Hamburgers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The word "Hamburger" comes from a place called Hamburg in Germany, Hamburger refers to the cooked patty of ground meat (usually beef) and they may contain spices and other ingredients. Hamburgers are also known like "burgers" have now become generic, and may refer to sandwiches that have ground meat, chicken, fish (or even vegetarian) fillings other than a beef patty, but share the characteristic round bun.
Hamburgers or burgers are known to everybody, they are usually a feature of fast food restaurants aroud the world, they are in places such as “Burger King” (known as Hungry Jacks in Australia), Kentucky fried chicken,Wendy's,White Castle,Krystal and McDonald's is the world's largest chain of fast-food restaurants.
Recent years have seen the increasing popularity of new types of "burgers" in which alternatives to ground beef are used as the primary ingredient, for example, a turkey burger uses ground turkey meat, a chicken burger uses either ground chicken meat or chicken filets. A buffalo burger uses ground meat from a bison and some mix cow and buffalo meat, thus creating a "Beefalo burger" and an ostrich burger is made from ground seasoned ostrich meat, a “Bambi burger” uses ground venison from deer and “Octoburger”, containing octopus, appeared the following year. Now the Veggie Burgers use a meat substitute as “tofu” (it is a food of Chinese origin, made by coagulating soy milk),or “TVP” (it is made from defatted soy flour, a by-product of making soybean oil. It is quick to cook, high in protein, and low in fat.).These Veggie Burgers are usually lower in saturated fat or calories than traditional hamburgers and they have become more popular among fastfood restaurants, appealing to vegetarians.
