I didn't have one person (well, of the three who responded) get the "hamburg barbecue" quiz wrong. Of course, that's the correct answer - hamburg barbecue - if you're a Yorker.
Megan says her husband (Hi, Neil!) gets totally frustrated and says there's no such thing as "hamburg."
Joe says he guessed hamburg barbecue as well, and in addition, weighed in that though you might have a slightly different recipe for an official "sloppy Joe" than for "barbecue," they end up basically the same.
And Dan, who I cornered about this lovely food while we were treadmill-power-walking, says it's definitely "hamburg" barbecue - or maybe just "barbecue." Then, you add "pork" if it's pork barbecue or "chicken" if it's chicken barbecue. But barbecue alone is, of course, hamburg(er).
Surprisingly, my favorite Yorkism-er, Jo, didn't vote. Where are you, Jo?! (Oh, Hubby didn't vote either, but him, I can kick.)
Ok, so I just subscribed to your blog today....and thus didn't get to read the first one on this topic....but I have to say, it's Sloppy Joe. That's what us Missourian's call it!! :-)
So,lucky me. Poor husband. I don't get kicked!
For those who are adamant about the sandwich being called "hamburg" barbecue, how come supermarkets call it "ground beef?" Why isn't the sandwich, therefore, called ground beef barbecue? Maybe it could be called ground beefecue. And for Dan--supermarkets sell "ground chicken" and "ground turkey" and even "ground pork." Now what will you call it? Or put them all together and make a meat loaf and be done with it.
That's not a hamburg barbecue, that's a Sloppy Joe. Yum.
