Jul 21 at 12:35 comment added GH from MO @PeterLeFanuLumsdaine In my opinion, the post would be better without the first sentence, especially that the second sentence clears all doubt by mentioning the full name "Hans Hamburger".
Jul 21 at 12:21 comment added Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine @GHfromMO: In English, the food meaning is far more common and more salient, even for those of us well aware that it’s also a name and adjective in German; I had exactly the same initial reaction as Peter Taylor.

Jul 21 at 7:42 comment added Peter Taylor @GHfromMO, my first instinct was to wonder whether it was a misnomer for the ham sandwich theorem.
Jul 21 at 6:36 comment added GH from MO Hamburger is an adjective in German. It means "from [the city of] Hamburg". It is a common word and a common name in German. So I recommend deleting the first sentence as irrelevant.
