@Nikki18,
What's inside of the shakarbura, Nikki?
I can see that your culture puts a lot of time and effort into foods, the preparation must take a very long time. Here in the United States we don't
spend that much time cooking - I think, 1 hour is tops for most dishes.

Vegemite (play /ˈvɛdʒɪmaɪt/ VEJ-ə-myt)[1][2] is a dark brown Australian food paste made from yeast extract. It is a spread for sandwiches, toast, crumpets and cracker biscuits, and filling for pastries. It is similar to British, New Zealand, and South African Marmite, Australian (US owned) Promite, and to Swiss Cenovis.

Vegemite is made from used brewers' yeast extract, a by-product of beer manufacturing, and various vegetable and spice additives. It is salty, slightly bitter, and umami or malty — similar to beef bouillon. The texture is smooth and sticky. It is not as intensely flavoured as British Marmite and it is less sweet than the New Zealand version of Marmite.


um...

Out of curiosity, I decided to see if there was an Azerbaijani restaurant here in NYC. Apparently there is one: Baku Palace:
2001 Emmons Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11235
Neighborhood: Sheepshead Bay

Almost the southern most part of NYC (in King's County AKA the borough of Brooklyn).

http://www.yelp.com/biz/baku-palace-restaurant-brooklyn#query:azerbaijan%20restaurant

A tad too pricey for my taste.

Then there is Apsheron which is in the same relative neighborhood. Though I can't find a menu for this restaurant. http://www.yelp.com/biz/apsheron-restaurant-brooklyn

It's a sense of national pride.

It's a way of saying "I love nitrates!"

@Nikki18,
One of the photos you posted came from this blog about Azerbaijan food/cooking. Lots of good recipes and stories there.

Here in South Florida

Stone crabs are a delicacy. Only one claw is removed so the crab can grow another one

They are served with butter and lemon

The hatch green chile cheeseburger -
Hatch is an area in New Mexico famous for the best chiles ever; New Mexicans tend to favor green over red chiles, but, hey, I like both.

this is a photo that looks more authentic than some I see on the web -

This is one clearly by a non-new mexican, since on the link he says he never cooked one before, but it looks good to me..

@ossobuco,
Those are mild green chiles, right? I sometimes stuff hamburger patties with the mild green chiles and a sharp cheese and Mr.Irish grills them outside. We usually eat them without a bun.

@Irishk,
It depends as home cooks can put any green chiles they want on the burger. If I remember, the one in the second picture was with poblano chiles, which are generally but not always mild, even on the same plant.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poblano
Also, green chile salsas, from the store or homemade, come in three different heat levels: mild, medium, hot. And sometimes very hot.
A lot of restaurants serve the burgers with mild green chile salsa.

Your stuffed hamburgers sound good. I often put diced jalapenos in all kinds of different foods, including meatloaf.
For Nikki - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jalapeno

On buns, they're the problem. Most of the commercial buns around here fall apart easily. Some smart bakery chain should develop sturdier buns. We had a thread once about hamburger buns and I think it was ehBeth who gave some links to making your own, but I've never gotten around to it. Some fancy restaurants (not here, but I've read about it) use brioche buns.
Me, I'd rather use a good hearth bread, maybe even a relatively thick foccacia sliced in half horizontally.
