Burger Thread. Yes!

I'd put the gherkin inside. Then eat it.

I can see the logic (kinda), some people don't like gerkins so lets put it ontop of the burger). But my wife wouldn't eat the bun if it was soiled with a gerkin (in fact when making burgers I need to slice my gerkin at the last moment as she hates the idea of any of her food touching a gerkin, or sharing a chopping board with a gerkin.

The gerkin on top is a gimmick. I dislike it.

I like that the dill slice is at a jaunty angle like a frenchmans beret

 

[8den]

In that case, regular dill pickles give me the horrors too.

Weirdly my completely pickle/gherkin adverse wife loves cornichon with pate.

 

[Cheesypoof]

I don't want to argue, lets just agree to say you're a burger class traitor, seduced by petite-bourgeoisie condiments and dressings. Okay? Good.

Have it your way mate

Usually, I take the pickle off, and give it to my wife. She likes pickles more than I do; but the burger pickleless is still a great burger.

They put the pickle on just before they wrap it and hand it to you, so the amount of pickle-soiling that occurs is minimal, if you eat it right away.

I don't know how my wife feels about cornichon with pate: we aren't high class enough even to know what that is.

I fling the pickle against the nearest window. The ketchup helps it stick.

 

[DotCommunist]

maccy d's burgers are wortheless without pickle. WORTHELESS

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

That's because the pickle is the only organic ingredient in them.

Johnny Canuck3 what's the difference between a dill pickle and a gherkin?

Johnny Canuck3 what's the difference between a dill pickle and a gherkin?

Dill pickles are what North Americans call pickled cucumbers that have some dill added to the vinegar. Gherkins are a horrible little shrivelled things, resembling goblin's cocks, and have no place in, or on a burger.

cornichon with pate, ickle pickles with liver.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

A gherkin is a savoury pickle.

I thought cornichon would be some type of cooked bird.

Why would you think that in a conversation about pickles. . They're tiny and very sweet.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Let's move on to something new.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

I think that might be a gherkin on top.

Yes, I think you're right
It should be nuked from orbit!

And that is just repugnant.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Haven't tried one yet; but it's on the list.

Maybe this weekend.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

It costs $12.

The one in the picture above is $60. The $12 ones are much more modest.

You could offer your wife the gherkin for $48

To what end: that would be like taking something from the left hand, and putting it in the right.

Well, you'd get to eat that £60 monstrosity, and your wife would get the gherkin. Then you could feel good knowing you'd only paid $12 for your food, and she'd shown poor judgement in paying $48 for a gherkin
