hamburger
1610s, "native of Hamburg;" the meat product so called from 1884, hamburg steak, named for the German city of Hamburg, though no certain connection has ever been put forth, and there may not be one unless it be that Hamburg was a major port of departure for German immigrants to United States. Meaning "a sandwich consisting of a bun and a patty of grilled hamburger meat" attested by 1912. Shortened form burger attested from 1939; beefburger was attempted 1940, in an attempt to make the main ingredient more explicit, after the -burger had taken on a life of its own as a suffix (cf. cheeseburger, first attested 1938). The -burg is Ger. Burg "fort," in reference to the moated castle built there c.825; the first element is perhaps O.H.G. hamma "ham, back of the knee" in a transferred sense of "bend, angle," with reference to its position on a river bend promontory, or M.H.G. hamme "enclosed area of pastureland."
Therefore, a "hamburger" can be an "enclosed area of pastureland" with a "fort", and that can be a very vegan place indeed!

You have to have a soft, fresh bun, a slice of onion, pickle chips, yellow mustard and ketchup too

Interesting that you grind dry beans and rice, then just add boiling water to make the patties
