In another thread someone jokingly suggested that he might sue McDonald’s when there are no pickles on his burger. I detest pickles on my burger and have often wondered why they still put them on. Dopers pickles or no pickles? ---

I love pickles, but not on a burger. ---

There absolutely _must_ be pickles on a burger! ---

I prefer a pickle on the side. Usually, when you order pickles on a burger, you get 4 stacked on top of each other, consumed in one bite. On the side, I can regulate my pickle intake, and adjust accordingly. ---

God I hate pickles. I’d get my burger without pickles if it didn’t take forever and baffle everyone behind the counter. So I pick them off and throw them away. Which of course, doesn’t work, because one of the nasty things about pickles is that they make all food within a five mile radius of them taste like pickles. Why have a burger with pickles? Just eat a big pickle - it’s the same effect. ---

A kosher dill gherkin should be sliced lengthwise into four segments and balanced carefully in a row on the raw onion on top of the patty, ensuring that pickle is ingested in every bite of the sandwich. ---

Pickles on a hamburger are a stench in the nostrils of God. ---

I like them, but only if they are on the bun UNDER the hamburger. The lettuce and tomato go on top of the burger, and the onions and pickles go UNDER thje burger. ---

Yeah, definitely on the burger. Not really a burger, but sliders must have onions and pickles - NO KETCHUP or any other condiment. Cheese is optional. ---

Pickles on a burger- Yum. May I safely assume that all of you no-pickle people are also very much against relish? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pickles-on-a-burger-a-poll/150432.md?page=2)
