The Irish and other Europeans actually carved up
turnips. Poor immigrants to the USA could not afford turnips and
turned to pumpkins instead.

Hamburgers
The Tatars were nomad Turkic tribes who conquered a large swathe off
current day Russia in the 13th and 14th centuries. Constantly on the
move, they placed meat under the saddles of their horses to soften it,
the shredded and spiced it and ate the meat raw. Hence the celebrated
- and expensive - "Beefsteak (or steak) Tatar".
The tenderized beef crossed over to northern Europe and was especially
appreciated in Germany. Immigrants from the German port city of
Hamburg brought the "Hamburg steak" (or "Hamburger" - "from Hamburg"
in German) to the US in the 19th century.
The term "Hamburger steak" appeared in a menu of Delmonico's in New
York dated to 1834. It is mentioned as part of a restaurant menu in
the Walla Walla, Washington Union News in 1889 and in Mrs. Rorer's New
Cookbook in 1902. Hamburgers cost 15 cents a piece in Ray
Croc MacDonald's hamburger chain launched in 1955.
