/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Once a month maybe. Homemade or from Wendy's.

everyday but Tuesdays for reasons best left unsaid

>>5499144
maybe once every other week, usually homemade.

I used to eat Wendy's every week when I was a poor-fag

I haven't had a burger in months

Couple times a month. Homemade usually.

Made a dozen maybe 2 weeks ago. I dunno what the problem is its just meat and bread with vegetables. I think every country has an equivalent give or take the specifics.

Now fried chicken on the other hand...maybe you'd have a case.

Since giving up fast food I haven't had burgers, so it's been a couple years.
They should call us pizzaland, but that sounds less catchy.

Rarely

About twice a month. Usually homemade, or from one of the local burger stands.

between 0-4 times a week. usually 0, sometimes leftovers

>>5499144
>But how many times do you actually eat burgers regularly?
Like once every three months probably. I eat chicken quite often though.

>>5499144

>1 to 2 times a week
>thinking this is ok

I think I've found your problem right there.

>>5499144
Roughly once every two weeks I suppose. I like buying ground beef and making my own.

>>5499157
I'm almost surprised when Americans says they eat fast food because they are poor

In my country it's so expensive that you can't afford to eat fast food if you're lacking in money

>>5499220
And this why people call the usa burgerland.

Once every two weeks, maybe. Although I probably have pizza every week.

>>5499220
You can make a filling meal with fast food with $5 or so.
That's cheaper than the vast majority of restaurants.
The people who say they eat fast food because it's cheap are the people who don't know how to cook at all so these are the choices they have.

>>5499220
Usually it is people who are both time poor and money poor, sure you can eat cheaper by making it yourself/buying ingredients but many people work 2+ jobs and just don't have time

>>5499220
I'm in so cal and there's a burger joint where you can get a reasonably sized burger for a dollar.

>>5499224
Because our fast food is affordable? Ok. That makes no sense. And hamburgers are German.

I honestly don't remember the last time I've had a burger. I think it might be when I was driving home from vegas in 2008.

A Five Guys opened up near where I'm living in the UK. It's like £13 for a meal. That's like 25 Australian dollars. Is it worth it? You guys seem to really like your burger chains

>>5499261
Supply and Demand my friend.

>>5499273

Wouldn't that mean they could charge more here cause so many people eat fast food?

>>5499261
Meanwhile the national food of Germany is the doner kebab. And for UK, curry.
The location of creation doesn't matter.

>>5499256
A meal at macdonalds here costs around 11USD and if you go to a private owned burger joint it will cost you the double amount of money

I'm in college at the moment and it's the biggest factor in my burger eating. When I don't have much time to eat and won't be home all day I'll go to Hardee's and get a double cheeseburger and fries. I'd have like 1-2 burgers a week.

But I don't buy/eat hamburger at home and I don't really order them when I go out to 'fancier' restaurants. Beef's pretty expensive and hamburger is greasy. I prefer saving my money for a nice roast or a steak every once in a while.

>>5499220
It's actually this way in America, as well, except that 1) many American can't cook anything whatsoever and 2) people who have income but spend like idiots love to call themselves poor here.

I don't even remember the last time i ordered a burger? Maybe once a month. I'm not a fan of fries either.
>mfw yuropoors don't believe me.

>>5499275
no you economically illiterate

>>5499277
That's like saying tacos are officially American because there are stands everywhere. Don't be an idiot.

>>5499220
$1 for a burger?

Fast food is actually pretty much the same here in the US. decent(heh) fast food meal is like $10 per person, while a home cooked meal can be a quarter of that or less.

although we do have full pizzas for $5

>>5499278
Sucks for you. Guess that free healthcare isn't as free as you think

hmm... a few times per month?

>>5499345
Yes at a burger joint called tams. 1 dollar.

And there's a local pizza place that sells a large for 5.

>>5499266
No asshole. I'm sick of the threads that always say the same thing about five guys.

>ZOMG DIS WAS NOT GOOD BURGER FOR PRICE YOU GUISE LIIIIED

Probably at least 3 times a week.

If left to my own meal planning, probably about once a week, maybe more if I'm out and need to grab a bite.

>>5499344
The food a country is associated with doesn't have to be a native food. Just something that is ubiquitous.
This country doesn't create "new" things, it takes foods that have been brought elsewhere and makes them uniquely American.
Consider comparing wieners from Austria with American hot dogs.
Consider comparing pizza from Italy with with American pizza.
Consider comparing food from Mexico with the ones made at Taco Bell, or Chipotle.

>>5499266
I wouldn't pay that much money for a burger and fries. At the end of the day, it is just ground beef and potatoes.

Almost never

>>5499144
>But how many times do you actually eat burgers regularly?
About once a year. Shit tier food.

