I dunno, I just cannot fucking stand lettuce on my burgers, at least at fast food joints. I'm fine with it on my own homemade burgers, but, shit, if it isn't completely fresh, it makes me puke.

QFT. Lettuce needs to be crisp and relatively fresh. It is usually neither of these things at fast food places.

There's two ingredients I can't stand on burger.

Pickles and Mustard.

Both McDonald's and Burger King have both of them on by default.

Suffice it say, I don't order their ordinary hamburgers.

 

[iamblades]

Don't use shitty bread.

Don't really have a choice at the burger place do I?

Tomatoes can make any kind of bread soggy though (I always get the sturdiest wheat bread I can get, I hate overly soft bread that turns to mush under pressure). I'll gladly take the tomato (or several) but keep them the fuck away from my bread.

 

[Damodar]

I like pickles on my burgers.

Plus, they add a bitter/savoury touch that stops the burger from being a dessert, since the buns etc have so much sugar in them :lol

What Burger King and McDonald's have you been going to? Every single one around me use ketchup and mayonnaise by default and I have to tell them to switch them for mustard. Mustard, pickles, and uncooked onions are the tang/zest trifecta of burgerdom. There is nothing else.

The back crust of a sandwich.

OKay okay okay hold the fucking phone...

If you hate the HEEL of the bread then you are safe. No one is supposed to like that shit. My wife does, but only because her parents were/are a bunch of backwards toothless hillbillies. May as well live in a mud pit feasting on fish heads and biting the heads of chickens for all I care. Gross but it doesnt hurt anybody but yourself.

If you hate bread crust in general (cutting it from the perimiter of your crunchy peanut butter sandwich) then your life is forfiet for all I care. I'm sorry, I'm sure your nice enough in other ways, but there are too many bad people on this earth already.

If I remember correctly, people who hate bread crust sit between gun runners and reality TV show hosts in hell.

 

[speedpop]

Add me to the Pickles Hater fanclub. But my partner and her sister love them so I'm the black sheep of the household.

 

[legend166]

Australia used to have the greatest McDonalds burger.

The McOz.

Beetroot, lettuce, tomato, onion, cheddar cheese, ketchup, and a beef patty.

They got rid of it though a couple months ago. Saddest thing ever.

 

[speedpop]

The got rid of the McOz eh? I haven't eaten McDonalds in months but I enjoyed that Backyard Burger they hashed up together awhile back.

 

[Raw64life]

Ever since the BK Stacker came out I always get that simply because it just comes with the burger, cheese and bacon so you don't have to ask for no this this and this and then pray that they actually listen to you.

 

[evlcookie]

Hate em on mcdonalds burgers, but i dont mind em on hungry jacks, nfi why.

Well, I don't eat the heel either, but I'll eat the front and sides of the sandwich, but when its just the back part and that part of the crust is left, I stop eating it.

When it comes to Pop Tarts though, I eat all of the 'crust' there; I nibble it all off around the thing then eat the frosted/filling part afterward.

There was a guy I used to know from Australia that would also put beetroot on burgers, and also an egg? Is that common down there?

Very common. I hate beetroot personally, but I don't mind an egg on a burger or steak sandwich.

 

[Red Scarlet]

That's so weird!

 

[Polari]

Taking the pickle out and flinging it at something is a key part of the McDonald's experience.

 

[ChryZ]

Last week I had my first Cheeseburger in like 15 years. It was from McD. I like pickles, but I pulled a wry face once I hit it on the burger.

 

[santouras]

apparently to "australianafy" a burger you put beetroot and egg on it. I know I put beetroot on my meat + salad sandwiches, but not really egg.

I agree with the sentiment that haters can be sunk at sea as well. People who refuse to eat certain types of food are sad. Especially when its stuff they should be eating, like vegetables.

 

[VOOK]

Hell yeah, I love a Fried Egg and Beetroot in a burger. So awesome!

I compensate for my beetroot hate by eating broccoli and potatoes raw. That's right.

I'm pretty sure thats just apart of a BLT down under. All of that tends to come with one when you order it from say a fish n chip store, cafe etc.

 

[Rpgmonkey]

The first thing I do when I get a burger is take the pickles and tomatoes off.

I like pickles when they're not on burgers (I hate sweet ones though), and just don't like tomatoes in general. :/

 

[Omie]

They fucking annoy me on my In-N-Out burgers.

NO I DO NOT WANT PICKLES ON MY PROTEIN STYLE CHEESEBURGER DAMMIT

They're fine on Big Macs, though.

In and Out doesn't put pickles on their burgers, they are only available upon request.


I love pickles, I just can't eat them because they give me an upset stomach. Having acid reflux sucks...

THEN WHY ARE THEY ALWAYS ON MY BURGER? >:-(

O_O

I've tried potato raw. I imagine you need to get the right variety for it to be pallatable.

