[edit] Steak tartare isn't the same as a hamburger pattie!

I have deleted:

It also gained the alternate name of Hamburg steak which became popular amongst the working class. German immigrants brought the dish to the US in the late 18th and early 19th century where it became known as a hamburger. This dish was not served in bread or buns until the 1880s or 1890s.

... as this paragraph clearly refers not to steak tartare but to cooked minced meat (hamburger patties). Maikel (talk) 15:40, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flaws

This article starts off by stating that The Russians adopted the dish ...—OK, so who did they adopt it from?

I have to say that I'm very suspicious of the information provided by this article, it all seems a bit dodgy. Maikel (talk) 15:50, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm especially dubious about the old chestnut that steak tartare was imported from Russia to Hamburg. That seems to be a post-hoc explanation to tie the two dishes steak tartare and hamburger together. Maikel (talk) 16:26, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
