My guess is yes, on account of me living in the Capital District for two decades and never heard hamburgers referred to as steamed ham. I rarely watch the Simpson's, so it all makes sense now.
Nah, I refuse to believe that people who live in this county are like, "Hey buddy, want to stop by Wedny's for a steamed ham?" Get real, they watch the same commercials as the rest of us.
A lot of us are obsessed with free software and dedicate our entire existence to not doing even the slightest most minor thing that might support corporate corruption and enshitification, not even sit through a 15 second ad.
I don't even know what burger commercials look like.
Believe it or not, there's actually places in the US where it's called a hamburg and others were it's called a burger. There's more regional variation than you'd think, but I realize this is just a Simpsons joke.

They are neither ham nor steamed, unless that's exactly what they are having over there? Wouldn't compare it to a hamburger though... (A hamburger being a Hamburg steak, as in the German city)
