Philothea Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 In Ohio, it was ground beef or ground chuck depending on quality. Here in the Boston arear (he he) they say hamburg. They also call the sandwich a hamburg too. Can I just say that this annoys me so much? I have trained my husband to say it with less frequently though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizzyBee Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Growing up on a beef farm in rural western Maryland, we just called it hamburger. Since then, I've lived in Baltimore, Florida, Okinawa, and North Carolina. I usually call it ground beef now, but I've also heard "hamburger meat" quite a bit.

nukeswife Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I grew up in the Milwaukee WI area and it hamburger there, no matter what the cut. My dh is from IA and he also calls it hamburger. Although we don't agree on the Soda or Pop thing. To me it's soda, to him Pop. Don't even get me started on the Drinking Fountain or Bubbler thing as I know that's something only found where I'm from. The first time I told Dh I was going to get a drink from the Bubbler, he looked at me like I had grown a second head :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liz CA Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 the ground meat that you use to make hamburgers? And with your answer, could you also say where you grew up? I promise this is not a trick question. ;) I just didn't know before I moved to MA that there was more than one way to say this, and I'm wondering what other regional variations there are. nt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*anj* Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 In CA it's been ground beef. Where I grew up it's Hackfleisch. (nt) This is the reason that I love the German language.

JumpedIntoTheDeepEndFirst Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I grew up in Michigan calling it either hamburger or ground beef. If you actually stood in a proper butcher shop (back then we had those) you might need to specify if you wanted a leaner cut (ie ground round or chuck). Of course I always thought the ground pork looked cooler because the shaped the tray of meat to look like a pig. I guess you can sculpt in many mediums. :001_smile: Now that I live overseas I have to not only specify what animal I want my ground meat to come from but frequently I also need to order the percentage of fat to be included.

Melanie in WI Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Hamburger and you drink it with a coke (generic name for any sort of soft drink). Grew up in WI but my parents are from KY/IN. :001_smile: I also grew up in Indiana and called it hamburger and drank with a coke. Here in Wisconsin it is usually called ground beef although we usually eat ground goat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
