BBC News - Hemingway's favourite burger recipe

"We ate well and cheaply and drank well and cheaply and slept well and warm together and loved each other" wrote Ernest Hemingway in A Moveable Feast. Could it have been a wholesome burger that made them sleep so well, asks Tanvi Misra?

According to Sandra Spanier, general editor of the Hemingway Letters Project, Papa's favourite hamburger recipe - made available by the John F Kennedy Presidential Library in digital form on Tuesday - reveals quite a bit about the author and his fourth wife, Mary.

Hmmmm... Inneresting.

I've read a couple of his books - The Sun Also Rises and For Whom the Bell Tolls and I've got The Old Man and the Sea lined up on my Kindle.

Sun Also Rises really is highly evocative of a Spanish Fiesta. A couple of years ago, I went to Pamplona and had lunch in Café Iruña, a place where the main protagonists in the novel would frequently meet up. I have to say, it probably hasn't changed since the time of Papa. Amazing decor but it was just the swarms of people , everyone from fan touting old Doñas to the limpiabotas plying their trade, that gave it its buzz.
