Whats the difference between a hamburger and a beefburger?!
As far as i can tell they are BOTH made from beef!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
The reason for the name difference, was back in WWI (1914-1918) americans attempted to remove any german reference to common items!. Like frankfuter was changed to "hot-dog"!. Hamburger was changed to Beefburger because Hamburgh is a city in Germany!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I can't believe that people believe a hamburger is made from ham! This is a reverse etymology - whereby because a beefburger contains beef, it is assumed that the word hamburger must have a similar origin!. However, it is not true!.
The word 'hamburger' is almost certainly a convenient abbreviation of the term "Hamburger steak"!. In German, the suffix "-er" is often used to denote the concept of belonging (trawling back through my German O'Level from 1984 I think this is the genitive case, but I may be wrong) and "Hamburger" in this therefore means "of Hamburg" or "from Hamburg"!.
It is widely believed that minced beef compressed into a patty was a common dish in northern Germany around the time of mass immigration into the US ( I guess the latter half of the 19th Century) and that immigrants brought the concept of the Hamburger Steak with them when they arrived Stateside!.
As it happens, I have often eaten a delicious German dish called Frikadellen (which I THINK comes from the south of the country, rather than the north)!. Frikadellen are very similar to Hamburgers, except made with a mixture of beef and pork!. They are delicious warm or cold - ideally with a dish of Bratkartoffeln (sauted potatoes - which oddly is the subject of another recent question) and of course a large stein of German beer!
Whatever the origin, I'm glad someone invented them!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

the hamburger originated fron Hamburg in Germany basically they are both the same, we changed the name because of the war and we didn`t want anything to do with German products, just like the German sheperd dog and the Alsation, they are both the same just the name was changed in the warWww@FoodAQ@Com
One of them doesn't sell well in Jerusalem or Tehran!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
They are both burgers!. A beef burger is obviously 100% beef!. A hamburger can be either all beef, or a combination of ground beef, pork, veal, lamb - or whatever else you like as meat combos!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
