Patty

Well, kiddo, do you know what a burger is? It's a yummy food that's made with a cooked beef patty in between two buns, usually with cheese, lettuce and tomato on it.

The patty is the most important part! It's like a big flat meatball made out of ground beef. It's round, just like a small frisbee, and it's cooked on a grill or in a frying pan until it's brown and delicious.

Sometimes, people also make "patties" out of other things like veggie burgers or chicken burgers. But those are made with different ingredients!

So, there you have it - a patty is just a round, cooked piece of ground meat that goes on a burger. Pretty easy to understand, right? Now, who's craving a burger?!
