Hamburgers and Fries

Hamburgers and fries are a popular fast food combination that originated in the United States. A hamburger is a sandwich consisting of a cooked patty of ground beef, placed between two slices of a bun, and often served with toppings such as lettuce, tomato, cheese, pickles, onions, and condiments like ketchup or mustard. Fries, also known as French fries or chips, are thin strips of deep-fried potatoes, usually served salted and crispy.
