Despite the fact they are obviously grilled?

Maybe they had a place that did their burgers like white castle. The meat is cooked on top of onions so it is technically steamed rather than grilled.

Is it ham? No, it's beef. Is it steamed? No, it's grilled. So then, what do you call it? Steamed ham.

Is it ham?

Yes, it's a hamburger steak sandwich. Ham for short!

Is it steamed?

Yes, it's steamed over onions, slider style.

So then, what do you call it?

A waste of my time and yours.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Because it's an Albany expression.

It also tastes quite similar to Krusty Burgers.

I think people are missing the Simpsons reference.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

My guess is yes, on account of me living in the Capital District for two decades and never heard hamburgers referred to as steamed ham. I rarely watch the Simpson's, so it all makes sense now.

Well, Lemmy, I made it- despite your directions

They are neither ham nor steamed, unless that's exactly what they are having over there? Wouldn't compare it to a hamburger though... (A hamburger being a Hamburg steak, as in the German city)

It's an old family recipe, patented skinnerburgers

So you call them steamed hams, despite the fact they are obviously grilled.
