Burgers

Now I move onto my second dish. The Burger. A man's meal. For men. Not being sexist or anything... I'll start with its history. German immigrants to North Ameriica brought with them a dish called "Hamburg Style Steak", which consisted of pounded beef. This was the ancestor of the modern burger.

The first burger in America was served in the 1904 St Louis World Fair. This burger was a beef patty on a hard roll. This was the every first time the burger hit the bun. The first company to serve burgers en masse was White Castle in 1921. They were an immediate success. The original patty sold for just 5 cent.

Nowadays the burger is a massive industry worth millions. So next time you eat a burger remember, it's not just a delicious way to pass the time, it's the worlds best selling sandwich and the backbone of the fast-food industry.
