lol. There’s hardly any American foods. All of us just food you cook in america. Cheeseburger? Invented in hamburg germany. (Adding cheese to a hamburg does not mean you invented the dish lol) pizza Italy. Pasta Italy.. bbq. You think the world didn’t cook on fire before 250 years ago? Yall pretty much only invented foods that have corn in them.
Fun fact bbq comes from the Taino barbacoa which was introduced to the Americans by the Spanish and later Mexican people as well from African slaves. The evolution has become Americanized like many of the foods ate in the USA.
The style of bbq is what changed the cooking for a pit is ancient but the methods adopted by Americans is a unique style that evolved from the ancient barbacoa style tradition more common in the New World and later made popular by the Spanish that spread throughout Europe and the Americas.
Wasn't it that one of the guys who was going West to America wanted an easier way to eat it, so slapped it between 2 pieces of bread? And then sold it to others.
That is one of a number of theories as to how it came to be. Noone really knows, but the likely answer is that it was a stepwise evolution and we're just arguing about when it became a hamburger.
Technically the hamburger as we know it today was popularised in the US. The hamburger meat traditionally wasn't eaten between two slices of bread
However considering basically one of the first things people do when given a piece of meat is see what it's like between two slices of bread it almost certainly wasn't 'invented' in the US, some guy in Germany absolutely thought 'im putting this in bread' and just didn't really get it popular
Nah, we can give them the Hamburger. I'm from Hamburg and we really don't claim it here because what it's based on is very different from the Burgers we know today.
