Lamburger, hamburger and ground beef.?

Question

When I was a child in the 1950 there were many more options to ground beef. I was wondering if there were any butchers around from that era who would have a recipe for either. I know the answer the FDA gives for the difference between ground beef and hamburger being the addition of fat and or seasonings but seem to remember it differently.

Answer 1

It depends where you shop.
There are fat content stipulations now for ground meats.
e.g. lean, medium, etc.
Hamburger patties can contain fillers, like oatmeal, etc.

Answer 2

You can still get ground pork and lamb, and of course turkey. The FDA guidelines on beef just apply to the fat content for labelling lean, extra lean, etc.
