Then you just have a ham sandwich.
If you replace the beef patty in hamburger with a think slice of ham does that make it more or less a hamburger?

What if you ground the ham to make a patty?

Unless it’s in a bun, then it’s a piggler burger, or a hammed pigger, our a pigged burger, right? English can’t be confusing, but no one would misunderstand any of those.

Probably less. The ‘ham’ in hamburger doesn’t refer to the type of meat. But rather, the ‘hamburg’ in hamburger refers to the origin of the creation. Hamburg in Germany. So putting actual ham in a hamburger would a) make it not really a hamburger, and b) be pretty confusing to people.

Correct except hamburgers originated in America, only taking their name from the Hamburg steak, whose connection to the city of Hamburg is dubious at best.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Close. The creation was the Hamburg Steak, it was not originally a sandwich. A hamburger is a hamburg sandwich.

Less of a hamburger, more of a ham burger.

No, that’s just a ham and cheese.

What if it’s ground ham?

I think I once ate a ham hamburger in a berg near Hamburg.

Was there a burg on the berg?

Well, there’s no sand in a sandwich, Manwich isn’t a Sweeny Todd product, but a veggiewich is full of veggies. Maybe if you grind the ham and mix a bit of egg and breadcrumb, you could make a hamhambuger, which isn’t more or less, just different.

The no sand in sandwich is only because the FDA actually had clout at one point….
Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
It’s a Newfie-burger.

Just be British and call them beefburgers because that is what they are? Except when visiting McDonald’s then they are hamburgers…

Since the name of the recipe if from the town of Hamburg, I guess it makes it a hamburger with ham
cattywampas@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Less. A hamburger is a descendent of the Hamburg steak which is a ground beef patty. It’s got nothing to do with ham.

Does that mean porcelain isn’t for pork either?

Porc is the insurance branch of Pork, which isn’t allowed to do business claiming it performs porking services.
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
But what does that have to do with Hamburg?
cattywampas@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Funny enough, no one knows. It’s quite possible it comes from Hamburg or maybe was popularized in America by immigrants from there, but no conclusive link is known.
xylogx@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
That may be the origin but the term has its own meaning and usage today. You can have a veggie-burger or a turkey-burger or salmon-burger. Why not the same construction with ham? A Ham-burger?
cattywampas@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Because it’s too close so it would be confusing. You order a veggie burger or a turkey burger and you know what you’re getting. You order a hamburger and get ham, you’re likely gonna be confused.