Do breakfast burgers count?

>People think that eating burgers 2-3x a week is bad for you
Oh wow. Bravo Yuros.

>>5499144

1-2 a day, but I work at a burger place

I can't do the fast-food/mcdonalds shit that everyhone likes, they fuck up my stomach every time

about 3 times weekly.
all homemade, easy to make, and easy to get some variation.
Beef, Falafel, Pulled Pork, Chicken, plenty of different ways to make em.
If i do eat out i usually order a durum roll, rarely get burgers from fast food places.

>>5500136
Rest in RIP

Also how do you cook your burgers?

I use this. It's actually really good at it, drains fat, and wipe clean.

>>5500144
>Falafel
>durum roll
traitor

>>5499144
I've eaten a hamburger for the last two days, but before then I hadn't had one in probably around 4-5 months.

>>5500154
>drains the juiciness and turns it into a fucking turd
FTFY

>>5500162
nigga i will beat you

>>5500173

>>5500169
>implying a regular grill doesn't just let it drip through the grate

I try to eat no more than one burger a day.

Do you guys put an egg into the meet before you grill it?

>>5500177
1v1 me faggot.
ill deep fry your dick

>>5500184
Yes for binding dat 80/20.

Sometimes i vary it up with wrorschestkhire sauce or soy or teriyaki.

Recently i made a ramen burger that was good

Maybe once every two months...not fast food burgers though.

>>5500198
I was visiting my dad and he wanted to grill burgers. I had suggested adding an egg so that it would be juicier and stick together. He refused and later was complaining that the patties were too dry and fell apart easily.

>>5499220
It's a bullshit addiction. A can of veggies go for about 80cents to a dollar here in America. Even on a budget you can still eat something better than McDonalds.

>>5500203
So both of you are too retarded to know how to make a hamburger? I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Depends. On a regular month maybe 3 times. I don't eat out much and don't like homemade burgers unless they're grilled.

I love cheeseburgers but only every other week or so.


Ill defend burgers to the death

>>5500204
>can of veggies

I wouldn't feed that to my dog. Maybe if you said a bag of frozen mixed veg and butter, but then you still need a little brotein.

The question is do Europeans really fuckin' hate burgers as much as they make it sound like? Do they not have taste-buds? A cheeseburger is one of the greatest things in the world. Knowing Europeans though, even if they have a burger it is probably always a hamburger and cheeseburgers are 'strange'.

>>5500222
$1.50 for a bag of frozen. Still cheaper than a medium fry at McDonalds.

>>5500232
but not a mcdouble/mcchicken/etc

>>5499266
honestly i had heard so many good things about five guys but they opened a bunch of locations here in toronto and while they're not terrible, they very overpriced for what it is.

our local gourmet burgerchain called south st burger is 10x better for the money.

Technically the McDouble (at American prices, aka a dollar) is the best nutrition/cost food in the world.

>>5500243
Neat.

>>5500243

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/10210327/McDouble-is-cheapest-and-most-nutritious-food-in-human-history.html

Does anyone do anything different with their burgers?

I sometimes open a can of peas, strain the water, and put a scoop of peas in the ground beef.

Its healthier and I feel better about eating burgers every other night.

>>5500257
...peas?...every other night?

I can't even respond to your post.

>>5500257

Sometimes I mix in shredded Parmesan. Or mozzarella. Mmmm. Haven't done that in a while.

>>5499347

>free healthcare

this isn't canada

>>5500259
It adds vegetables to my food.

Burgers every other night because you buy the value pack of meat to save money and gotta use the buns before going moldy. Plus tasty.

>>5499151
funny enough we have a local diner called wimpy's who's specilities are you guessed it burgers. bretty good place honestly i eat there when i head to my paretns place to visit so once or twice a week

>>5499278
>>5499347

McDonalds varies it's quality, and therefor price, based on local markets. A BigMac in the U.S is much greasier and disgusting than one found in other countries.

>>5500285

>Big Mac
>Greasy

Have you ever even been to McDonalds?

>>5500281
I grew up in England. Wimpys was bad (but I liked it) Has it got Better in the last 30 years?

>>5500290
in about 8 different countries

>>5500302

And you had a greasy big mac? I have also eaten McDonalds in many countries and the Big Mac is one of the worst, non-greasy, shitburgers of all time (and I'm not hating on fast food, just specifically the Big Mac).

I find it amazing you have found somewhere that serves a greasy Big Mac.

I would definitely say that Burger King quality varies and that a Whopper in Ogdensburg NY was dripping with grease; which I have never seen happen anywhere in Canada, Australia, Taiwan...

It's more likely a management problem than anything.

