  4. Comments: They also have it! It is not called hamburger but "Bitoque." It is different from American hamburger, but evidently belongs to the same family. Like its American cousin, French hamburger is inexpensive, quickly cooked, and good to eat.
  5. Suggested Wine: A light red wine; chilled dry white wine; or possibly a rose wine.
