#1 - The Spring Chicken Gold Digger

From fast-food counters to Michelin-starred restaurants, the hamburger is much loved in the Western diet, but where did it come from?

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines a hamburger as both "ground beef" and "a sandwich consisting of a patty of hamburger" on a bun. Although these might be the simplest forms of a hamburger, the sandwich is often eaten with other things added, such as lettuce, cheese, sauces and even other meats.

But this popular food didn't start out with all the extras. In fact, it's thought that one of the earliest forms of the hamburger was closer to a steak tartare — raw minced steak mixed with egg.

While a recipe from the Roman Empire suggests the earliest version of this meal, some believe that it came from Mongolian horsemen, who would place beef under their saddles while riding, so that by the end of the day it was tender enough to eat raw.

However, others say these riders placed meat under their saddles only to help heal their horses' sores, and any meat prepared this way would be too dirty to be edible.

A later version is thought to have come from the German city of Hamburg, where chefs around the 17th or 18th century cooked minced beef with onions and breadcrumbs. This came to be known in English as the "Hamburg steak," and made its way to the US during the 19th century, where it was later called the "hamburger."

Although it isn't known who first thought to put this minced meat on bread, adding a bun made the hamburger popular as a sandwich in the US. The first fast-food hamburger chain — named White Castle — was opened in 1921, and still sells its famous square-shaped hamburgers to this day.

Now, hamburgers can be found worldwide thanks to popular American fast-food restaurants such as McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's. In 2012, PBS reported that an estimated 50 billion hamburgers are eaten in the US alone every year.

 حفَّار القبور
في وادي ظل الحياة المرصوف بالعظام والجماجم سرتُ وحيدًا في ليلةٍ حجب الضبابُ نجومَهَا، وَخَامَرَ الهولُ سكينتها.

هناك على  ضفاف نهر الدماء والدموع المُنسَابِ كالحية الرَّقْطَاءِ، المتراكض كأحلام المجرمين، وقفتُ مُصْغِيًا لهمس الأشباح مُحَدِّقًا باللاشيء.

ولمَّا انتصفَ الليل وقد خرجتْ مواكبُ الأرواح من أوكارها، سمعتُ وقع أقدام ثقيلة تقترب مني، فالتفتُّ وإذا بشبحٍ جبار مَهيب مُنتصب أمامي، فصرختُ مذعورًا: «ماذا تريدُ مني؟»

فنظر إليَّ بعينين مُشعشعتين كالمسارج، ثم أجاب بهدوء: «لا أريد شيئًا، وأريد كل شيء.»

قلتُ: «دعني وشأني وسِر في سبيلكَ.»

فقال مبتسمًا: «ما سبيلي سوى سبيلك؛ فأنا سائرٌ حيث تسير، ورابضٌ حيث تربض.»

 قلت: «جئتُ أطلب الوحدة، فخلِّنِي ووحدتي.» فقال: «أنا الوحدة نفسي. فلماذا تخافني؟» قلت: «لستُ بخائفٍ منك.» فقال: «إن لم تكن خائفًا فلماذا ترتجف مثل قصبة أمام الريح؟» قلت: «إن الهواء يتلاعب بأثوابي فترتجف، أما أنا فلا أرتجف.»
فضحك مُقهقهًا بصوتٍ يُضَارِعُ ضجيج العاصفة، ثم قال: «أنت جبان، تخافني وتخاف أن تخافني، فخوفكَ مُزدوج، ولكنك تحاول إخفاءه عني وراء خداع أوهى من خيوط العنكبوت، فضحكني وتغيظني.» ثم جلس على الصخر، فجلستُ قَسْرَ إرادتي مُحدقًا الى ملامحه المَهيبة، وبعد هُنيهة خِلتُها ألف عام نظر إليَّ مُستهزئًا وسألني قائلًا: «ما اسمك؟»
