    The problem is that the origin is “hamburger beef” which is the beef patty that came from Germany. This was combined with a sandwich to create a “hamburger sandwich”. Over time, the sandwich part was dropped and now here we are.

      It wasn’t even really a patty as we know it in burgers, it was more like a slice of breakfast sausage.

          I guess that’s true. It’s more the distinction of the paddy being formed by hand or being sliced out of a big roll of sausage.