 

[Red Scarlet]

They just know...

 

[Zyzyxxz]

I always leave just one ingredient off of any burger I order, as a way to force the restaurant to make me a fresh burger.

I hated bitches like you when I worked at McDonalds in my high school days.

Lettuce wrap was a real bitch because it was such a pain to get it perfect and we had to work fast because the mall location always had shitloads of people around meal times.

Then I remember some guy ordering a cheeseburger, no pickles, no onions, no mustard, w/ lettuce, and mac sauce.

 

[Damodar]

Isn't raw potato bad for you?

 

[speedpop]

O_O

Yeah most of the time. Potatoes that are usually used in oven baking, boiled or steaming are probably the best - the small round ones with reddish skin. Honestly it's an acquired taste and I can't remember the first time I ever tried it other than my mum giving me a slice of potato now and again when she was making mashed potato.

I think I was the experiment child of the lot for my mother. She never allowed me to put sugar in my cereal unlike my siblings, allowed me to nibble on raw vegetables quite a lot without any extra additions (cabbage is also quite nice), as well as other assorted things that people go "wtf?" to me over.

 

[Omie]

THEN WHY ARE THEY ALWAYS ON MY BURGER? >:-(

Because they know you like pickles in your buns.

 

[iamblades]

Isn't raw potato bad for you?

No, but much of the starch in them is undigestible raw iirc(which might be seen as a positive if you are trying to avoid the calories but want the nutrients/fiber/etc). Also potatoes are inherently dirty, so eating one raw could get you sick from something in the dirt.

Thinly sliced raw potatoes are nice, they have a nice crunch to them, I used to always eat raw potatoes when I was growing up.

Potatoes are a member of the night shade family, and all the standard precautions apply there, avoid the stems/leaves/anything green.

 

[Damodar]

I was thinking it was something to do with starch, yeah. Makes me curious now :O

 

[Hitokage]

Potatoes are a member of the night shade family, and all the standard precautions apply there, avoid the stems/leaves/anything green.

The potatoes sold for consumption are generally bred for low poison content, but after extended exposure to light they start to become unsafe. Potatoes also turn green when exposed to light after a while, but the two actions aren't one and the same.

 

[Corwood Rep]

So let's get a show of hands going.

Who here orders *everything* on a cheeseburger? I've always done that since forever. Pickles are awesome, tomatoes are awesome, lettuce is awesome, all that shit is awesome. Awesome.

 

[Chris R]

The best burger IMO has

Toasted bun, light mayo, light mustard UNDER THE BURGER

Perfectly grilled burger with or without cheese, bacon, ect (YOUR CHOICE HERE)

1 slice of tomato, 1 leaf (?) of lettuce, Toasted Crown


NO KETCHUP OR PICKLES on a perfect burger.

 

[Rewrite]

Pickles on any burger = disgusting

Agreed. They make me gag for some reason.

 

[nbraun80]

I usually just pick the pickles off and eat them plain...

What grinds my gears more is that Wendy's put square meat on circle buns, IT'S BLASPHEMY...

 

[BlueTsunami]

Pickles should be optional, not CHEESE

I like biting all of the meat that sticks out of the bun before actually biting into the whole thing. ^_^

@ tsunamipoo - gays hate cheese

 

[Rentahamster]

Pickles, lettuce, tomato, onions, cheese, ketchup, mustard, mayo, tobasco, chilis, whatever. Load 'em up on my burger. It all tasted wonderful!

As far as I'm concerned, I'm getting to eat more for free. Assuming the extra toppings are free. If they're gonna charge me en extra $0.25 for cheese or BBQ sauce or something, fuck 'em.

 

[Hitokage]

Actually, I'll fess up. If there's anything I'll leave off my burger it's mushrooms, but only because it becomes taste overkill when they get thrown in with everything else(including cheese and bacon). They can go in when other ingredients are taken off.

 

[ZiZ]

I like pickles on my burgers.

it depends on the restaurant I guess.

 

[lexi]

Fuck you, pickles are awesome.

 

[BlueTsunami]

@ tsunamipoo - gays hate cheese

I weep for the gays! WEEP!

And I tried the BK Steakhouse burger a few weeks back. I don't know how you can eat that much freakin A1 sauce. It was good but jesus! I fear for the poor soul that eats those things regularly.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Strangely the only pickles i can tolerate are from Mc'Donald, i used to get them out of my big mac but when you get to eat one @ 3am, drunk, you really dont care about pickles so i ate them and after a while i got used to it and i think they taste great in a big mac now.

I tried them in a subway, was awful, same with other burgers like BK's or harvey's.

I've have not eaten at Macca's since

When I was in America visiting family they would look at me like I was a freak when I asked for beetroot on my burger :lol

That, right there, is a great Australian burger.

Wow, is that pineapple in there as well? That's made me hungry just looking at it. When's the next flight to Oz?
