Nah, I refuse to believe that people who live in this county are like, “Hey buddy, want to stop by Wedny’s for a steamed ham?” Get real, they watch the same commercials as the rest of us.
A lot of us are obsessed with free software and dedicate our entire existence to not doing even the slightest most minor thing that might support corporate corruption and enshitification, not even sit through a 15 second ad.
I don’t even know what burger commercials look like.
But it’s true! I saw it in a documentary: https://youtube.com/watch?v=4jXEuIHY9ic
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)
White Castle is steamed.
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.
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.
Well, Lemmy, I made it- despite your directions
Ooah, Supercommenter Shardikprime, welcome. I hope you are ready for an unforgettable federation.
May I see it?
No.
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.
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.
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.
TIL. For the longest of times I just assumed it was literally ham and never even considered ordering it from a menu!
Also: doesn’t the word “burger” stem from the word “hamburger”?
No, no, it stems from hambourgeois!
Because you ham in the burger out hot eat the burger
Are you having an aneurysm

I thought you said this map would be about steamed clams?
I see.
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.
