Fourth of July – Burgers from the United States

The 4th of July, Independence Day, is the National Day of the United States commemorating the Declaration of its Independence, on July 4, 1776. The Continental Congress declared that the thirteen American colonies were no longer subject (and subordinate) to the monarch of Britain, King George III, and were now united, free, and independent states.

…Americans are expected to eat 150 million hot dogs and spend over $1 billion dollars on fireworks over the long holiday weekend.

The U.S. is a melting pot of cultures as a result of the many immigrants and enslaved people that came here from various other countries across the globe. A significant part of this equation, too, comes from the cultures of Indigenous peoples who lived on the land well before colonization….This country has established several dishes that many consider examples of an “American” food tradition.

The Hamburger is considered by many people as the national dish of the US because of its popularity across all age groups….Regardless of the origin, Americans are hamburger-obsessed. They consume approximately 50 million burgers per year.
