Hakkebuf was cooked in in Denmark in 15th century as patties of beef with salt, pepper dill and other spice and sailors took the recipe to Hamburg where it spread around Germany and german immigrants took it to the USA

But they IMPROVED the recipe and 86'd pouring the stupid hot gravy over a perfectly decent dry American Hamburger, which is enjoyed globally unlike your hacky Boof, which has a very small geographic area very insignificant compared to the global footprint of the American Hamburger.

Perspective, Klaus. 😆

We cannot return to the 15th century to verify the hakkebøf story. But Louis’ Lunch still exists and can still be visited. That does not make every claim automatically true, but it does give the hamburger story something rare: a physical address instead of only a kitchen legend.
