Burger Thread. Yes!

Where do people stand on an onion ring or two in the burger?

I occasionally put them in the bottom.

I'm a massive fan of onion rings on their own and wouldnt mind them so much on a burger....but raw onions/ grilled or fried are better.
 
I seem to recall once eating gammon, pineapple and fried egg on a burger. Marketed as Australian iirc. It was pretty ace. Battering the ring could only make it better imo.
 
Re homemade burgers - is there a knack to get them the same size as the bun they are going into? I vaguely remember a burger press my mum using in the 80s.
 
Burger presses are still available. You can use scone cutters or an upturned glass if you want consistency. Best way is to divide the mince into equal sized balls then press and roll a bit between two damp hands.
 
this threads heated debate about acceptable burger ingredients has spilled over into the pub. And now we are soon to have a burger competition.

6 friends are involved, producing what they think is the best burger.
A taste off and scoring system will reveal the winner.

There is a lot of info to process before I decide what to make.
 
a battered pineapple ring with half of my stepdads large chips, he bought large with intent to share. In those days it was the king of meals, to be eaten on friday while watching Fresh Prince of Bel Air and the Simpsons.

you've all got about 4 years at least on me. But burgers are timeless, they are a connective thing. Matthew Arnold was a great Victorian 'social improver' who thought that a shared cannon of art and literature could combine the classes and ages. He was a fool. They call him a 'humanist'.

it is nothing to do with that. The great leveller is the burger- yet has touched on this. Be-bunned socialism

the politics threadwank is thata way >>>
You are a newcomer on this thread DC, we like to keep it real round here :cool:
 
burgers are political

for instance , did you know that the iriquo nation used to grind up buffalo meat and use it between unleavened corn bread to make their burgers? Or that the swahili speaking peoples of papua new guinea have twenty words for burger?

In some nations it is traditional to wrap a baby's head in burger meat and leave it in the sun for 48 hours. Those patties are then carried to the mens hut and form the base burgers with which the new male member of the tribe is toasted.

In essence the burger is deeply political. It is social. To even leave a bit of cheese out would be enough to cause a blood fued amongst the burger tribes.
 
Burgers aint political, Dotty.....talk about flavours all you want but lets not turn a fun carnivore thread into some pretentious wankfest....

Sez the man who calls me "posh" for liking rocket on a burger.

Onion rings no, on several levels, though. One if they're not home made deep fried ones then they're frozen and um no. And if they're home made they're deep fried. In either case you're adding a new cooking impliment (the oven/deep fat frier) into burger making which is too fucking faffy, with little taste benefit.

Bun+Condiments+Salads then cheese, then burger and then bun. It's not fucking rocket science.
