Gridiron - the game lasts more than 3 hours, but the ball is in play for an average of 11 minutes. What kind of game is that?
This is much more fun since the poster who keeps calling me grumpy forked off.![]()
Louis Lassen
Although debunked by the Washington Post,[9] a popular myth recorded by Connecticut Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro stated the first hamburger served in America was by Louis Lassen, a Danish immigrant, after he opened Louis' Lunch in New Haven in 1895.[14]Louis' Lunch, a small lunch wagon in New Haven, Connecticut, is said to have sold the first hamburger and steak sandwich in the U.S. in 1900.[15][16][17]New York Magazine states that "The dish actually had no name until some rowdy sailors from Hamburg named the meat on a bun after themselves years later", noting also that this claim is subject to dispute.[18] A customer ordered a quick hot meal and Louis was out of steaks. Taking ground beef trimmings, Louis made a patty and grilled it, putting it between two slices of toast.[11] Some critics like Josh Ozersky, a food editor for New York Magazine, claim that this sandwich was not a hamburger because the bread was toasted.[19]

For once, I haven't got an opinion
You may not realise it, but ‘most every other poster here can tell. Wether you wanna call it retirement, a gap year or just between jobs because you’re getting to that age it’s clearly having a deleterious effect on your mental health and well being.
Reach out to someone, admitting you have a problem is not a weakness.

I made me a lovely minced beef sandwich last night.
Our American friends sure know a good butty!
^^ As an interesting aside, Cary Grant was born in Horfield Bristol.
Kellaway Avenue, to be precise. The same road that I once lived on and owned a house... the sale of which financed 'my' place in Korat.
Not the most astute financial decision I've made, tbh...
But to keep this on topic, I had a burger in my SHA hotel last night.
