Hamburger

Read a short passage about how a simple sandwich of beef and bread became a global favorite.

1.1

A hamburger is a popular food. It has a beef patty. A patty is a flat and round piece of cooked meat. This patty goes between a round bread called a bun. Hamburger usually has toppings like cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, and sauces like ketchup or mustard. Everyone can add their favorite toppings.

الهامبرغر هو طعام شعبي. يحتوي على قطعة لحم بقري. القطعة هي قطعة مسطحة ومستديرة من اللحم المطبوخ. توضع هذه القطعة بين خبز مستدير يسمى كعكة. عادةً ما يحتوي الهامبرغر على طبقات مثل الجبن والخس والطماطم والبصل وصلصات مثل الكاتشب أو الخردل. يمكن للجميع إضافة طبقاتهم المفضلة.

1.2

The word "hamburger" comes from Hamburg, a city in Germany. A long time ago, people there made a meal with ground beef and called it a Hamburg steak. Some Germans brought this food idea to the United States when they moved there.

كلمة "هامبورجر" تأتي من هامبورغ، مدينة في ألمانيا. منذ وقت طويل، كان الناس هناك يصنعون وجبة من اللحم المفروم ويسمونها شريحة هامبورغ. أحضر بعض الألمان فكرة هذا الطعام إلى الولايات المتحدة عندما انتقلوا إلى هناك.

1.3

In the United States, hamburgers became very popular. They were easy to make and they tasted good. People started to sell them at food stands and small shops. One of the first times they sold hamburgers was at an event in Connecticut in 1900.

في الولايات المتحدة، أصبحت الهامبرغر شائعة جدًا. كانت سهلة التحضير وذات مذاق جيد. بدأ الناس في بيعها في أكشاك الطعام والمتاجر الصغيرة. واحدة من المرات الأولى التي بيع فيها الهامبرغر كانت في حدث في كونيتيكت في عام 1900.

1.4

Fast food restaurants made hamburgers even more popular. These restaurants could make hamburgers quickly and sell them for a low price. Now, people all over the world eat hamburgers.

جعلت مطاعم الوجبات السريعة الهامبرغر أكثر شعبية. يمكن لهذه المطاعم صنع الهامبرغر بسرعة وبيعه بسعر منخفض. الآن، الناس في جميع أنحاء العالم يأكلون الهامبرغر.

1.5

Eating a hamburger at a restaurant is fun. There are many kinds of hamburgers. Some are simple; others have many toppings and special sauces. You can choose what you like.

تناول الهامبرغر في المطعم ممتع. هناك العديد من أنواع الهامبرغر. بعضها بسيط؛ والبعض الآخر يحتوي على العديد من الإضافات والصلصات الخاصة. يمكنك اختيار ما تحب.

1.6

You can also make hamburgers at home. You need ground beef, a bun, and any toppings you like. Cooking a hamburger is easy. You cook the beef on a pan, then put it on the bun, and add your toppings.

يمكنك أيضًا صنع الهامبرغر في المنزل. تحتاج إلى لحم بقري مفروم، كعكة، وأي طبقة تفضلها. طهي الهامبرغر سهل. تقوم بطهي اللحم البقري في مقلاة، ثم تضعه على الكعكة، وتضيف طبقاتك.

1.7

Fun fact: The biggest hamburger ever made weighed more than 1000 kilograms. That is almost the weight of a little car!
