    It wasn’t even really a patty as we know it in burgers, it was more like a slice of breakfast sausage.

        I guess that’s true. It’s more the distinction of the paddy being formed by hand or being sliced out of a big roll of sausage.

          You happened to ask this while I was in a smaller class at my college so I was able to start a “civil discussion” over whether a Sausage McMuffin was a burger.

        I wouldn’t call a slice of sausage a patty, so I disagree

        I cannot tell you why, though, and I make my own sausages and burgers by hand so like, I should know why?

      No, the “hamburger steak”, mentioned in the Oxford dictionary in 1802, was roasted and salted minced beef meat. So pretty close to the present day patty actually.
