The history of the paddy..
In the 13th century, Nomadic horsemen known as Tartars are said
to have placed meat under the saddles of their horses to tenderise
the meat before they scraped it back together, seasoned it and ate
it raw. The ‘Steak Tartare’ recipe was brought to Hamburg by German
traders — except they preferred to cook the mixture.
Legend has it that the meat recipe was brought to the USA by
German immigrants. But the battle for the credit for the first burger
served in a bun is keenly fought in the USA. The contenders include
brothers from Ohio who sold food at Midwest fairs; a Connecticut
luncheonette owner, and Texan Fletch Davis who offered the hamburger
steak sandwich topped with onion as a special to his customers at the
1904 St Louis World Fair.
