In the United States, about 8 billion hamburgers are consumed every year. Hamburgers, also known as hamburger patties, can be traced back to the time when Tatars ate raw meat slices. After many twists and turns, sliced raw meat spread to Hamburg, West Germany, where chefs cooked it carefully and became a famous local snack. Because it is very convenient to eat, it was first spread among dockers, and then spread to all parts of the world by sailors, and was officially named Hamburg. At present, all countries have their own unique methods of making and eating hamburgers, but in general, they all take ground meat as the main body, plus onions, potatoes, carrots, oil, spices, salt, bread crumbs and so on; Make thick cakes, fry them, and fry them. Hamburgers are generally produced on a large scale. Hamburger production in the United States is automatically controlled. Both the storage and sale of hamburgers need to be frozen.

White peeled bread slices, accompanied by bright cabbage, especially stimulate people's appetite. Sandwich was originally a little-known town in southeast England. It became famous in 1700 because of the fourth generation earl of sandwich in England, which has been known throughout the ages. The count likes gambling and plays bridge to the point where he forgets to eat and sleep. In order to cater to him, the chef put meat, eggs and vegetables in slices of bread for him to eat and play with. Because this kind of food is simple to make and delicious, it spreads quickly. Because it originated from the place where sandwiches are made, people simply call it "sandwiches". There are many kinds of sandwiches, all of which are determined by the content. The main varieties are: first, sandwiches, that is, sandwiches with two pieces of bread and meat or eggs and vegetables; The second is a single sandwich, that is, a sandwich with meat or eggs and vegetables in a piece of bread; Third, roll sandwiches, that is, fold the stuffed slices of bread in half and roll them up; Fourth, ribbon sandwiches, that is, sandwiches in groups of three. Because this kind of sandwich often needs to be baked before eating, it is also called baked sandwich. When making sandwiches, rectangular bread is usually used. After peeling, the bread is cut into rectangles or triangles with a thickness of 5-8 mm, and the sliced bread rolled into sandwiches is cut thinner, about 4 mm thick. Sandwiches are rich in fillings, including meat, eggs, cheese, fruit and so on. All plates sandwiched between slices of bread should be kept flat. The regulation is about 3 to 4 mm-in order to prevent the moisture of dishes from infiltrating into the bread layer and affecting the flavor of the bread itself, a thin layer of butter should be deeply coated on the bread slice. In recent years, the lunch of foreigners tends to be simple, and sandwiches are often regarded as delicious food. Sandwiches are sold by vending machines.

The founder of this famous food is Harlan Saunders, who was born in Kentucky from 65438 to 0890. When he was working in a gas station, he opened a fast food restaurant, cooked some food every day and sold it to several people, which was quite famous in the local area. In 1930s, in recognition of his contribution to the catering industry in his hometown, the Governor of Kentucky awarded him the honorary title of Colonel Kentucky.

In recent years, it has also been introduced to China, and it is sold in western restaurants in big cities such as Hongkong, Guangzhou, Tianjin and Shanghai. Why is it called "hot dog"? Opinions vary. There is a saying that; A long time ago, a duke in Germany had a pet dog. Dog-like sausage, thin and beautiful. Later, people called bread and sausage hot dogs. Others say that the name of hot dogs may have something to do with westerners' love of dogs. Westerners (especially British people) like dogs and sausage bread (that is, hot dogs). So people pay J to associate and call their favorite food by the name of their favorite animal. The third argument is that Anton Boutevin, a German in new york, used soft bread instead of wrapping paper when he set up a stall to sell fried wieners. On the one hand, he avoids burning his hands; on the other hand, he can eat soft bread. In order to attract customers, the vendor asked a cartoonist in The New York Times to draw a cartoon for his food, which matched the "hot dog". True or not, one thing is certain: a hot dog is sausage bread. Sausages in hot dogs are made of minced pork and minced beef with spices, poured into sheep casings or small-caliber pig casings to make small sausages with a length of 10 cm from left to right, marinated in potassium nitrate to light red, scalded in boiling water and slightly smoked. When sold, sausages are soaked in special flour paste and then fried in oil. Bread with sausage is preheated on an aluminum tube in advance, then the sausage is placed on it and mustard or ketchup is added.

When a plate of hot pie is served on the table and cut with a knife and fork, the overflowing aroma makes people drool.

However, Japanese people especially like traditional hot noodles. There are long queues in front of all the restaurants operating in Regan Noodles every day. When Ando saw this scene, he had a plan: so many people like to eat hot noodles, why don't I engage in the noodle business? He is determined to design a noodle with his own flavor, which can be eaten with boiling water. Despite the cynicism of others, he persisted. After more than three years of repeated experiments, he took the first batch of chicken instant noodles to the market for trial sale on August 1958. At first, wholesalers regarded it as a fashionable thing and stayed away from it. Later, a supermarket sold it as a strange product.

The annual sales volume of instant noodles in Japan has reached 5 1 100 million packs.
