In The Beginning…
We take a look at the enigmatic origins of the world’s most popular meal…the Hamburger!
If you look back a few thousands of years, you’ll find that there are traces of vegetarianism and compassion, Right? From childhood memories, it seems that meat and meat products were widely eaten by all humanity, save for a tiny tribe on the Red Sea islands off the coast of Papua New Guinea.
That tiny tribe lived in what is now called the Kingdom of Tonga. They were the original people of Hamburun and their diet consisted mainly of fish, much of which they took directly from the sea.
Around the 18th century, a tribe called the Philippine Taino moved into the southern part of what is now Thailand. They were followed by another tribe called the Ashindans, which bought land and established themselves as farmers and merchants in the area.
The Malays were among the final immigrant groups to truly settle and become part of the Thai culture. Having come from India and China, they brought with them five spice blends: ginger, coconut, cardamom, galangal and chili pepper. This bookable spice list, which came to be known as the Kula sits in the middle of a bowl filled with chicken curry and vegetables such as carrots, red and yellow pepper, onions and mushrooms.
As Thailand was a land where humans and animals lived harmoniously together, recipes were passed down through generations. But when the foreigners left and the nation was divided into two groups instead of reuniting all of the recipes, another set of powerful antioxidants called antioxidants became prominent. This group of foods included soy, tamarind, couple of main citrus fruits such as grapefruit and orange and a lot more.
The traditional meals, which were only eaten by the royal classes, were BBCC (agoong bay t Southern Paste) and Gokul (fish curry). spicier recipes came from the Northen Indians who came to Thailand four hundred years before.
When the Indians left, they brought with them another tradition called “som tum” which is the pungent smell of sourdough bread soaked in a mixture of beer and spices. This is hugely flavored but rather ill-for-your digestion style.
So with the fusion of these different styles came the idea of Hamburger. This name was already a well known one for German immigrants but over time, the name was made popular by Americans and the idea quickly caught on. Soon, it was a staple food and vital part of American life.
Potato, American, hamburger, they all come from the same root–Hamburger. But the name has a twist as well. In Austria, it is called a kmf hamburg; in mainland Germany it isOrdnung. kmf, kef, and nung are the same in German. So theAustrians are not so unusual when they say, hamburgers. Of course, when the food is named as such, you should know what it is.
The first Kampagne was made in 1534, made from fresh beef, barley, breadcrumbs, onions, and spices. Can you believe that such a simple food can make such a splash? It was such a success that itinspired the whole town to throw a party to show off their new food. And of course, there was a problem. The party was calling for a Wenkels steak. You just couldn’t have a steak without also calling it a hamburger. There was just no way around it. The social situation at that time was acorn. The rising cost of the day, the fact that men were now getting married at fifteen, and the fact that many expensive gifts were now possible to give to one person, meant that more and more people were going gourmet. And of course, there was automatically a vast increase in the amount of cooking classes, which meant that more and more classes were had to be held to teach people about this wonderful thing called ‘Hamburg’.
The ‘anners’ had it right, food was no longer just something to enjoy, it was time for etiquette lessons. This is because it was considered a symbol of aristocracy and chivalry. Top of theperature courses were offered only for the cream that wasimmaterial, as was the butter and oil used in the rest of the meal.
Despite the fact that more and more classes were held to promote dining etiquette, none of the organizers were Todd heroes. talmadge had to settle for serving as the Condiment Squid and Fish in one of the few commercials he starred in. He got the part because his character was the only one who didn’t have special effects.
