Burger

A burger, short for hamburger, is a type of sandwich consisting typically of a cooked patty of ground meat, usually beef, placed inside a sliced bun or between two pieces of bread. The patty may be grilled, fried, or broiled and can be seasoned or topped with various condiments, sauces, vegetables, and cheese. Common toppings include lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and mayonnaise or ketchup. While traditionally made with beef, burgers can also be made with other types of meat, such as chicken, turkey, or pork, as well as vegetarian and vegan alternatives made from beans, grains, or plant-based ingredients. The burger is known for its versatility, allowing for a wide range of flavor profiles and culinary adaptations worldwide.
