Well, that explains the name “hamburger helper”. I’ve been wondering what they had in common with hamburgers besides the ground beef.

Hoimo@ani.social 3 weeks agoHad to look this up, because I’d seen it before but didn’t want to accuse Americans of being crazy without proof:
www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hamburger
1 a: ground beef
1 b: a patty of ground beef
The meme says singular “hamburger”, so it makes sense that they meant it in the ground beef sense. Every other dictionary starts with “a patty of ground beef” by the way, so it seems to be an American peculiarity.

I don’t know what to tell you guys, hamburgers are made of hamburger, and mince sounds gross.

If like to see the reaction of every Italian when they realize bolognese and lasagne are made out of hamburger according to Americans
