The origins of the hamburger

The origins of the hamburger


















Although the burger is probably the most popular type of fast food in the world, surprisingly little is known about their origins. No clear evidence to determine where the idea of ​​grinding meat and serve wine in a pan.

Some argue that in its crudest form the burger was born in medieval times. Mongolia and the Turkish warriors are believed to have put the meat under the saddles on their horses. When mounted the flesh softens and then getting eaten raw.

Today, the hamburger is more widely associated with the U.S.. German immigrants are believed to have imported a dish known as "flesh of Hamburg Style 'which later became a hamburger.

There are several theories about who created the real hamburger as we know it today, these are ...

It is claimed by Wisconsin, which is "The Hamburger House 'through a man named Charles Nasgreen. In 1885 he said he started selling meatballs, but because people found them difficult to control than flat and sold between pieces of bread.

Another theory dates back to 1885 also states that the burger was created by Frank and Charles Menches of Ohio. They were in business selling sausage patty sandwiches at fairs, but then ran out of pork at a fair in Hamburg, New York, which began using ground beef and the dish named after the location of the event.

Finally, most people in Texas are of the view that the credit for creating the burger to go to Fletch Davis' Old Dave. "I just decided to try something new and a steak burger grilled and served raw between two slices of thick toast with a little onion. He began serving the dish and became an instant success, which will create a booth at the St. Louis World's Fair Louisiana Purchase Exposition.

Fletch Davis also thought to be associated with the invention of French fries after they started selling fried potato strips with their burgers. It is rumored that French fries are called, because when you talk to a journalist who said he got the idea of ​​food from a friend in Paris. While Fletch Davis referred to a friend in Paris, Texas, the reporter thought he meant Paris, France, and by what is known as French fries.

It's amazing to think that we know with certainty that one of the most popular foods is the world originated. If you think it's amazing that so many people have claimed to invent the hamburger, look at the history of the cheeseburger. There is a dispute as to who first added a slice of cheese to the burger among the claimants in Denver, Colorado, Louisville, Kentucky, and Pasadena.
