I grew up thinking they were what the Americans were calling "hamburgers". Not eaten at home on a bun. Just bread or potatoes. Being the outlier I used catsup. I stole out of fridge cold when there were leftover. Imagine my surprise when I hosted a party as an adult. Menu included hamburgers on the grill. A guest offered to pat out the patties - she used just ground beef and salt. I squealed, she asked wht I expected. Her response to my description "That sounds like meatloaf!"
