It probably should be called a beef burger, but it's because of where it originated from, Hamburg, Germany. It's the hot dog that I wonder about. I wonder why a hot dog is called a hot "dog" but it contains no dog.

The idea of chopping meat, forming it into a patty and cooking it originated in Hamburg, Germany. Hence, the Hamburger.

Because it supposedly originated in Hamburg, Germany. Just like the "Sandwich" was invented by the Earl of Sandwich.

The guy who invented it was actually selling meatballs OR not selling meat balls so he flattened the ball out and placed it between 2 pieces of bread and for some reason called them HAMburgers.

Alexander Ham invented the hamburger in 1912, an innovative and brilliant american inventor and amatuer chef. Several years later, he invented Spam.
