ham·burg [ hám bùrg ] (plural ham·burgs)


noun 
Definition:
 
regional food 
Same as  hamburger


[Late 19th century. Shortening]

Regional History

The term hamburg is used in New England and the North Central States, as far west as Michigan. The Northern usage contrasts with the general-currency terms hamburger and hamburger steak used elsewhere in the United States. And in the North, especially among the young, the hamburg forms are less frequent than the primary American terms.
