Did I know what a soft shell crab was until I read this? No. I did not.
Had I ever gormed the word tracklement? No. I had not
Had I ever considered that some peculiar loony hooligan might put banana, pineapple and peanut butter on a burger? No. Nay and never. Nor do I believe that anyone ever orders it, never mind the triple burger version of it for £5.35.

Burger King is disgusting. McDonalds is OK for a hamburger or cheeseburger, but a Big Mac is disgusting.

They're overpriced and shit mind.

They've doubled in price
No great shakes. Gourmet Burger Kitchen is better, although they have stopped doing the chilli burger for the time being. Their good chips and overpriced milkshakes are also worth having.

I think you only get them in service stations these days - I've not seen on in a town centre for many a year, so assume the name was bought by someone else.

Firstly, I want to bring up the new BK offering. The Angus XT Ploughman.
Angus XT Ploughman – athicker, flame-grilled 100% Aberdeen Angus beef burger, topped with melted slices of Irish cheddar and Red Leicester cheese. This succulent burger is served in a British baked, freshly toasted glazed bun, with fresh slices of onion and tomato, hand picked UK iceberg lettuce, and finished off with a swirl of sweet pickle style relish.
Branston on a burger? Wrong? I haven't had the balls to try one yet as I'm usually a Bacon Double Cheese or Whopper kinda guy, what do you lot think?
ignore the fish fingers, they are a distraction cleverly planted to distract you from the potential wrongness off the Branston
I had one the other day. They are pretty good actually.

Everyone loves burgers. Especially me. So this is a thread to celebrate them. Feel free to list recipe's for your own homemade versions, or discuss variations and argue about which is the best.

My Burger King burger of choice is the Steakhouse XT. Secret ingredient - the deep fried onions.

I was vegetarian for a long time and Fish McFillets were my staple McD's burger. Damn nice they were too. Not sure they'd still be as nice now that I eat proper meats but I have fond memories of them

I had one of them. The crispy onions were more soft and a bit soggy onions than crispy which made it a bit of a failburger I must say. Could be nice if done properly I suppose.

Up the bum - no babies!!!
I had a fillet-o-fish the other day for the first time in about twenty years...it had HALF A SLICE OF CHEESE on it! 
Due to this thread, I actually looked on the McD's website yesterday
only to discover that that is how they're supposed to be...
...WTF...CRAZY OLD WORLD!!!
(My son reckoned that it was just that no one else had bought one for twenty years either....and that the cheese had just slowly disintegrated while it had been sitting there waiting to be bought )

The Darren Burger:
Despite the excellent name, what say ye on NUTTY OR BROWN BREAD in a burger? Wrong as feckin horses that. Not to mention the pineapple. I tried that once and it was a bit like riding a bike through the sea. Stupid and instantly regretful.

There's a big one in Woolwich. I think there's one near Kings Cross too, though I'm not sure. Maybe people don't notice them unless they're looking for them.

They've actually always had cheese on. It is you who has changed my friend.

the food we had there was mostly rubbish, but soon as we crossed the border back into Canada, had one of the nicest burgers ever. Wasn't big, but was delicious...

I couldn't find many...Please bidders
This is one of my burgers - could've done with more melty cheese, and a better bun.
Meatwagon burger - they do new fangled steaming business when they cook it.
Honest burger - they are pricey, but I quite like em - good bun that doesn't disintegrate, and their chips are lush.
This was one of jolivers places up north, only place we could find open, was a horrible tasteless burger, the fella only had a couple of bites of his.
Take out the big bit of lettuce and this is the best burger I've had yet... not sure I can pin my finger on why, the bun is not too sweet brioche I think, the meat is really good quality and they don't skimp on the bacon and cheese, but don't overdo it either... top of my list so far
(I like food and taking photos of it
