Ridiculous burgers

[Enviro]

Do you put the ketchup under the burger?!

Of course there's such a thing as a chicken burger. This is certainly the first I've seen anyone claim otherwise. What could lead one to such a bizarre conclusion?

A proper burger patty is ground meat. Chicken is not. Hence when you go to McDonald’s etc it’s a chicken sandwich.

A burger is ground meat. Chicken is not. Hence when you go to McDonald’s etc it’s a chicken sandwich.

Maybe in the US and US-inspired outlets like McDonald's, but I've always understood that here in blighty a sandwich is a filling in between two or more slices of bread, not a filling in a bun. Also burgers are best eaten while still hot, while sandwiches are typically eaten cold, or can be made with hot ingredients but are still perfectly edible when cold. I've never seen burgers being served cold at all (although there's probably some hipster shithole that does do that, blegh). I've rarely heard of sandwiches being served with an accompaniment of french fries or chips.

Not to mention that there are in fact grilled or fried patties made with ground chicken meat, so chicken burgers do exist, even if we were to go with the overly-narrow and US-centric definition.

But.... buns are bread.

A different form of bread than a loaf which has been sliced, yes, but still bread.

A specific kind of bread. Would you serve burger buns with an FEB?

 

[Enviro]

I wouldn't choose to. But if there was no other bread available i probably would, albeit very apologeticaly, whilst offering a completely bread free option.

Would you choose to have the feb completely breadless in such circumstances?

I usually don't bother with bread anyway, unless I'm eating out and it comes with as standard, so it would be par for the course for me.

As mentioned before I like a burger. The trend for 'tall' burgers is frankly shit and just style (hipster style) over substance.

If you can't eat it with your hands it not really of interest...

Totally fucking agree. If you can’t fit the fucking thing in your mouth it’s stupid. Half the shit falls out the back (first world problem).

Just like chips in a barm is a chip barm or chip butty, and not a chip sandwich. Chips between slices of bread is a chip sandwich.

Chip butties are life

you mean there was any in it at all?

 

[8ball]

As much as there is in any food (miniscule trace amount).
They themed it the "uranium burger" because Salt Lake City (where the restaurant was) was at the peak of the uranium rush in 1954, when this pic was taken.

This was released a year later.

why yes, i assumed they were cashing in on the fad. your post gave to understand that there may have been added uranium. you know, for the flavor.

Nah, I don't think it would do much for the flavour.
Tastes like copper filings.

But do not mix a burger with a fucking tower.
