You MUST have pickles on a burger! Dill and sliced into rounds (not spears–they slide off).
Dill pickles, oh yes. And grilled onions. Throw some cheese and bacon on there too. I’m with Jimmy B. on that cold draft beer!
Pickles on burgers - a big YEA, I’ll eat pickles with anything, I love them.
My first job, at Burger King (at the tender age of 15) was a lesson in burger-building. The boss had strict rules: One pickle on a hamburger, three pickles on a Whopper. Heaven help the poor slob who accidentally threw on a fourth in an effort to keep up with the burger conveyor! You were immediately banished to the soft-drink machine until you could “control” yourself.
I like a pickle on a burger. I also like a little cheese and pickle sandwich. Mmmmm…tasty!
There should be a pickle on a burger. A dill pickle, needless to say. I just about gagged the first and only time I tried a Hardee’s “Six-Dollar Burger” (which deserves a whole nother rant for one or two other reasons) and bit into a sweet pickle. WTF? Aren’t sweet pickles just obviously wrong? Isn’t it just common sense that “sweet” and “pickle” do not go together? It’s an offense against nature and a contradiction in terms, like, oh, “salty ice cream” or “spicy milk” or, well, “sweet potatoes.”
No pickles! Off off off off off!
Yes pickles! On on on on on!
And I love onions as much as the next guy, but raw onions on a burger? Gross.
Agree. I don’t like dill pickles. I don’t want them on my hamberger. I don’t want them on the plate next to my hamberger or sandwich, either. I don’t want to have to smell the pickle, and I don’t want pickle juice on my food.
I’ve always suspected that people wanting pickles with hambergers and/or sandwiches are the minority. I don’t get why restaurants give everyone pickles. Why not just have them available for those who request them?
Pickles, sliced, dill. Check.
Red Onions, sliced, raw. Check
Okay, yellow or white onions will do if you don’t have red. But I can’t eat a pickle-less hamburger without a sense of melancholy for What Could Have Been.
I like pickles on my burger. Hell, sometimes I’ll ask for EXTRA pickles.
I hate onions, though. Hatehatehate them. I order them without onions when I can, but at, say McDonald’s, it’s kinda hard (their regular burgers have those onion chunks…blech.
PICKLES MAKE THE BURGER. This is one of the reasons I love Harvey’s. Big lengthwise sliced yummy pickels. 9-10 on the burger and as many on the side as they can give me without their manager seeing them.
You know what I love about threads like these?
Finding out that the sensible folks with whom I agree on politics, theology, music, etc., can be hapless lunatics when it comes to dressing their hamburgers, or tying their shoelaces or whatever.
And that the biggest jack-booted fascist Jesus-freak Eminem fan and I could smile and nod approvingly at each other and share the extra raw onions over the diner counter.
Pickle slices, grilled onions and thousand island. Ketchup is for french fries.
Oh… did I mention I love pickles?
Burgers without pickles (and without raw onions!) make the Baby Jesus cry!
I love me some pickles and just gotta have 'em on those buhgahs.
Yes! Yes! pickle on the burger GOOOOOOOOD…
No pickles please.
Oh, and as for raw onions on a burger, well, I like them okay, but they tend to stay with me the rest of the afternoon, and sometimes I’m just not looking for a long-term relationship with my food.
No - horrible, nasty things.
