History of the hamburger: "But before we even start talking about cheese we must trace the history of the plain old Hamburger. This story goes as far back as the 11th Century when the Mongols carried flat patties of meat with them on long horseback trips.

From here it spread to New York and the meat patty became known as a Hamburg Steak or Hamburger"
