Hamburger New

Mia in Germany's Note:

My husband's favourite burger shop - the only burger shop in our little village 35 years ago - still serves this Hamburger called "Hamburger Neu" which means "Hamburger New". Unluckily the owner of the place who invented this fabulous burger has died several years ago. There are new owners who serve the same burger, but it's not quite the same as it used to be, so we decided to make it ourselves. The onions used can be purchased in boxes in Germany. If you don't get them in the US, just fry your own, it's more work but even better I guess ;-)

What a different type of burger for me! First, I didn't have a hamburger patty....just ground chuck. So I wasn't sure how large it was supposed to be and just improvised! Wasn't sure if it was supposed to be seasoned or not, but decided to stick with just salt and pepper because of the curry in the ketchup. My first bite was questionable....so different from anything I've ever had, but by the 3rd bite I was sold. Just had to wrap my head around such a different taste for a burger! LOL! I think this would be really good on Naan bread or Pita bread....I'll give that a go next time. Thanks for sharing! Made for Aussie Reunion Tag.

Excellent burger. I used chili powder instead of the curry (personal preference) and left off the pickled cucumbers as I didn't have any and made my own fried onions and we loved it. This was an excellent burger. thanks for sharing.
