    Hamburger

    Object » linked to 362 games

    A hamburger is a hunk of ground beef served between two pieces of bun-configured bread. Hamburgers are often served with a variety of toppings and condiments. It is named for the region in which it was invented, not for the kind of meat (as is often mistakenly suggested).

    The other day I was out, and grabbed a burger at a local place. The lady misheard my "abso-fucking-lutly no goddamned pickles or tomatoes." as "extra, extra T&P". The top bun was soaked in neon green pickle piss, and the bottom soggy from the tomatoes splooging out. As a long-time food-service worker, i seldom cause a fuss, or send stuff back, but this was too much. The next try was pretty good, and i was less grumpy.
     
    So what ingredients can you not tolerate on a burger (or durger)?  what will make you either not order a burger if its dresed on it, or send it back, besides being too bloody or too burnt?
    I think the absolute most disgusting thing I've seen is a british guy put clotted cream on a burger in lieu of cheese.

    I can deal with taking off tomatoes from a burger but when pickles enter the mix, I can't do it. Combine those with nasty ol' mustard and you've got a slimy, slide around factor that's just way too much to look past. Not even bacon can get me to eat a pickled, tomato'd, musturd'd up burger.

    I hate pickles, tomatoes, mustard, raw onions, and mayo on my burgers. When I order, "Only cheese and ketchup" from fast food, because usually lettuce is all soggy and gross.

    Any time you can work "pickle piss" into a comment, you have to do it. 
     
    I hate burned and/or dry meat more than anything, aside from the obvious (no bugs or other contaminants).

    Tomato slices and large chunks of onion are my dealbreakers. Oddly enough, I'm one of the few people I know who doesn't mind pickles on a burger. Thankfully, this means that when I'm out with family and/or the girlfriend, I get everybody else's unwanted gherkins piled into my burger box :)

    usually nothing gets me riled enough to return a burger cause i can usually scrape it off. it's only if they really have messed up my order and basically gave me a different burger then i wanted that i will actually go up and talk to them. Otherwise it's not that big of a deal, just scrape off what i don't want and eat.

    Clotted creme- 

    Clotted cream is a thick yellow cream made by heating unpasteurised cow's milk and then leaving it in shallow pans for several hours. During this time, the cream content rises to the surface and forms clots.  True Cornish clotted cream must be made from unpasteurised milk or the clots will not form. It has a minimum fat content of 55%. Clotted cream is generally served as part of a cream tea on scones with strawberry or raspberry jam.

    My opinions exactly. And unlike other things I'm not huge fans of (tomatoes, onions, etc), mayo is pretty much impossible to get off once its there.

    I like pretty much everything on my burger including the ketchup, mustard, mayo, lettuce, onion, and pickle.  I don't like tomatoes, but if they are accidentally included I can live with it and take them off.  The one absolute dealbreaker for me is if some asshat gives me a hamburger instead of a cheeseburger.  I don't want the burger if it doesn't have the cheese.  Additionally, if you call it a double, it damn well better have at least one slice of cheese for each burger patty.  This new McDouble and Buck Double cost cutting crap with only a single slice of cheese with two patties just doesn't cut it.   
     
    I still remember the local burger dump back in my hometown had the best double cheeseburgers:  bun-condiments-cheese-burger-cheese-burger-cheese-bun.  That is right, 3 slices of melted cheesy goodness on a double for only $1.25.  (of course this was circa 1985).

    I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes, mushrooms, or avacado on a burger.  That being said, that's not exactly a deal breaker, but I will pick apart the burger to get rid of them.

    I will eat just about anything on a burger.  From mushrooms, grilled onions and blue cheese; to all the fixings at a typical backyard BBQ.  I try not to eat at fast food places much though, their version of meat sammich can only loosely be described as a 'burger'.   I'm also probably one of the least picky eaters you're ever likely to meet, just about anything edible is fair game for me, at least once to decide if I don't like it.

    Maybe it's because I don't really eat tomatoes, but I feel a tomato on a hamburger totally steals all the taste away from the other ingredients. It's too dominant a taste, I think, and it doesn't complement the tastes of any of the other ingredients.  
     
    Also: Mayonnaise isn't a dealbreaker, per se, but it kind of makes things weird. Just a weird funk about mayo on a burger.

    For me, it's totally dependent on the tomato context. Haha, you know? Salsa--yes. Pico de gallo--absolutely. Ketchup--if there's also mustard involved, then sure. I even like diced tomatoes on things like omelets and such. But tomato slices just give me the willies. Something about the consistency, partly. I guess I go in expecting something crunchy-ish like a pepper. But the taste is so strong to my senses that I'm always sent into this semi-gag reflex.

    @Sir_Ragnarok: It's cool man.  I will straight up eat a raw tomato like an apple and maybe that's genetic.  Burgers can still be awesome even without them.
