Did you know?
- In some Spanish-speaking countries, a hamburguesa does not have to be beef. The term is often used broadly for any sandwich featuring a ground meat patty, such as turkey or chicken.
- The word hamburguesa is actually a borrowing from English, though it refers back to the city of Hamburg in Germany.
- While English uses the adjective 'double' to modify the whole burger, the Spanish structure hamburguesa con queso doble technically places 'double' next to 'cheese'.
