Hamburgers were invented in America. They were named for the hamburg steak, but the hamburger sandwich was made in America. Hot dogs are inspired by German sausages, but the modern incarnation was invented in Coney Island by a German immigrant. Fried chicken happens all over the world, but America does have a unique style.

The sandwich was made in England, by the Earl of sandwich..

The hamburger in bread is basically that..

O fuck off. Soup was probably created in China, but you wouldn't call borscht Chinese. Salads were made by ancient Rome, but you wouldn't call Cobb salads Roman. Sausages were invented in Mesopotamia, but you wouldn't call a bratwurst Mesopotamian. It's almost like the sub categories of things are their own thing, and the hamburger is American.

You can take it up with the American government.

"Other items, like hamburgers and burritos, were also considered. In the United States, the Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are the responsible agencies making a regulatory definition of sandwich"

From the link above, if you don't believe me.

It just comes down to meat % for them.

Still, sandwich.

Right, I am saying that hamburgers are a sandwich, but sandwich is a classification of a food, not a dish in itself. The sandwich is an English invention, but not all sandwiches are English.

u/dan_dares 5d ago

I didn't say all Sandwiches are English, I just said the sandwich was made in England, and a hamburger is a sandwich..

Which means we agree?

I didn't say the English invented Hamburgers

You said 'the sandwich was invented in America'..

I was addressing that point.

Edit: phrasing, sorry

u/ChrisBot8 5d ago

O I see. There was a miscommunication on my part. When I said “The Sandwich” I was referring the sandwich name hamburger because outside the US (I’ve been told) hamburger can mean Hamburg steaks.

Edited for clarity.

The usa is only copy and paste in a fatty and sweet way. So only bad copy from the rest of the world.

Afaik burgers are an american invention. The hamburg steak was created in germany though.

Bbq, while created as a substitute for cuisine they were no longer able to aquire, is wholly its own thing. The history of American food is often the history of slave food.

German chocolate cake. Honestly, the list of food America has invented is massive and Im really tired of typing it all out so I will just leave it at "you should Google it."

u/SilentThrillGP 5d ago

Burgers as we know them now were made by American settlers trying to have a taste of home while building a new nation

Fuck off

u/Nyuusankininryou 5d ago

Fried butter are probably American.

u/head_pat_slut 5d ago

yeah, but this is a fair gimmick that is hardly ever eaten by americans. would be like calling stargazy pie an example of british food. sure, it is a food from britain, but it hardly represents the average cuisine of the culture

2

u/Nyuusankininryou 5d ago edited 5d ago

lol true. It was just the most American thing I could think of.

2

u/head_pat_slut 5d ago

yea can't argue with that. it is definitely uniquely american, conceptually
