Hamburgers
The first instances of hamburgers can be traced back to the 13th century, when Mongol horse riders carried patties of minced meat under the saddle to eat raw without dismounting.
Even if hamburgers were probably invented in Germany, in fact the word Hamburger is German and means from Hamburg, they appeared for the first time in the form we know today on menus in England and the USA in the 19th century.
In the present day, a hamburger is a kind of sandwich consisting of a patty of ground meat between two slices of bread or in a bun. A hamburger is normally served with toppings such as tomatoes, onions, salad and cheese, and dips, typically ketchup, mayonnaise or mustard.

Hot Dogs
Hot dogs or hotdogs first appeared in England and then spread in the USA and throughout the world. A hot dog is a special sausage called frankfurter, served in a bun. Hot dogs can be boiled, grilled or fried and spiced up with ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, cheese, onions, pickles or hot sauce.
You can buy a hot dog from a fast food restaurant like MacDonald's or Burger King and eat it on the premises or take it away, or from a fast food cart and eat it on the go.
Some people believe that hot dogs were once made from dog’s meat, hence the name, but today the most common type of hot dogs is made from beef and pork, although mostly from the remains of these animals: skin, lips, mouth, nose, fat and organs.
