Despite the fact they are obviously grilled?
Maybe they had a place that did their burgers like white castle. The meat is cooked on top of onions so it is technically steamed rather than grilled.
Is it ham? No, it’s beef. Is it steamed? No, it’s grilled. So then, what do you call it? Steamed ham.
Because it’s an Albany expression.
It also tastes quite similar to Krusty Burgers.
Is it ham?
Yes, it’s a hamburger steak sandwich. Ham for short!
Is it steamed?
Yes, it’s steamed over onions, slider style.
So then, what do you call it?
A waste of my time and yours.
that’s what i call hamburgers
May I see it?
No.
I think people are missing the Simpsons reference.
My guess is yes, on account of me living in the Capital District for two decades and never heard hamburgers referred to as steamed ham. I rarely watch the Simpson’s, so it all makes sense now.
Nah, I refuse to believe that people who live in this county are like, “Hey buddy, want to stop by Wedny’s for a steamed ham?” Get real, they watch the same commercials as the rest of us.
But it’s true! I saw it in a documentary: https://youtube.com/watch?v=4jXEuIHY9ic
I thought you said this map would be about steamed clams?
aurora borealis?
At this time of year?
Localized entirely within your kitchen?
In this Lemmy community?
Cross post this to dataisbeautiful.
So not in Utica, then?
no it’s an Albany expression
Believe it or not, there’s actually places in the US where it’s called a hamburg and others were it’s called a burger. There’s more regional variation than you’d think, but I realize this is just a Simpsons joke.
Well, Lemmy, I made it- despite your directions
Ooah, Supercommenter Shardikprime, welcome. I hope you are ready for an unforgettable federation.

They are neither ham nor steamed, unless that’s exactly what they are having over there? Wouldn’t compare it to a hamburger though…
It’s an old family recipe, patented skinnerburgers
For steamed hams?
yes.
White Castle is steamed.
Why do they call it hamburger when it’s a beef burger?
Because it’s an evolution of the Hamburg steak, which was named for the city of Hamburg.
Also: doesn’t the word “burger” stem from the word “hamburger”?
No, no, it stems from hambourgeois!
Yep.
Hamburg > Hamburger
Frankfurt > Frankfurter
Because you ham in the burger out hot eat the burger
Are you having an aneurysm
