28th May Hamburger Day

The hamburger owes its name to the city of Hamburg in Germany, but the hamburger is known and loved today worldwide.It is usually some variation of  a meat patty wedged inside a bun with salad and if you live in Australia the salad will probably include beetroot!

You shouldn't really eat a hamburger and read at the same time because a good hamburger drips and makes your hands messy, but some time on this day why not read a book that features this wonderfully transportable food.

Start with 

• Burger Boy by Alan Durant and Mei Matsuoka

Then find one of these three novels

• The Perfect Hamburger  by Alexander McCall Smith

• Hedgehogs Don't Eat Hamburgers by Vivian French

• Stick Dog by Tom Watson

And if you want an information book

•  What Happens to a Hamburger?  by Paul Showers and Edward Miller

•  Hamburgers  by Joanne Mattern

Hope you're  now feeling hungry.
