The hamburger may very well have started as steak tartare in Russia, and then migrated to Hamburg, Germany, where it got its name, but leave it to us Americans to put it in a bun so that you can now eat them while toodling down the road in your automobile.Last month I watched a series of tv programs by Jamie Oliver (I forgot the name of the series) He was touring around Britain and cooking up dishes famous for each area but he explained how they originated somewhere completely different but were just bought in by foreign workers in that area. I never realised that the humble hamburger started off here in Russia

Oh yes! But then I was raised by wolves... If a food is served with top and bottom bread, it should be picked up. It that is inappropriate the restaurant should not serve it that way, it should be open face.
I can count on the fingers of one hand how many times I've eaten in a fancy restaurant in 51 years, and I have enough fingers to have a couple left over. I much prefer the relaxed attitude in less formal settings. I can be cleaned up and presented in classier places and I will act accordingly, but that only lasts until I get the giggles.
I would be fine until I remembered my Dad's stage whisper of, "Don't eat the doilies," from when I was about 7 years old. He didn't care for the robot children act and decided to lighten the mood during dessert.
I'm sort of a purist. If the beef is good, it doesn't need a lot of dressing. A slather of strong mustard is nice. Once in awhile I also like cheese. Sharp cheddar or blue cheese are my favorites with burgers.What's your favorite burger topping Steve?
Last night there was an article on ABC with Diane Sawyer. It was about pink slime. It seems it is now being added to hamburg in supermarkets. I am so glad I grind my own. There is more pink slime than bonafide beef in each package. They showed a package of pink slime hamburger and one without. What a difference. Stop tampering with my food.
If it makes you feel any better, you've inspired me to make pasties sometime this weekend.Sorry I took this thread from pasties to hamburgers btw.

The pasties I long for from my childhood were traditional (aside from the Heinz ketchup we slathered over them ) so I'll start traditional and find my own way from there.Sweet! Good man Steve Are you thinking of going the traditional route or your own filling recipe?
Question. Didn'[t the original pasties have one half veggies and meat and the other half dessert? And the pie crust had a sort of thick handle on one end to protect the food from the coal dust of miners hands? Oh all right. Two questons? Do they still make them that way? Three questions. I get carried away.
It does not mean you have to eat them At least try to behave.......for a few minutes
Have you been to Russia before?
Princess Fi, yes eating a burger with your hands is fine here in the UK, even when eating out, but I can't say that I would ever eat a burger in a "fancy restaurant".
Would you even eat a burger with your hands in a quite fancy restaurant? I know fancy restaurants don't usually serve burgers but would it happen?
Keema pasties were amazing.
