What animal’s meat is traditionally used to make hamburgers?

Answer 1

Pig

The word "Hamburger" comes from Hamburg, Germany. In Germany, local traditional snacks are often named after the place of origin, like the Frankfurter (also known as a hotdog), the Berliner (a jam doughnut) or Thüringer (Bratwurst). In Hamburg it was common to put a piece of roast pork into a roll, called Rundstück warm, although this is missing the "essence" of the modern hamburger, which is ground meat. However, another theory states that in Hamburg, meatscraps similar to modern ground beef were served on a Brötchen,[3] a round bun-shaped piece of bread. It is said that German immigrants then took the Hamburger to the United States.[3]

The Beef came later.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Despite the "ham" implication of the name, a commercial hamburger usually contains no ham or other pork product. It is made primarily of ground beef, although it may also contain spices and other ingredients (In the 1930s ground liver was sometimes added to the mixture). This is also known as a beef hamburger or a "beefburger." A beef hamburger that contains no other ingredients besides the beef itself is often referred to as an "all beef hamburger" or "all beef patties." Some prepare their patties with egg, bread crumbs, onions or onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, parsley or other ingredients. Hamburgers with thousand island sauce have become popular too. McDonald's Big Mac burger and In-N-Out's burgers are known for having their version of thousand island sauce.
Recent years have seen the increasing popularity of new types of "burgers" in which alternatives to ground beef are used as the primary ingredient. For example, a turkey burger uses ground turkey meat, a chicken burger uses either ground chicken meat or chicken filets. A buffalo burger uses ground meat from a bison and some mix cow and buffalo meat, thus creating a "Beefalo burger" and an ostrich burger is made from ground seasoned ostrich meat. A Bambi burger uses ground venison from deer. [4]
The composition of a hamburger made in a fast food is more complex than the original recipe of meat itself. For example, the partial composition of a McDonald's hamburger is organized as follows:
Beef meat
Water, salt, soy
Sugars: saccharose, dextrose
Emulsifiers: E472e, E471, E481, E300, E516, E262, E210, E327

Answer 2

Beef and Buffalo. Buffalo is leaner meat.
Fillers? Ask McDonalds and others.

I had a 4 1/2 lb. poodle.
She would not eat McDonalds hamburg. Sniffed and walked away.
She did eat Whataburger, Jack in the Box, and Wendys.

Really, I can not think of a package of meat I can buy at the store that is called taco meat. It's usually made from hamburger. But you have to add taco seasoning to it. You will find it with the spice mixes at the store. Oh boy! Good luck