>>5500326

Whoppers are absolutely amazing.

The Whopper Test:

Next time you're having some overpriced meal that you are convincing yourself is delicious think 'is this better then a double whopper with cheese?'.

Usually at least once a week and sometimes as many as 5 or 6 times a week.

Anytime I happen to have ground beef.

I rarely ever eat out, and fast food burgers are shit I don't touch.

Once every few months, homemade or at local joints only

>>5500335

>>5500356

I guess I am being harsh, to each there own mate. I just think it's the worst of the fast food burgers, but that's just my opinion!

>>5500347
And you're a faggot that uses hashtags instead of English.

The last time I had a burger was about 13 after eating them for about one month (before that I refused to eat them) so about 9 years

what the fuck is with the goddamn pound signs all over everything lately. stoppit, it doesnt make cents

>>5500375
It doesn't make dollars, either.

>>5500363

Did the joke seriously fly directly over your head that fast?

>>5500375
It took me years to stop calling them pound symbols. Every time I did my friends would chuckle like complete faggots.

Fucking twitter man.

>>5499148
This. I probably eat a burger once a month, and a pizza every two months.

Fresh ground steak.

every 1-2 months i'd say

IIRC, The original hamburger was created in a restaurant in Connecticut, USA called Louis' Lunch. It was only named after Hamburg, Germany.

Or am I missing something here? Why are you guys implying hamburgers are German? Educate me.

>>5500957
hamburg steak was a chop steak. It has been served in Germany and America during the 19th century.

The hamburger (on a bun with whatever fixins) is American. Lou's Lunch is arguably the origin.

>>5500387
what do you brits call em then? #

>>5500957

there aer multiple claims to the hamburger, and chances are none of them are real. The louis lunch one especially seems like bullshit... even though they'be been claiming they invented it for decades... still.. dunno

I eat burgers enough for them to be right. I'm a fat american.

I stop at McDonalds every day, sometimes I get lunch there as well

>>5500963
>>5500976
I guess a ground beef sandwich is a pretty obvious invention so it's hard to really tell.

The Library of Congress officially says that Louis' Lunch is the creator, so that's good enough evidence for me.

I eat burgers 2 times a month. Unless ground beef is super cheap or I can dumpster it.

I eat lunch and/or dinner at bars at least 5 times a week. Usually burgers. Today was country-fried steak though.

>>5501153

So, what's being an alcoholic like?

Since summer is here, I fully expect my burger intake to increase at least 300%

Far from alcoholism. It's called being a real European or American.

>>5499144
I only get burgers 3 times a week. If anything we should be called hotdog land

You guys eat burgers WAY too fucking much. Jesus christ. Fatasses.

>>5501241

Two times a month

>>5501222

There's not one hotdog place except for costco since weinersnchinzel closed.

>>5499144
>Only 1-2 times a week

>>5501325
3 x 7 = 21 full meals a week not including a small snack including a single burger

2/21 = not even 1/10 of meals

>>5499144
>how many times do you actually eat burgers regularly?
1 to 3 times a year. Only when I'm traveling and there isn't a decent restaurant around.

>>5501334
Are pulling up the math to try to say that 2/21 of your meals being hamburgers isn't a lot?

>>5499144
I haven't had a burger since the first of the year (probably before, but I decided to give up fast food, and I don't cook burgers at home apparently).

>>5499144
I only eat burgers when my sister wants me to make them, and she only ever asks for them once in a blue moon

I think I haven't had one for about 2 months?

Genious troll or just ameriburger?

1-2 times a month

-Finland

>>5501398
That's like saying eating sandwiches 2x a week is a lot.

>>5499144
Once ever other week normally.

>>5499144
Honestly burgers are fairly revolting. I'll have beanpies instead.

>>5501077
Yeah. I don't have a twitter account, or a facebook, or any of that shit. Why do I need to know what random people are doing all the fucking time? People's lives are not that interesting. I'm always amazed when I listen to people talk about their social media shit. I was eavesdropping (unintentionally) on a group of guys at a coffee shop the other day, and they were talking about what a big deal it was that one guy changed his "status" from "it's complicated" to "in a relationship". I really wanted to say Really? You think it's important to broadcast the minutiae of your life like that? You think it's a big deal? FUCK. What happens when something major actually does happen? Do these people fucking explode?

>>5501435
"beanpies"....is that what your gay lover calls your sexual encounters?

