What does Genghis Khan have to do with a hamburger?
Posted by khuushuur under: Uncategorized .
Mongolianartist.com and Mongolia Web quote Ask Yahoo! on the hamburger:
The fast food favorite took a long, slow trip from Genghis Khan through Russia and Germany before arriving at McDonald’s.
…
In the 1200s, Genghis Khan’s Mongol armies ate patties of raw lamb scraps, which were tenderized under the soldiers’ saddles.
Doubtful if this is historically correct, but a good story nevertheless.
