As Dh keeps doing it in the wrong order which involves ketchup near salad! Shock

That looks right to me. Although I might add mustard and pickles into the mix too. But I do agree that ketchup on the salad is just wrong!

WetdreamBeliever · 30/09/2020 13:50

Don't put the salad under the burger. It's important that all the grease and fat from the burger is free to soak into the bun for that true heart-attack taste.
Yummy.

HilaryBriss · 30/09/2020 13:50

Well, you have mayo or burger sauce next to the salad so why not ketchup?

To be honest, I love burgers and don't care in what order they are assembled!

briebuiltthiscity · 30/09/2020 13:50

@PrincessSarene pickles would go above the cheese I think

Ketchup and salad?? Yanbu to forbid him from ever making you a burger 😄

briebuiltthiscity · 30/09/2020 13:51

@WetdreamBeliever ooh now that’s a fair point - but then you’ve got a very top heavy burger!

Bottom bun
Fried onions
Ketchup
Burger
Cheese
Pickles
Tomato
Lettuce
Mayo or mustard

Top bun

AriettyHomily · 30/09/2020 14:04

You're wrong. Cheese needs to be under and on top of the burger to melt. Salad on the very top so it doesn't go limp.

BarbaraofSeville · 30/09/2020 14:06

No bun. I'm not a carb fearer, but I've never had a burger bun that is actually nice.

No cheese either. Melted cheese and burgers do not go. Revolting.

Burger, salad, sauce and pickle all good, with some thin and crispy fries.

But each to their own. Have it your way, as they say.

Bottom bun

Cheese

I would consider a side salad, but not a salad in the bun.

So what does your DH do then?

doctorhamster · 30/09/2020 14:07

Nah. Salad on top of the burger otherwise it gets all squished and limp. Ketchup on the bottom bun and Mayo on the top (cos Mayo next to the salad is fine)

Breathmiller · 30/09/2020 14:08

Bottom bun
Mayo
Burger
Mustard
Ketchup
(Kids & Dh have melted cheese here but cheese has no place on my burger)
Cooked onions
Gherkins

Top bun (that has been lightly toasted in the burger pan to soak up the cooking juices)

With chips on the side with more Ketchup, mustard and mayo.

I am sooo hungry now.

newmumwithquestions · 30/09/2020 14:08

OP are you me? ‘D’H makes me burgers/sandwiches in the wrong order. And says I’m being picky. It matters!

There are a few suitable combinations and permutations. Salad next to ketchup is never appropriate.

UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername · 30/09/2020 14:09

YAallBU for posting your burgers upside down. You need to list them the other way up.

FelicityPike · 30/09/2020 14:10

Bottom bun
Burger
Lettuce
Sauce
Top bun.

MissPoldark · 30/09/2020 14:10

But what about the gherkins!
The gherkins maketh the burger.

contrmary · 30/09/2020 14:11

YABU (and frankly irresponsible) because you've omitted the bacon.

MrsToothyBitch · 30/09/2020 14:11

YABU for including salad/lettuce.

MissPoldark · 30/09/2020 14:14

I also like pineapple on my burger Grin but no one else does so I often have to go without

Mypathtriedtokillme · 30/09/2020 14:15

Top bun
Dressing
Lettuce,
tomato
Beetroot
Cheese
Meat Pattie/grilled chicken
Fried onions
Sauce
Bottom bun.

Anything else is monstrous.

Mypathtriedtokillme · 30/09/2020 14:16

And bacon (which is above the meat)

LadyR77 · 30/09/2020 14:18

CuriousaboutSamphire · 30/09/2020 14:19

Bottom bun
Burger
Cheese
Burger sauce
Gherkin
Raw onion
Top bun, lightly toasted

You want to bottom bun to soak up all the juices and you don't want the top bun to steal all of the burger sauce!
