Word Wednesday - Are You Hungry?

I did sandwich a few times back, so I thought I'd do a few more food words.

Spaghetti comes from the Italian word spago which basically means little cord.

Hamburger actually came from Hamburger steak, which was basically a shorter way of saying "steak in the fashion of Hamburg," which is a city in Germany.

Sundae: I found lots of controversial stuff over this popular summer treat all over the internet. It seems nobody really knows, but it is speculated that it came from the word "Sunday" either because it was ice cream sold only on Sundays or leftover from Sundays and sold cheaper on Monday.
