Those look like the gym shorts from highschool.

Who was that guy?

I was just going off what you wrote which seemed to imply that any steak was only on a plate, not on bun or bread. If I recall the timeline,a Mr. Salisbury popularized cooked chopped or ground beef as a health food in the middle of the 19th century, and in late 19th century it started being put on bread in food establishments. First widespread public exposure was the 1904 Worlds Fair, and White Castle introducing their version in 1921. I don't recall us ever having "hamburger steak" as you describe it, other than cooking up a raft of hamburger patties at a cookout, or a platter of them on the dinner table, and people then building their own burgers (white bread, mustard, catsup, lettuce, sliced onions, sliver tomatoes, and dill pickles sliced lengthwise about 1/8 inch thick). I think mom got 3 or 4 burgers per pound. At cookouts kids might just grab the meat and forego anything else, just eating it as a big meat cookie. One cookout at church, Independence Day in fact, we were hosting the octet from St. Vladimir's Seminary that had just sung at Fort Ross. I was pretty much in charge of the grill. Their choirmaster asked for his burger rare...very rare "Hold out your hand." I said. He got a puzzled look but still held his hand out. I slapped a raw burger patty into his hand. He stared at it for maybe 10 seconds, "I should have known better" he said, then laughed and slapped it on the grill.

Ah! Van Dorn! A very able commander of cavalry.

Jack Lemon .... That's all I recall about it.

That from one of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children!

"Sandwich of Steak in the Hamburg Style." I guess, per what you wrote, there is no such thing as a "steak sandwich."

All relative.

That I am!

I wasn't able to find much on it. Supposedly much milder than elk or other venison. Keep in mind that the meat has been pressure cooked in the can, like bully beef. A bill of materials for a stew: Ingredients Shredded reindeer meat - 400g Bacon - 150g Butter for frying - 2 tbsp Fresh mushrooms - 250g Dried thyme - 1/2 tsp Water - 100ml Sour cream - 300ml Milk - 100ml Juniper berries, crushed - 5 Ektegeitost (a type of sweet brown goat cheese) - 3 slices If there is a Whole Foods near you I would suggest go there and see if they have that cheese, or can suggest a close substitute. Chop the bacon, quarter the mushrooms. Melt the butter in a skillet, render the bacon, add the mushrooms, cook a few minutes, scoop them into a pot. Brown the meat, add to pot with mushrooms. Wipe out the pan, use the other ingredients to make a sauce, adding the cheese after the sauce comes together. Add sauce to meat and mushrooms, heat through.

Is that full semi-auto?

Yep.... that'll make people safe.

And get met with blank looks. When you challenge the band instructor https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0RZEnqO9fe/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Do not say, "No, those shorts don't make you look fat... your fat makes you look fat." That sort of comes from SHMBO. I had made the comment, "I'm glad you don't play those games " after hearing That Question on a TV show. She said, "I don't need to. I know my clothes don't make me look fat, my fat makes me look fat." She had also quipped at the grocery store, when the checker asked if I wanted a bag, "He doesn't need one, I'm right here "

30 years ago, heck, maybe 25 years ago, this could likely have been true. But, let's say those ladies are 80 years old. That means born in 1943 or 1944. That means they would have been 20 going into the mid-1960s. Pretty slim chance that they wouldn't know what it is. (good LORD! Twice within about a week I've Alpoed Alpo! One of us is losing it.....)
