamburger.

In the1980s, with the popularity of American fast food chains KFC, McDonald's and Dicos in Asia, the Chinese "hamburger" has become synonymous with all sandwiches made of steamed buns.

The practice and ingredients of Asian hamburgers vary from region to region: there are usually cut buns with various ingredients and sauces in the middle. In addition to the most typical beef patties, lettuce, tomato slices, onions and pickles, there are different choices such as pineapple, pork patties and seafood.

On the other hand, hamburgers are still one of the standard recipes in restaurants outside Asia. Many Asians are used to eating hamburgers only in fast food restaurants. It is strange to spend more than ten dollars on a hamburger in a restaurant, because it is not worth it. But westerners regard it as a general dish.

Hamburgers are convenient to eat, delicious and comprehensive in nutrition, and have now become one of the convenient staple foods that sell well in the world. But according to many people who know the foreign food industry, there are two main forms of hamburger food in western countries. One is hot hamburgers sold by fast food chains like McDonald's and KFC. The other is frozen hamburgers, which are sold in the freezer of the food store. Customers buy it home and eat it after microwave heating. Like the packaged hamburger we bought in supermarkets, chain stores or kiosks, it can be said that it is a kind of hamburger food with China characteristics.