>>5501437
I love you anon. You must be me I know it. Or perhaps I am you.

when i was building a house in the mountains we would go into town every other day and go to a diner and order burgers

my town is a mostly bar and food place town, theres more shit to eat and drink than there is actual things to do, its a tourism and outdoor activity rural black hole

we dont even have a wendys jack n the box burger king or the family sit down franchise places like red robin, chilis etc within 50-100 miles of here. that being said, though i usually go for pasta, fried food, whatever, sometimes a disgusting, bacon, onion ring, egg, ham or whatever topped kobe beef burger at a brewpub is pretty satisfying.

however, i could eat gas station "bahama mama" hotdogs all day every day until i died of heart failure

>>5499220
>>5499144
I fucking love a good burger. I eat one every 2 months or so.
Here (austria) your best option for fast food if you consider taste/ingredients/price is a kebap. Delicious

>>5499256
Fuckin love tams bro

>>5499352
64th and central says what's up, post contact info

ok, since we're in a burger thread I have some questions

before I bought some frozen patties that were something like 75/25 or 80/20. I pan-grilled them using the onion plate method and they came out awesome. This time though, I bought a couple kilos of 88/12 ground beef. The same method was useless; the shit stuck, fell apart, burned, and came out pretty dry. I had tried to avoid rolling the beef because you guys told me before that that ruins the fat marbling. What should I do to fix the lack of fat though? Could I melt some butter, let it cool a little, and then roll it into the meat right before I slam them into te pan to get it extra fatty?

>>5500227

the point is where to get those burgers. In Germany, most people hear "burger" and think McDonald's or Burger King because they have the most aggressive marketing.

Concerning my tastebuds, I find both those chains to make disgusting food. Everything is dripping in fat, the smell of the place (inside) is horrible and by the price scheme, I just know there is no good meat in there.

There are a couple of places that make really good burgers - but they are few and the food is more expensive. But damn, they taste good.
I am in Hamburg by the way - and I love some of the places here that make burgers.

>>5501334

>3 full meals a day

>What is a light breakfast?
>What is a light dinner?

Wth? I am by no means living in a poor country, but I eat one (1) full meal a day (that means: One warm meal).

For breakfast I usually have a bowl of Müesli, for dinner I eat 3-4 slices of bread.

so 2/7 main meals as burgers is a lot. If it does not seem a lot to you, this must be because you are a fat fuck anyways...

>>5501437

>don't cut yourself on that edge

>>5501754
Why would you eat just slices of bread? At least make a cold-cut sandwich or something, just slices of bread sounds like self-inflicted torture and carb-overload.

Would you consider scrambled eggs for breakfast to be a full meal? Where does this end of a full meal being a warm meal begin and end? Is oatmeal a full meal?

>>5499144

>Only 1-2 times a week, usually in n out

You must be trolling. I eat them like once a month. Jesus Fucking Christ.

What the fuck dude. I'm American and i eat a burger like every other week or once a month. Consider dieting

>>5501924
>>5501963

Can someone explain to me what is wrong with beef, a little cheese, and a bunch of vegetables that causes such rage against burgers?

Is it the bread or something that makes people loose their mind?

3 times every 2 months or less

>>5501999
It's the association with fast food, which means fries, soft drink as sides, and excess salt in the burger itself. Remove all that and burgers make an awesome meal.

>>5501999

I don't think it's too bad, especially if the burger is served on 100% whole wheat bread or a lettuce wrap or something. I personally believe that white bread like that twice a week is too much for me, especially considering it's probably not the average person's only consumption of white bread.

>>5499144
Jesus fuck dude.

At most once a month. Honestly, I'd say one every 2-3 months.

>>5502044
Good answer.

>>5502072
Can you explain why it is so abhorrent to you? What do you eat regularly that is so much better then meet and vegetables?

>>5501999
I think the real hate for burgers is that they've become a symbol of American bad taste conquering the world with a bottle of ketchup, a side of fries and a large coke.

I don't think it's wrong to hate them for that reason. It's not that burgers aren't delicious. It's that they are lowest common denominator shit you can't escape from. They're everywhere. Even good restaurants feel compelled to put them on the menu. They're all over the world, acting as ambassadors for everything wrong about America.

That's why I hate them.

>>5499144
I almost never go to fast-food hamburger places. Can't remember the last time I made any at home, there are better things to do with ground beef.

>>5499220
>I'm almost surprised when Americans says they eat fast food because they are poor
>In my country it's so expensive that you can't afford to eat fast food if you're lacking in money
It's considerably cheaper to cook for yourself in America too, it's just most people here are poor because they're fucking stupid and cannot make sound financial decisions. They eat fast food because they are poor, and yet they are poor because they eat fast food (and in general blow money on stupid shit).

>>5502122
>American bad taste conquering the world with a bottle of ketchup, a side of fries and a large coke.
As you say, they're everywhere. The rest of the world eats them right up... So how can you call it bad taste, when it is almost universally desired?

