hamburger
ham ber ger
- n a sandwich consisting of a fried cake of minced beef served on a bun, often with other ingredients
- n beef that has been ground
- But Walter Mondale's repetition of a hamburger chain's advertising slogan, "Where's the beef?," has proved a remarkably successful political putdown.
- A hamburger consisted of two buns and a patty of ground meat, and a cheeseburger was a hamburger plus cheese.
- The result is a surprisingly low-impact hamburger, since grass doesn't need chemical fertilizer to grow and its presence helps prevent soil erosion.
