Is it ham? No, it's beef. Is it steamed? No, it's grilled. So then, what do you call it? Steamed ham.
Because it's an Albany expression.
It also tastes quite similar to Krusty Burgers.
that's what i call hamburgers
Is it ham?
Yes, it's a hamburger steak sandwich. Ham for short!
Is it steamed?
Yes, it's steamed over onions, slider style.
So then, what do you call it?
A waste of my time and yours.
Despite the fact they are obviously grilled?
Maybe they had a place that did their burgers like white castle. The meat is cooked on top of onions so it is technically steamed rather than grilled.
First burgers were actually steamed in little trays.
May I see it?
No.
I think people are missing the Simpsons reference.
My guess is yes, on account of me living in the Capital District for two decades and never heard hamburgers referred to as steamed ham. I rarely watch the Simpson's, so it all makes sense now.

aurora borealis?
At this time of year?
Localized entirely within your kitchen?
In this Lemmy community?
I thought you said this map would be about steamed clams?
Believe it or not, there's actually places in the US where it's called a hamburg and others were it's called a burger. There's more regional variation than you'd think, but I realize this is just a Simpsons joke.
So not in Utica, then?
no it's an Albany expression
Why do they call it hamburger when it's a beef burger?
Because it's an evolution of the Hamburg steak, which was named for the city of Hamburg.
Also: doesn't the word "burger" stem from the word "hamburger"?
No, no, it stems from hambourgeois!
Yep.
TIL. For the longest of times I just assumed it was literally ham and never even considered ordering it from a menu!
Because you ham in the burger out hot eat the burger
Are you having an aneurysm

Frankfurt > Frankfurter

I see.
What do they call Krusty's partially gelatinated non dairy gum based beverages?
They are neither ham nor steamed, unless that's exactly what they are having over there? Wouldn't compare it to a hamburger though... (A hamburger being a Hamburg steak, as in the German city)
It's an old family recipe, patented skinnerburgers
For steamed hams?
yes.
So you call them steamed hams, despite the fact they are obviously grilled.
White Castle is steamed.
