Britain’s Best Burgers

A lot of people here hate McDs so the Spectator decided to do an article on the best burgers

Though looking at some of the pictures, got me thinking how on earth you get your choppers around that!
or as we all know you take a bite and all the innards will go south ( all over you) or oh all those calories. What is the etiquette for eating them?

Britain’s Best Burgers

What is the etiquette for eating them?

A couple of years ago I was in San Francisco and ordered a burger and fries in a restaurant. We were sat at a counter by the kitchen so the cooks and the waiters were moving about close to us the whole time. When my order arrived I attacked the burger with a knife and fork, cutting bite size pieces from it. It wasn't long before one of the waiters stopped as he passed and asked "Are you British?". I said "Yes, how did you know?" He replied "Only the British use a knife and fork to eat a burger".

So the answer to your question is "Pick it up and bite in to it, don't cut it up"

To me, warm lettuce has got to be one of the most unappetising ‘conventional’ foods ever.

What I really wonder about McDonald's is how can they get away with advertising well filled burgers then supply those same burgers without most of the fillings? Isn't there laws against false advertising? Burgers look taller than they're wider even if a big mac. Then you get them and they're as flat as a burger made with just bun, thin burger and very little else.

Bugbear off my chest.

Lettuce in a salad is very tasty but as you say warm it up and it's disgusting. I don't like burgers anyway so eating one of these monsters won't be a problem.

Well, this person clearly thinks there's a law...

If it's only the warm lettuce that bothers you...

Every one of those piccies in the link (yes I did click it ) is frankly nauseating. Especially the last one (above). From the blurb:

The bread is baked using absolutely no preservatives or additives by an in-house baker

Well, excuse me! The bread baked chez 661 is equally free of preservatives and additives. Of course, [foodie snob hat on]the sort of clientele who frequent these sort of establishments may not be familiar with that sort of bread[/snob hat off]...

It just occured to me the big one in the picture that 661-pete detests, if you put a skewer through it and eat it as a concertina, that would work?

I wouldn't know, I've never eaten a concertina, nor an accordion. I may have, in a fit of pique, entertained thoughts of eating my piano. More digestible, perhaps, than some of those 'burgers'. What part of it should I start on? Suggestions? The dampers? The strings? The pedals?
