1206-1227 - Genghis Khan (1167–1227), crowned the "emperor of all emperors," and his army of fierce Mongol horsemen, known as the "Golden Horde," conquered two thirds of the then known world. The Mongols were a fast-moving, cavalry-based army that rode small sturdy ponies. They stayed in their saddles for long period of time, sometimes days without ever dismounting. They had little opportunity to stop and build a fire for their meal.
The entire village would follow behind the army on great wheeled carts called "yurts," leading huge herds of sheep, goats, oxen, and horses. Ground or chopped meat was handy for the soldiers, as they needed something which they could eat by hand while riding. They would use scrapings of lamb or mutton which were formed into flat patties. They softened the meat by placing them under the saddles of their horses while riding into battle. When it was time to eat, the meat would be eaten raw, having been tenderized by being pressed between the saddle and the back of the horse.
burger? Supposedly this was the first origin of the hamburger, by guess who? the ultimate warrior ever GHANGIS KHAN.
to move on.. hamburgers have become so redundant and over manufactured nowadays, what happened to gold ol' milk bars? like aussie bobs in nelson bay? no more true milk bars serving a gold ol' burger full of condiments like beetroot :D
actually, also my mission is to find the BEST cheeseburger in town, but hamburger is top priority.
BEST places i have tried are grill'd and the counter
which i have both found through this blog, http://grabyourfork.blogspot.com/

BUT my i will be relentless in my mission to find a precious little store in the streets of sydney for the best hamburger. ONE DAY>>
