When I was a kid, I watch anime where hamburgers become the main character’s favorite food. After I grew up I realized the restaurant just show a kind of burger on the menu.

Do you think a hamburger is the full name of a burger? Some people think the burger was the short form Hamburger to make it easier to pronounce like veggie for vegetables.

There are also those who think we add Ham- ahead because the burger fills with Ham (Pork Thigh) filling. Actually, I think so formerly. In fact, like cocoa and cacao or green tea and matcha.

Both of them are not synonymous but exist differently.
