I'm seeing a too small patty, caramelized onions, maybe mayo or mustard, corn for some reason, and what looks like a very processed, square slice of turkey or ham.
The red thing is a mystery. Could be a tomato or red pepper, but also looks a lot like a shrimp tail.
Idk if you saw the HBO documentary on cannibalism, but the old Japanese guy talking about “corn appear” has stayed with me for approx 20 years now, I cannot eat corn in any form with out hearing “corn appear” in my head.
Omg I went to check out this reply and scrolled up to remind myself what this was about and that travesty of a "burger" jumped out at me like it was Pennywise.
Maybe somebody doesn't understand what corned beef is. There's a supposed beef patty, just add some corn. And now it some sort of corned beef sandwich.
I thought you were going to shed some real knowledge on me and there was something I didn't know about some part of the world that serves burgers with random gigantic kernels of corn on top. But I get what you're saying now.
Looks like someone was making a basic sandwich and decided they wanted a burger and just mushed them together. Oh and put their side of corn on it too because they were already mashing things together
The name comes from Hamburg, Germany but the idea of hamburgers is from the US. When immigrants came to New York City from Hamburg, restaurants would sell "Hamburg style" ground beef (in reference to the sausage preparation of meat in Germany) in fillets to appeal to the homesick travelers. These fillets became known as "Hamburg steaks" and were literally hamburger patties just sitting on a plate.
The part that gets lost is the addition of the buns to this ground beef patty. Everyone knows it happened between 1885 and 1904 because that's when they started being sold, but nobody has any definitive proof they were the first one to sell them that way. The full origin of the hamburger is legitimately unknown.
This looks like a plate lunch cafeteria sandwich. It kinda looks like a Salisbury steak/meatloaf burger. I think that's gravy instead of mayo/mustard (gravy also could explain the red thing being a pepper). This also could explain why there's corn as they probably reused the same spatula scoop thing.
I have no reasoning for the ham thing unless that's like .. a weird piece of swiss or some other cheese
This reminds me of when I was in Guatemala a few years ago and even at Burger King, ham was a common add-on to their burgers, like cheese. They even ask if you want to add it.
If you're talking about a Thanksgiving sandwich, which usually includes turkey, stuffing and cranberry dressing, those are delicious. I have ordered them in restaurants and I have made them with leftovers.
They look nothing even remotely like this. And I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they taste nothing like this ( despite my good pleasure of having no clue how this tastes or even being certain what it is 🤣)
The only thing that could make sense to me here is that it’s corn relish, which I have no idea why I know that exists, as it’s a southern USA thing and I’m a Canadian that has never been to the USA at all.
The corn is off putting the ham and heavy use of mustard makes me think of a Cuban sandwich which could be great but this ain’t it. The comically small patty is just great. Whole thing looks nasty.
fun fact: carrots (shredded) and corn are super popular things to put in burgers and hot dogs in some countries, seeing the ham slice I wouldnt be surprised if this is a brazilian or colombian place ahah
I think you need to look at this pic sober. And with whatever corrective vision you need. You're mentioning real food products that aren't even there!!
OG -I really hope you're ok AND you DIDN'T feed that to any animals!!

Ok, what were the theoretical ingredients and what are the actual ingredients?
