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.
I have fond memories of reading The Perfect Hamburger many years ago. I wonder if it has stood the test of time? Who knew there were non fiction books about Hamburgers - amazing.
