Have you ever actually eaten a proper "Hamburger" made with pork?
The term 'hamburger' originally derives from Hamburg in Germany where a minced-beef style dish was created.
Sorry Steve, URBAN MYTH, it was first created in Texas, although New York, district of Hamburg has a claim.
Although, if we use plain, grown up English, then it is an English invention by the 4th Earl of Sandwich about 100 years before.
That is actually not clear. The word apparently derives from the city of Hamburg, and there is a claim that the first burger was made there, but there are numerous other claims:

Much as i am unaccustomed to disagreeing with you Hanno, as you have a long and respected record of posting here, in my eyes. The humble Hamburger lays it origins in not one but two american cities. However, if we follow its routes back further, it is born of the humble Sandwich, which all accept is English. A creation of the 4th Earl of Sandwich.
Yes, Yes, I know this was a cut of beef 'Sandwiched' between two slices of bread (see your Wiki, btw) but let us not pick hairs.... Mc Donald's still call it beef, ffs
Having said all that, our royal family is drawn from the House of Hanover,so maybe you win by default.
