Kubie burger

A regional specialty from Alberta, kubie burger is a type of Canadian hamburger consisting of a Ukrainian garlic sausage called kubie that is pressed and then served in a bun or a bread roll similarly to a hamburger. The name of this burger, kubie, comes from the Albertan abbreviation of the word kubasa or kielbasa, which is the corrupted name of kovbasa, meaning sausage in Ukrainian. The burger is typically accompanied by fried onions, creamy cheese spreads, caraway bacon sauerkraut, or cheddar cheese. This regional dish can be found in restaurants, diners, and burger shacks throughout Alberta.
