For instance, legend has it that the American hamburger had its humble beginning from Jewish immigrants who sailed the Hamburg line in the 1850s and combined their preserved, smoked meat with soaked breadcrumbs and onion. Over time, we adapted this into a broiled patty on a sliced bun.
And is it possible that strawberry shortcake may be the delicious result of Native Americans showing colonists how to bake indigenous strawberries into cornbread?
