The burger is known as “the world’s oldest hamburger” it is thought to date back to the Qin Dynasty, over 2,000 years ago.

Rougamo (肉夹馍) is a traditional snack from the northwestern region of China. It consists of a type of flatbread and meat filling, along with some additional ingredients and seasonings. The bread is typically made from flour and water, and then baked into a flat round shape. The meat filling can be made from pork, beef, or lamb, often with added scallions, ginger, and other spices, and cooked until it’s tender and flavorful.

The preparation of Rougamo is simple. First, the flatbread is cut in half, and then the meat filling is sandwiched in between. It’s typically served with condiments such as chili sauce, sesame sauce, garlic paste, and vinegar. The combination of the savory meat filling, crispy bread, and flavorful condiments make Rougamo a delicious and satisfying snack.
