A hamburger popularly known as burger is a sandwich consisting of one or more cooked patties of ground meat, usually beef, placed inside a sliced bread roll or bun. The patty may be pan fried, grilled or flame broiled. Hamburgers are often served with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, bacon or chiles; with various supplements such as ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, relish or special sauce; and are frequently placed on sesame seed buns. A hamburger topped with cheese is called a cheeseburger.
Burger can also be applied to the meat patty on its own, most especially in the UK, where the term “patty” is rarely used, or the term can even refer simply to ground beef. Burgers are always prefixed with the type of meat used in its preparation like beef burger, turkey burger, bison burger, veggie burger, slam burger, just to mention a few.
Burgers are sold at fast food restaurants, diners and specialty and high-end restaurants (where burgers may sell for several times the cost of a fast-food burger, but may be one of the cheaper options on the menu). There are many international and regional variations of the hamburger.
