    Sometimes a patty alone served on a plate will be called a hamburg(er) steak, but they’re not very common. I can’t remember the last time I saw that on a menu. Which country has those? I know Japan makes the distinction with hambagu being the patty and hambaga being the sandwich, so they probably took a cue from somewhere other than the US.

    And I think you’re thinking of entree, not appetizer.

      Well hamburg steak originated in Hamburg, which Americans then added the bread to to turn it into the hamburger sandwich that everyone thinks of now. Though these days I don’t think you can commonly get hamburg steak even in Hamburg, so it’s probably mainly japan. At the very least any german will think of the sandwich when you say hamburger.