>>5502182
>So how can you call it bad taste, when it is almost universally desired?
Are you high? Bad taste is universal. Turn on the fucking radio, or catch the summer Hollywood blockbuster. If popularity was enough to make something good we'd all be positively disposed to Justin Bieber. That what a burger is - the food version of Justin Bieber.

>>5502225

I buy packs of pre-formed patties and cook em two at a time on a 12" cast iron for quick, cheap dinners a few times a week, now

I use veggies from my garden when I can

>>5502180
Poor people eat fast food because people are tired after working two jobs since they're poor.

>>5502255
>implying poor people work that hard.
Seriously, most don't work two jobs, they're just fucking lazy.

>>5502225
So what makes you the arbiter of good taste?

>>5502265
I'm not. I just know well enough that lowest common denominator shit is almost never good taste.

>>5502122

>Everyone thinks they are absolutely delicious.
>Bad taste.

You better go tell them they are wrong, anon.

>>5502279

What? How? Isn't good taste just whatever makes people smile and enjoy?

>>5502297
When it comes to food, yes. When it comes to creative works, no.

>>5502314
>When it comes to creative works, no.

Why? Of course I think some stuff is better then other stuff; but I've come to realize that my old childlike shouting of 'REAL metal!' with Bathory, Burzum, etc. Vs. 'faggy time bullshit' like Slipknot and whatever is just a waste of breath. Why should I give a crap if someone enjoys Slipknot if it's what makes them happy? Do I have such an attachment to superficial things like music that it is my duty to tell others they are wrong for liking certain things? Is that what my life really is; the taste-police, showing all the plebeians that their music is crap and mine is great? Am I that much of a complete loser?

>>5500243
Assuming the only nutrient to need is calories.

>>5502335
Yes

>>5502367
calories aren't a nutrient fuckface

>>5500232
Yeah but who wants to crunch on frozen peas on their lunch break after working for six hours?

>>5502368

That's what I am getting at, I was that much of a loser, and so is anyone else that thinks that way.

>>5502380
because popularity determines social change

>>5502180
Or they live in a food desert, live in an apartment with no cooking facilities, and have nothing to eat at work other than fast food.

>>5501999
I'm thinking these other posters are assuming you're going out to eat these burgers at a fast food place, which might not be the best for you and their assumption is right if you're OP, as you have claimed to be doing just that. 1-2 a week, usually in n out implies that you are also going other places infrequently.

If you're making your own burgers you can decide upon the ratio of lean to fat produce you're using, maybe this is generally less frowned upon.

All theories aside, you can't please all of the ego all of the time and this board has to host one of the most relevantly elitist userbases on 4chan.

for reference: I consume much beef, but in the form of a burger maybe once every 3 months, probably less. I find the assembly just isn't worth it when I could be making something more complex/using actual cuts of meat. Cheers!

>>5501999
Being American and/or hating American things is cool. Like hating white people.

I make some every other month.

Yeah, once a month. Usually GBK.

Nigga if you don't love burgers there's something wrong with u

>>5499144
I have only had burgers maybe once or twice in the last 6 months, and no pizza in the same amount of time

>>5502122
Wow. This is some warped shit.

>Eating burgers 2x a week makes you fat
Wut.
>all these "you must be a fat fuck"

A burger is like 500-600 calories. Milk is like 100. Some veggies 50. 750 calories for one of the biggest meals of the day.

>>5502906
...milk?

>>5502908
It's good for you.

I have maybe 2 burgers per month.

>>5500371
Jesus christ. You are such a faggot.

I can't remember the last time I ate a burger.

>>5503048
you are already dead

Maybe ones a month. Homemade burgers, fuck the bread

When I was working, I ate burgers probably 4x a week.

Shit burgers too. Wendys, McD, In N Out, BK.

>>5499144
1-2x a month. I tried to buy one for lunch but the place was closed. I'm more into tacos and sandwiches than burgers.

Here is a caricature of a burger lover from decades ago. Now that most of America is shaped like him the idea of not loving burgers as a symbol of America seems warped?

>>5499266
If you're worried about that small amount of money avoid it like the plague.

>>5502076

>veggies and meat
>in n out

OP stated he eats fastfood burgers twice a week. Eating fastfood at all is stupid, eating it more than once a month is ridiculous so eating it twice a week is plain fucking retarded.

Eating the same meal for dinner more than once a week shows a complete lack of cooking skills, imagination or taste as it is. Make that fastfood and you are what's wrong with the world.

Fast food? 4-5 times a year. But in the summer months it's on normal meal rotation so every other week I will bbq some.

probably once every 3 weeks but usually more during the summer with barbeques and whatnot.

Like once or twice a month.

