When it comes to hamburgers, many people will instantly think of KFC, McDonald's and Burger King.

Indeed, in the eyes of many people, these fast food restaurants have become synonymous with hamburgers, but you should know that KFC's hamburgers are not real hamburgers.

So, you will see some interesting phenomena:

If you see foreign tourists from Europe and America going to KFC in China, most of them will only order a bunch of original chicken or spicy chicken wings, and will not order any hamburgers.

This behavior seems strange, but there are many interesting secrets hidden behind it.

Next, let's talk about the hidden secrets.

First of all, we should be clear about what a hamburger is:

The word hamburger comes from the word hamburger, which means food made of beef sandwiched in bread.

Attention, the focus is on beef.

Why do you say that? We can give some realistic examples.

McDonald's, we all know, but what is McDonald's signature hamburger?

Yes, it's a Big Mac:

What kind of hamburger is the Big Mac? This is a beef burger.

So McDonald's is a fast food restaurant with hamburgers as the main food.

Let's give another example. Everyone knows about Burger King, right?

Burger King's signature Huangbao is also a beef burger:

The name of Burger King is Burger King, so it is also a fast food restaurant with hamburgers as the main food.

Another example is in-n-out, which is very famous in America.

Their signature burger is also a beef burger:

So this is also a fast food restaurant with hamburgers as the main food.

But what about KFC?

KFC's signature burger is spicy burger, but spicy burger is actually fried chicken leg burger:

In the orthodox sense, only hamburgers made of beef are called hamburgers, so spicy chicken leg hamburgers are not real hamburgers.

Moreover, KFC is not a fast food restaurant based on hamburgers, but a fast food restaurant based on fried chicken.

This is why KFC has original chicken and spicy wings, while McDonald's only has spicy wings.

KFC is not famous for hamburgers, and even it is not a hamburger shop at all.

KFC is famous for fried chicken, but in the eyes of Europeans and Americans, KFC is a fried chicken shop, not a hamburger fast food restaurant.

This can also be witnessed from the origin of KFC name.

KFC = KFC = KFC fried chicken = KFC fried chicken.

We can see from the name that KFC is a fried chicken shop, not a hamburger shop.

Therefore, it is easy for many foreigners to understand that after going to KFC, they only ordered the original chicken, not the hamburger.

In fact, if you go to a western restaurant, you will see that basically all hamburgers are made of beef, like this:

The whole painting style is completely different from KFC's fried chicken burger.

Seeing this, you may find another difference between KFC's hamburger and other hamburgers.

Yes, there is no cheese in KFC hamburgers.

Because the beef in hamburgers is usually roasted, if you add several layers of cheese on it, it will be very satisfying.

But KFC's hamburgers are mainly fried chicken (after all, this is a fried chicken shop), so KFC chose salad dressing instead of cheese to neutralize the taste.

After all, fried food with cheese is too greasy.

Although the combination of fried chicken and salad dressing tastes good, this practice of not adding beef and cheese makes this hamburger lose its dignity.

KFC's hamburger is actually a burger that has lost its dignity. It can be said to be almost an abandoned fortress.

However, this change is not entirely bad, even for us in China, it is actually more suitable for the vast number of China compatriots.

And KFC has done a good job of localization in China. It's very interesting whether it's launching rice or looking for Lu Han to endorse it. More grounded than Burger King (McDonald's also introduced rice)

Generally speaking, hamburgers that are not beef will be called sandwiches, that is, sandwiches.

The concept of hamburger was first popularized by KFC, McDonald's and other fast food restaurants in China. But with the improvement of domestic economic level, everyone's life is getting better and better. Slowly, we will find that hamburger is actually a cultural cash withdrawal, not a cheap fast food.

Hamburgers can be made wild or rough.

But hamburgers are definitely not just fast food hamburgers in KFC and McDonald's.

In many western restaurants, you can taste western-style hamburgers that are closer to foreign tastes, and those hamburgers are more emotional than fast food hamburgers.

Once, hamburgers were synonymous with fast food.

But now, we should try a wilder and rougher hamburger.

Hamburgers should not be just a piece of fried chicken and some salad dressing, but some cheese and thick meat;

———————————— Some people say that McDonald's in foreign countries also have chicken burgers? ————————————

All right.

Let me show you McDonald's overseas official website. Menu classification is very clear:

There are two types:

1. hamburger

2. Chicken and sandwiches

Click on the hamburger, and you will find that it clearly emphasizes that there is only one hamburger, 100% beef:

In the classification of hamburgers, Hamburg's painting style is like this:

Did you get a look at him? It's all beef, no chicken or other meat.

You won't see the so-called chicken burger until you click on the chicken and sandwich category.

In fact, this so-called hamburger is called sandwich abroad, or it is directly called by the type of meat. This is why it appears in the classification of chicken and sandwiches.

Remember: in the cognition of most foreigners, only hamburgers with beef as the main raw material are called hamburgers.

Hamburgers are generally called hamburgers in China only because people have different understandings of hamburgers and sandwiches.

————————————— As for Burger King, you can also say ——————————————————————— by the way.

This is the menu classification of Burger King official website:

All chicken burgers are in the rightmost category:

In fact, this is nothing special, that is, people in different regions have different perceptions of different things.

It is normal that different people have different understandings and definitions of different things.

Can't you say that hamburgers are just two pieces of bread with a piece of meat?

You can also say that only beef is called hamburger.

Both kinds of people are right, but they have different definitions and understandings of Hamburg.

However, one thing is certain:

It's a pity if hamburgers are equal to fast food hamburgers in your cognition.

Many things are for you to live a better life and get in touch with better things.

It's a pity that if you just eat a fast-food hamburger and then express disappointment with it, you won't have a chance to taste a better and more authentic hamburger.
