called Hamburg. They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw

them e  5   round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand

the question and answered, 66We come from Hamburg. " One of these Americans owned a restaurant,

     He cooked some round pieces of beef like those w  6   the men from Hamburg ate. Then he put

each between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called "hamburgers".
