Week 11

When asked about my favorite food I find it very hard for me to choose just one, and my favorite food often changes. However, as of lately the something that tops the list is a simple, but tasty hamburger. There are many toppings that can go on a hamburger, and I prefer practically all of them when I am enjoying one. For example, ripe and juicy tomatoes, crisp lettuce, sour pickles, and even onions. Hamburgers alone are great, but they're even better when there is a side of perfectly cooked and season fries to go with it.
The history of the hamburger goes a long way back; there are various accounts of “hamburgers” stretching back to the 15^th and 16^th centuries, but these were not even close to the same “hamburgers” that we see today. The first appearance of a hamburger on an American menu was back in 1826 on the menu of a restaurant named Delmonico's, in New York. Even though this is the first appearance on a menu there are many speculations as to who actually invented the hamburger. There are people who say it was a coincidence and that vendors ran out of sausage for sandwiches and were forced to use beef instead. There are also others who believe that a young man started selling sandwiches, made out of meatballs, that could be eaten on the run, and these sandwiches would eventually evolve into the hamburger we know today.
Whatever the story is, I'm just glad somebody was able to come up with such a good tasting piece of food. I love hamburgers, there are so many combinations of different toppings and ways to make them, they personalize the way we eat.

While fixing up the rough draft I pretty much rearranged everything a couple of times trying to get it to sound right. I also fixed a few sentences and moved some of them around. I even go rid of some sentences that didn't fit, but also added others that I felt needed to be there. There were, of course, grammatical errors that I had to go back and fix also.
