The first hamburger was German. It was named after the German town Hamburg.
In the 19th century a lot of immigrants went to the USA from Hamburg. It was a long journey
by ship. One day they made a sandwich with bread and meat. People called it “Hamburg
steak”.
In the USA these immigrants worked very hard. Sometimes they stopped for a quick snack.
They put meat between a roll of bread. This snack became very popular and people called it
“hamburger”.
Then, in 1920s, new “hamburger” opened. The first was the White Castle and then
McDonald’s opened in 1940.

The history of chocolate in Europe
In the 15th century a Spanish explorer called Cortez discovered Mexico. When he arrived in
Mexico people were drinking chocolate.
In Mexico chocolate used to be a drink for rich and important people. It was called ‘chocolati’.
A Mexican king called Montezuma used to drink 50 cups a day. He gave Cortez and his
friends the chocolate drink.
Cortez took this drink back to Spain. It was an expensive drink for rich people, but the people
disliked it, so they added sugar to the drink and they made it hot. Then people everywhere in
Europe began to drink hot chocolate.
In the 19th century an English person made the first chocolate to eat and it became popular.
In 1876 a man in Switzerland was making chocolate one day and he added milk. This
became the first milk chocolate.
