Is the hamburger a copy of the Roujiamo, or is the Roujiamo a counterfeit of the hamburger?

Register the intangible cultural heritage as soon as possible; otherwise, roujiamo might also become a Korean specialty

The thing is, my position is low and my role is insignificant; what I say doesn’t really count either: lol

Why must one imitate another? This premise is simply wrong

There is no question of one imitating another; these are foods that have developed as a result of dietary traditions in different regions

There’s no such thing as imitation; they are products of different regions and environments. If we really have to determine which one appeared first, I think it’s Roujiamo, hahahahaha

I think, if we trace its origins, it should be Roujiamo. Regarding the origin of Roujiamo, its original name was Lazi Roujiamo. At that time, Korea, which was located in the triangular area between Qin, Jin, and Yu, already knew how to prepare meat cooked in soy sauce. After Qin conquered Korea, this cooking technique was brought to Chang’an. The restaurant located inside Wenchang Gate is named Qin Yu Roujiamo, implying that it is a genuine restaurant specializing in braised meat dishes. ”. Regarding hamburgers, I looked into their origin; “in fact, the original hamburger was a meat patty made from ground beef and flour, which is why it was called a beef patty.” The ancient Tatars had the custom of eating beef raw; as they migrated westward, this practice first spread to the Balkan Peninsula and then to Germany, where it was gradually replaced by eating beef cooked. People in the Hamburg area of Germany improved upon it by mixing ground beef with flour, shaping it into patties and frying them; thus it was named “Hamburger” after the place name. In 1850, German immigrants brought the art of cooking hamburger patties to the United States. In 1932, people used these fried beef patties wrapped in small bread rolls covered with sesame seeds as a main meal or snack. Over time, new variations emerged, and they gradually merged with sandwiches – the beef patties were placed between two halves of bread, giving rise to what is known as a hamburger, meaning \"bread with patty\". ”

I checked, and it says that the history of Roujiamo dates back to the Warring States period – that’s quite astonishing. At that time, were people in Europe and America still worried about dying of hunger? Did they have the time to focus on studying food?

Roujiamo existed already during the Warring States period and the Qin Dynasty; the bread served as military rations while the meat functioned as an accompaniment. Back then, the meat was roasted and then dried, and before eating it, water was placed in a helmet and the meat was cooked inside it. After that, a sword would be used to hold the helmet open, allowing steam to soften the dry bread, which could then be cut open to insert the meat inside. One would eat it in large bites, drink the soup from the helmet, and then shout songs in the Qin opera style before picking up a sword and heading to the battlefield. The nutritious military rations and food supplies of the Qin army, which could be stored for a long time, coupled with the strong physical condition of its soldiers, were important factors in the Qin army’s ability to conquer the six states and unify China. When the Qin soldiers were eating meat buns, was the tail of the ancestor of hamburgers still not clean yet?
