Ok I know this is very stupid of me to ask but yet I will ask.
I was out to lunch with my cousin today, we went to a local diner & ordered HAM BURGERS.
~ I was not born in U.S. I'm half Korean & Half Japanese ~
So my question is why is HAM BURGER named HAM BURGER when there is no ham to be found any where in HAM BURGER ?
Can someone please answer this dumb question because it's annoying me.
Once again sorry for this stupid question & sorry to all people who reads this.
But I would really like to know, Thx >biggrin.gif>

I think they started out as hamburgers then swapped to beef or something.

Because they were invented in Hamburg, Germany, and they named them after the city.

Just a guess.

Ja, das stimmt (that's right)! A Hamburger is actually what you would call someone in Hamburg in German. That's where it was invented and that's what it's called.

lol now be nice
I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

>tongue.gif> >tongue.gif> Im just glad, they haven't switched over to using rat as the base ingredient in Hamburgers. When I used to work at MCdonalds..........................
We found some black stuff on our big mac buns one day. I was the grill guy and I figured it was just some burnt sesame seeds or something. I didn't really care.
At night when were cleaning up, I moved the stack bun up and down to rotate them and to my dismay. I found a family of rats. As it turned out, we served 90% of the rat droppings on buns to customers in the form of big macs. this is my story and I am glad I didn't eat any big macs from there on, or on that day afterwards. Rats love Big mac Buns the most!

Actually, in a lot of muslim and hindu countries it is called a "beefburger" so people dont think there is ham in it. Since some religions do not eat cows, they dont want to trick anyone.
