My American Webster's Dictionary gives the following definitions of
hamburger:
1) Ground beef;
2) A fried, broiled or baked patty of the same meat;
3) A sandwich made with such a patty, usually in a round bun.
What versatility! Beef, beef, beef.
Pizza, as defined by the same dictionary, gives the following:
1) An Italian dish made by baking a thin layer of dough covered with a
spiced preparation of tomatoes, cheese, and, often, sausage, mushrooms,
anchovies, etc.
2) Any of various similar dishes consisting of dough cov ered with simple
combinations as of fresh vegetables, herbs, and shellfish, and baked.
Compare these two definitions, and tell me which one, the hamburger or the
pizza, has the most versatility.
