Hamburgers are also American despite being named after a place in Germany
Cheeseburgers are named after the German city of Cheeseburg.
Oh? I thought it was from Cheesebaden.
Big Macs are named after Bernie "Big" Mac
Hawaiian pizza was not invented in Hawaii, but Canada.
Also Turkey (the bird) has to be the most hilariously named bird. Different languages attribute the bird to a different location.

Snippet:
Fun!

The explanation ive heard as to why its called a turkey in English is cause the Turks took a liking to it early on and the association just kinda stuck.
Little known fact, hamburgers are served with a slice of ham 🙂
Mmmmm, steamed hams!
Steamed clams?
Disappointed that it’s not a type of burger made of ham tbh
They started life as the hamburg steak, which was brought to the US by Germans.
So basically Americans or even German American immigrants went "this would be better as a sandwhich" and it stuck.