>only 1-2 times a week

i probably have burgers between a couple times a week to once a month. i don't like fast food burgers i usually go to a fish and chip shop or a burger place like white lady or burger fuel or murder burger.

but i dont live in america, and i probably do eat more burgers than other people i know.
People mostly make them at home here anyway, and its like a fun treat.

but then there are certain types of people who most likely have mcdonalds or takeaways every night here too but they tend to be the poor people.

i mean we have takeaways most nights but thats because we work out late in town and get home at like 11-12 so it makes sense.

>>5502122
Sounds like you just hate America and for some reason associate burgers with them. Burgers are for the most part universally enjoyed and a typical solution for people who don't have a taste for different foods, are picky, or can't find something on the menu they like. That's why they are all over the world on so many menus. Plus they are versatile as fuck. You really think the US is dominating the world like that? If you want to blame someone, or rather if you HAVE to blame someone for the burger oppression you feel, blame the companies that commercialized them.

>>5503344
It's literally impossible to find a non-vegetarian who doesn't like burgers.

I honestly do not recall the last time I ate a burger.

>>5501855

of course I put toppings on there. Thin slices of meat / cheese.

I honestly don't even enjoy burgers. I had one a couple weeks ago because there was nothing else available and I didn't want to be rude to the party host, but I honestly don't eat burgers on my own.

>>5503393
it might be the most true thing i've heard in months

>>5500227
>Knowing Europeans though, even if they have a burger it is probably always a hamburger and cheeseburgers are 'strange'.
>Knowing Europeans

you don't know europeans if you think we think that.

Euro's love to hate on Americans in the same way that idiots read tabloids to keep up with celebrities. The same. Exact. Way.

>>5499151
Tell us

Once a week. Connecticutfag steaming is our way. Fuck off White Castle.

P.S. Those frozen White Castle burgers in the supermarket are amazing. DO NOT MICROWAVE them though.

Once a month at best.

>>5504029
It's more like we are watching at a tard-brawl trainwreck and can't look away.

But all in all, America has some ridiculous shit which I feel high disdain for (gun laws, zealous christianity, extreme amounts of fastfood for abnormally low prices, Supreme Court, antiquated laws, military spendings) but I like a lot of things too, and most Americans I've met are friendly, smart and good people.

Truth is, it's just good-hearted banter. In Yurop we talk shit about other countries too. Come to think of it, is there any rivalry between states? Like the British and the French, the Dutch and the belgians?

>>5503344
I most definitely do not hate America. Born here, live here, and I've been across this great country several times.

What I hate is the American tendency to celebrate ignorance, poor taste and crappy shit like it's something amazing. A burger, the very symbol of American cuisine is the embodiment of this.

Here we are in a country with some of the world's best restaurants, an abundance of good ingredients available to us, immigrants from everywhere in the world enriching out food culture... We have truly world class food and dining in this country.

Yet the symbol of American food is a short order cook's sandwich of ground fucking beef? That's pathetic.

And instead of finding that embarrassing most Americans celebrate it. It's like celebrating ignorance. Why eat something interesting or refined when you can just stuff another burger into your face? If a burger's not good enough for you you're being highfalutin.

It's this kind of mentality that makes me ashamed of some of my compatriots:

>>5500328
>Next time you're having some overpriced meal that you are convincing yourself is delicious think 'is this better then a double whopper with cheese?'.

I just can't get on board with celebrating stupid. But I'll still have a burger a couple times a year.

>tfw american
>eat burgers 2-3x a week
>still can't gain weight
>32
Are you guys lying about burgers making you fat? Is it because people eat the bacon double grease instead of a normal sized burger?

Do they drink sugar soda and fries? Because those seem like the main culprit.

>>5499266
Over rated, but yeah its decent.
Would recommend trying at least once.

>>5499144

maybe once a month.

>>5504150
Besides for general North vs South I can't think of any particular states that grudges towards one another.

>>5504228
>I don't like burgers for INTELLECTUAL reasons

youre a fag.

burgers are not even food.

the fact that you ask yourself that question is what makes you american. even if you never eat it.

>>5506878
Yes. I have philosophical problems with burgers being s symbol of America, on practically every fucking menu and pretty much the default food for people who have no desire to eat something interesting.

What we eat is part of how we define ourselves. I most definitely do not define myself as someone who eats burgers on any kind of regular basis. In most situations there's something better to eat than a fucking burger.

>>5506893
You worry way too much about self image, faglord.

>>5506893
>I have philosophical problems with burgers

Jesus fuck.

>>5506899
Image maintenance is part of my job. Not the fun part, but part of it just the same.

Once a month. Always homemade.

Fast food burgers is too expensive for what you get, and is disgusting anyway.

