Why would I think of the Dutch word?
And even in the context of the sentence... I still have food on my mind.

Every time I see this symbol ≡ and then access the Menu
my appetite returns.

Cause they are similar. burger(dutch), borger(danish), burgher(english). add in the context of the sentence.

ere burgher isnt English, its a Dutch word in origin, we no doubt started to adopt it by trading withthe Hanseatic league.

but it became burgess, or borough, and neither of them remotely sound like burgers in English...mmm burgers
