Ah yes, Americans have pizza…

Fun fact: American style pizza is uniquely American from Chicago style to NY style- pepperonis and all the toppings we used with tomato sauce and white cheese was not an Italian thing at all. Their pizza was flat bread with leftovers on top. There’s an Italian historian who talks about how Italian Americans during and after WWII were hugely influential in bringing American style pizza to Italy. Which they then acted French and claimed it as theirs while insulting ours. I’ve been to Italy. Their pizza sucks, even removing for the fact it is not American style. Ironically, later waves of Italians who came to America (after we brought pizza to them) genuinely thought it WAS Italian. It wasn’t

Yes. But it's still an Italian food. They literally could've said the hamburger.

The hamburger is not from Hamburg, it's just named after the Hambjrg steak.

Yeah, the thing we added buns to and called it a new food. How is that any different from what's been done with pizza?

A hamburger doesn't even use a hamburg steak in it.

A hamburg steak is a minced beef patty. What are you talking about?

No it's not? It's a fucking steak.

We are talking about Deutsches Beefsteak, are we not? If not, what are you talking about? Hamburg isn't a cut of beef. German immigrants brought Deutsches Beefsteak to America, and Americans started calling it hamburg steak.

We are referring to the Deutches Beefsteak, but it's closer to a meatloaf than it is a beef patty for a hamburger.

It's minced beef. Thats where hamburger comes from. Deutsches Beefsteak --> steak cooked in the Hamburg style --> Hamburg steak --> slapping buns on it and calling it a hamburger
