HAMBURGER
January 5, 1889 - Walla, Washington, U.S.A.
The word hamburger first appeared in print in the Walla Walla Union, a Walla Walla, Washington, newspaper - according to the date given in the Oxford English Dictionary. The name comes a German food called a hamburg steak, meaning “from Hamburg,” not because it contains ham. In the 19th century, German immigrants migrated to North America, bringing along the recipe for the hamburg steak, a form of pounded beef. American people adopted the hamburg steak, but used the adjective form “hamburger” without “steak” at the end. The word appeared as an entry in the 1902 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica. In 1902, the first description of a hamburg steak close to the American conception of the hamburger, gave a recipe calling for finely chopped beef mixed with onion and pepper.