I agree

>>5500227
>The question is do Europeans really fuckin' hate burgers as much as they make it sound like?

in most places here, burgers = McD and Burger King.

'burger' is also the most iconic fast food item, and has a pretty shitty image because of that.

You got it wrong. I love American food. We've got guys like Thomas fucking Keller, for fuck's sake. I just hate the stupid shit, like, say, Guy Fieri. The glorification of the burger falls into that latter camp, for me.

>>5499278
Where the fuck are you going that it cost 22USD for a burger? Most expensive local owned place around me is about 12.

>>5507400
Yeah the burger place near me is $10-12 and has the best fries $5 but so worth it. They're small thin and flavorful.

I have to limit myself on burgers because they're expensive. Usually only once a month

Anon, that is a meatball. Mixing together minced meat with alcohol, bread, and fish sauce is not a hamburger. It's meat with filler.

>>5508289
Adding bread can change the texture, making the meat more tender. Bread soaked with wine adds flavor.

Why are you even eating the bun or condiments at all? It's all filler. Just eat straight ground beef LIKE A REAL MAN YEAH.

>>5499144
Legitimately, maybe five or six times a year.

>>5499144
About 3 times in a year, i grill burgers on my garden grill usually once a year and other than that burgers from mcdonalds when i'm out of town but usually not more than 3 times in a year

I can't even imagine eating burgers 2 times every week, you must weigh like 300 pounds and have had 2 heart attacks before you were 30

>>5499220
This. If i buy complete menu at mcdonalds in my country:
one burger, french fries and a cola
it will cost me about 30% more than going to a restaurant would
Only middleclass people can afford fastfood here

>>5500281
Oh shit, I thought Wimpy Burger was finished. Haven't heard of it for years. Certainly can't get it in my town. Where is your Wimpy? I'm in Hull, England and haven't seen a Wimpy here since the 80s.

My little brother had his birthday there when he was about 5 or 6, and the staff member who was sort of coordinating the Wimpy birthday party thing, he starts going "Who want to meet Mr Wimpy? You all wanna meet Mr Wimpy?"

We're all stupid kids so we all go "YEAH!" and the guy goes "Okay but you gotta shout for him or he won't come out," so he gets us all to start shouting "MISSSTER WIMMMMPEEEE!!" in this weird sort of slow chant, led by the coordinator/party organiser guy.

After a bit of yelling this guy in a HUGE costume (pic related) waddles out and he must've been 7 or 8 foot tall and just massively imposing. My little brother freezes, and as Mr Wimpy starts shuffling towards him he starts screaming and backing away, towards my Mum. We couldn't get him to stop crying all day, even though all the other kids loved him.

For about 3 years afterwards, if my brother was misbehaving, all anyone had to do was say they'd get Mr Wimpy to come and sort him out and if that didn't work, just start that slow chant from the Wimpy Burger place, and he'd sit still and be quiet.

"MISSSTER WIMMMPEEE...."

I'm British and I never eat burgers regularly. It's usually about once every 3 months or so (but I might have a couple in one sitting).

But about 5 days ago I got a couple of burgers from a fast food place I'd never tried because it got good reviews on the internet, and they were so good I got another 4 burgers a couple of days later (I had 2 that day and 2 the next day, reheated).

Unfortunately, my friend and neighbour happened to be standing outside our building when the delivery guy came, and I had to explain that, yes, I had just ordered 4 burgers from a takeaway.

I usually eat quite healthy so they were shocked and appalled. One of my mates who used to be obese said "I don't want to tell you what to do Anon, but if you eat like that all the time you'll end up like I was."

tl;dr: usually no more than 4 times a year, but this last week I ate burgers 3 times (6 burgers in total).

Ausfag reporting

I eat burgers once every 6-7 months on average. I don't think burgers are a sought after food outside of guilt/takeaway and so nobody really has them..

unless you're a teenager back home after a wicket night out drinking

but otherwise I am fat and I do have a collections of fine firearms, I also pass out bibles, and copies of the constitution

Do garden burgers count?

Then 1x week on my healthy days.

You don't sound like someone who has a lot of friends.

More than I can deal with, actually. My social life is at times busier than my work schedule. If I were independently wealthy I could probably fill most of my days just socializing.

>>5509371
Then you are likely the one in the group they all hate because you are pretentious, probably talk too much and dominate conversations, and give unwarranted criticism while thinking you are being a good friend but really you sound like a jackass.
Right now, as you are reading this and thinking about how to reply, your friends are getting burgers and joyously proclaiming how delicious they are and one of their favorite foods.

Nah, he's friends with pretentious people. His life is a sitcom.

Do you live in New York?

