Shouldn't something called a hamburger be made from pork?It didn't take much poking around the web to discover that the first hamburgers were made in Hamburg, Germany. Therefore...hamburgers. The same as hot dogs are from Frankfurt, Germany giving them the title Frankfurters.
This may lead you to the question, are french fries from France? The answer would be no. The french of the fries is the way the are cut into strips. French fries were developed in Belgium, or at least Belgium claims the honor. There always seems to be some dispute in these things.
French toast also appears to not be from France but it's really hard to track the origins down in the 4th century. I am however, still happy to have it.
Does olive oil come from olives? Indeed, it does. Somehow, I just couldn't imagine getting oil from an olive. But now that I think about it, corn doesn't seem a likely source of oil either.
