How do you like your burger?

[rugbyLEAGUEfan]

a thick well done burger, topped with melted cheese, crispy bacon,fried onion rings, sitting on a bed of lettuce and tomatoe, slice of dill pickle and the compulsory sliced tinned beetroot, served with mayonnaise on the salad and tomatoe sauce on the rest, with a gooey fried egg sitting on top, all wrapped up in a lightly toasted buttered bun, preferably served at a place called "Greasy Joe's"(my current favorite)and it should be served with hot salty fat 'Chips' with lashings of vinegar

This is what I wanted to say.

Having said that though, it's probably more a case of "What burgers do you have available that are awesome?" rather than "What's my ideal burger?"

The fact is that the Yanks do the best burgers. From coast to coast I've demolished my fair share and, lack of beetroot withstanding, the US is the burger's spiritual home.

well, what we would both say is probally "one with the lot, loose the pineapple" while at home, and yes I've had some great burgers in the US, but its like the smell of eucalyptus, when you get of the plane, back home,and my last trip OS was to london anyways.

I'm just a traditionalist at heart, and a burger and chips at the beach, beats a shrimp on the barby (something i have not seen) anytime

I like it when the meat is still on the cow. I'm a traditionalist.

spit roasted cow, ummm i'll second that

 

[Quackers]

That does sound good but i prefer to take a bite out of them when they are still in the field XD

Yes, I'm well entitled to my own tastes, which is why you saying I'm wrong is just laughable and you're a hypocrite.

Hahaha hypocrite? No no no. You are entitled to your own tastes in terms of what you prefer to eat but in this case you made a factual statement that undercooked meat is rubbery and that statement is factually wrong. It's like saying water is dry. Had you said you don't like the TASTE of undercooked meat that would be an opinion, and a fine and valid one. There may be a few types of meat that are rubbery completely uncooked, if they are extremely gristley. but that would make a terrible burger no matter how it's cooked. The type of meat generally used for burgers is, as a statement of fact, not rubbery when undercooked. So maybe try knowing what you're talking about before leveling accusations of hypocrisy at others, champ.

It tastes rubbery to me.

Please tell me I am lying. Please, go on. Tell me how sense perception is fact and it's the same for everyone.

Oh.. wait.. You can't, can you?

Just the patty and bread. Which is the cause for many headache at fastfood restaurants I eat at. (yes I am a filthy giant)

 

[Zelig]

I'm fairly certain you're both talking about texture and mouth-feel, not taste.

Nope, I'm talking about taste. Though yes, it feels rubbery too.

Well that's just silly, no food tastes like rubber.

The correct answer is "at In N Out"

When I'm on the west coast.

I'm glad to see that no one has promoted "fish" or "chicken" burgers (though vegi was mentioned). While all may be tasty concoctions and involve filler in a bun, they just ain't burgers.

 

[Synobun]

For you, maybe.

You've never had squid, have you?

 

[rugbyLEAGUEfan]

You've never had squid, have you?

Please refer to his previous comments regarding texture and mouth feel

 

[Zelig]

For you, maybe.

It's not a subjective thing, if you chomp down on your rubber boot, that is going to give you a taste that is not present in beef.

It's like claiming that your bananas taste like copper.

 

[bhsup]

Maybe to some people bananas do taste like copper, and maybe to ME my taste buds make me think of rubber when I eat squid..