>>5509657
This. I've eaten $500 meals, but I'll still eat a fucking double cheeseburger from McDoogals when I want to, because it fucking tastes good. Always staying high brow is just as bad as always staying low brow. Variety is the spice of life.

Usually once a week. Homemade though.

>>5499144
maybe once a month. I eat like a dirty chico or whatever that mexican word for meximerican is.

>>5509783
>His life is a sitcom.
I have described it that way.

Brooklyn, of course.
>>5509806
>I'll still eat a fucking double cheeseburger from McDoogals when I want to, because it fucking tastes good.
If I thought McDonald's tasted good I'd eat it. I don't, so I don't.
>Always staying high brow is just as bad as always staying low brow.
I find it's the stuff in the middle that's generally not worth bothering with.
>Variety is the spice of life.
Agreed. And I've already eaten a lifetime's worth burgers, so I'm happy to move on to other things.

Aren't burritos more american than burgers?

>>5499144
Once a week on average, but occasionally twice. Always homemade and made from ground turkey, never beef.

>>5500169
Not the person you're responding to, but I cook burgers on a George Foreman too. If your burgers are thin, they really do dry up and turn into turds. But if you make your burgers thick, the grill sears the outside, keeping the insides juicy.

>>5504150
Everyone hates New Jersey. There's also -some- North and South states rivalry but it's not a big deal. Also East coast/West coast rivalry as well but again, it's not a big deal either.

Once or twice a month usually. Used to be just fast food but now that I have a grill I make homemade burgers more often.

No reason to lie, at least 10+ a week.

Random fast food, restaurants, made at home, somehow it adds up.

Do you ever get this? Like they expect me to buy lots of meat for myself when all i want is enough for 1 meal

>>5512150
I suspect it is because many people are like me. I hate going to the grocery store, so when I have to I tend to stock up. It's a pain in the ass, it's always crowded, it's a 30 mile round trip. I try to make as few trips as I can possibly manage.

Buildings literally 30 second walk away from my work. Is it wrong to buy fresh?

In that case no, of course not, assuming you don't spend more time in line than it takes to actually cook the meal.

>>5512169
he's prob not grinding fresh everyday and if he is he isnt getting fresh beef daily. plus its fucking shitty and sad to by one patty

also why are you buying premade patties and not just ground beef

No reason to lie. I eat burgers about once or twice a month, but Taco Bell at least 4 times a week. Fat as fatass.

>>5512175
Convenience. I just want to go home, plop it on the stove, and be done.

Sometimes I put on bbq sauce, or sliced onions, always a pickle wedge on the side, never lettuce b/c no nutrients, occasionally I'll chop up broccoli finely and put it in (the sauce holds the loose broc in place)

>mfw Islands Burgers

Really overpriced and shit

>>5512272

dammit Rummy, why do you always have to take the fast food route?

>>5512284
Throw them in the freezer. Thaw them in the oven at a low temperature after brushing with milk.

>>5512281
they don't serve yoga mat material in the bread anymore

>>5512289
the price is right and saves me time

>>5512291
freezer bread has never worked out well for me unless I use it within a couple days of freezing or toast the shit out of it so I don't notice the crustiness

I like to have In-N-Out whenever possible since the nearest one is at a cock-teasing distance of 80miles. I too partake in the consumption of America's finest sandwich about once or twice a week.

not american and also not fat. I eat 8-12 a month, one of those would be bought and the rest home made

>>5499144

i only eat burgers every other meal

american here, i eat burgers a few times a month probably. most of my diet is italian food....lots of different pasta all the time, chicken and veal parmesan is common, meatballs, italian sausage. if i eat out/get fast food i usually opt for tacos or some nice chili dogs over burgers.

I eat a burger everyday or two.

Probably not for that price. You'd be better off making one on your own.

I don't get why people eat burgers at restaurants
it's ten times cheaper and usually better and easy as hell to just press your own burgers together and fry them

>>5515804
idk man, i'm one of those people too. when i eat out it's usually not cause i really wanted to, it's cause theres some occasion and i got invited, people are always like WHO ORDERS A GRILLED CHEESE AT A DINER or WHO ORDERS A BURGER AT A STEAKHOUSE, like man it's what i feel like eating and i just happen to be eating out, whatevs. paying more or not, if i'm in the mood for burger i'll eat burger

>>5499144
I saw this thread and made myself a burger to eat while I was reading it just so I would feel meta.

>>5515808
I suppose I'm one of those people who'd say "I don't get why people eat at restaurants"

I recently made a spinach patty by light cooking some spinach, cooled it, and then mixed it in a food processor with ground beef and egg.

I bet i could sell it for a shit load at trendy burger places.
