A burger, short for hamburger, is widely recognized around the world as a popular type of sandwich made from a ground beef patty served inside a bun, typically with various toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, pickles, ketchup, mustard, and more. It's considered fast food in many countries, though it's also found in various gourmet forms.
While the hamburger originated in the United States, its popularity spread globally, and different cultures have adapted the burger to local tastes. Here are some common variations or regional names associated with burgers worldwide:
Global Names and Variations:
United States: "Burger" or "Hamburger" – This is the most common name worldwide, originating from the hamburger patty (which was named after Hamburg, Germany), but it can be made from various types of meat beyond beef, such as chicken, turkey, or even plant-based options like veggie or Impossible burgers.
Germany: The original concept comes from Hamburg, where it was referred to as the "Hamburg steak" before being popularized in America. In Germany, it might still be called Frikadelle or Buletten, though this can be a slightly different form, often served with different condiments and as a meatball-like patty.
Japan: In Japan, a burger is often called a "ハンバーガー" (hanbāgā), which is simply a katakana transliteration of "hamburger." Japan also has a unique take with the Teriyaki Burger or Katsu Burger, where the patty can be topped with teriyaki sauce or breaded pork (katsu).
United Kingdom: While still commonly called a "burger," in the UK, the term "burger" might also refer to a beef patty used in a sandwich. Sometimes, people refer to fast-food chains as serving beefburgers, distinguishing them from other types of burgers like chicken burgers.
Australia: Known as a "burger" or "hamburger" as well, but the Australian burger often comes with unique toppings like pineapple, beetroot, or even fried eggs, offering a local twist to the American classic.
India: A "burger" is also very popular here, but since beef is generally not consumed due to religious reasons, chicken, paneer (Indian cheese), or vegetable patties are often used as alternatives. The Aloo Tikki Burger (a potato patty) is particularly common.
South Korea: The burger is also known by the same name, "버거" (beogeo), and South Korea has seen a surge in burger consumption, with local fast-food chains offering burgers with ingredients like kimchi and bulgogi (marinated beef).
Mexico: Burgers are very popular and often called "hamburguesa". They might be served with extra toppings like jalapeños, avocado, or salsa.
Regional and Local Variations
Brazil: X-Burger – In Brazil, the "X" refers to "cheese" (from the Portuguese word for cheese "queijo"), so an X-Burger typically includes cheese as a key component. It's a popular variation in local fast food.
Middle East: In many Middle Eastern countries, burgers are widely enjoyed, but you might find lamb burgers or burgers served in flatbread instead of a traditional bun, with toppings like hummus, tabbouleh, or pickles.
Sweden: The "hamburgare" in Sweden is typically served in a bun, but "köttbullar", the Swedish meatballs, often lead to a more specific interpretation of the meat used in burgers.
While burgers are called different names or prepared with different ingredients depending on the region, their essence as a quick, hearty sandwich with a meat patty inside a bun is universal. In almost every corner of the globe, you’ll find some variation of the beloved burger, making it one of the most recognized and versatile foods in the world.
